Happy December! You’re getting two emails from me today — the Monthly Resource Toolkit and your Weekly Planner (coming shortly.) Thank you for rolling with the double drop. I promise it’s all good stuff!
The December Resource Toolkit is designed to help you get through one of the busiest months of the year with a little more ease and a lot more joy. This month’s collection includes simple, meaningful activities, ready-to-use printables, and pre-written content you can plug directly into your family or staff newsletters. Everything is created with one goal in mind: helping you build connection and community without adding extra work to your plate.
Inside this month’s toolkit, you’ll find:
• Holiday & Winter Celebration Ideas
Thoughtful, easy-to-implement ideas for celebrating the Winter Solstice, hosting a staff gingerbread house contest, and adding small seasonal touches that feel special without being overwhelming.
• Pre-Written Newsletter Content
Short, clear blurbs you can copy into your December newsletters, including updates, reminders, and supportive tips for families navigating this busy month at home.
• Printables & Visuals
Beautifully designed pages for solstice quotes, voting slips, gingerbread contest rules, theme ideas, and other seasonal activities you can use in classrooms or post in shared spaces.
• Staff Learning Spotlight: The Power of Storytelling
This month’s professional learning focus explores how storytelling strengthens language development, builds classroom connections, and supports emotional regulation. You’ll find a Director overview plus a printable for your staff lounge to help teachers weave more meaningful stories into their daily routines.
The goal of this toolkit is simple: to make each month feel more manageable, more connected, and a little more magical for you, your staff, and your families.

If you find this toolkit helpful, the best way to support this work is simply to share it with other leaders in early childhood. Word of mouth is how our little community grows, and I’m so grateful every time you pass these resources along to someone who might need them.
