Preschool at Home | Episode 40
The early years of a child’s life are crucial for their long term development and success. In this archive episode, Carole, Rachel and her husband, Jesse, discuss how preschool at home is the best nest for the preschool child’s growth. They share their family’s practical rhythms—like meaningful work, daily nature walks, and lots of read-aloud time—all focused on nurturing curiosity, habits, and character. What kids truly need is loving connection, real-life learning, and parents who are confident guides. You will love this episode if you are moving into a season of preschool-aged children and feel lost!
