You see their names pop up on the playground chat, you wave hello to them during carpool, but it’s time to really get to know our newest Morahs at CMCH!

As we continue to nurture our young learners, teaching them social skills and manners is essential, but it's equally important to make this learning process engaging and positive. Rather than using forceful methods, we can guide children in a supportive and enjoyable manner.

Now that the first week of school is behind you (- whew!), it’s a great time to reflect on how drop-offs have been going and to fine-tune your approach. Whether your child is still adjusting or has settled in nicely, there are steps you can continue to take to make drop-off easier and build trust between your child, their teacher, and you.

From the model Seders to the highly detailed Haggadahs all the children and Morahs poured their hearts into; the deep understanding, engagement, and connection the children feel is palpable across the school.

Seder and routine are vital to a child's sense of calm. Having structure that follows a schedule that gives a child familiarity of knowing what the day looks like and what comes next is one of the anchors of confidence building.
