Today we’re talking about how to set up a meaningful before-school Meet the Teacher event. Not a curriculum night or open house, but that special time when families and students come in before the first day to explore the classroom, ease nerves, and kick off the year with calm and connection.

If you’re planning your Meet the Teacher visit or want to make yours run more smoothly, this episode is full of practical tips and real-talk encouragement. Plus, you can grab my exact checklist (and all my back-to-school forms) in the Kindergarten Pack linked below.

In this episode I share:

• What to include (and not include) at your visit
• Why sending info ahead of time saves your sanity
• My go-to checklist that keeps kids and parents engaged
• The picture book I always read to end on a sweet, supportive note

• Kindergarten Back to School Activities | First 2 Weeks Kindergarten Lesson Plans
• First Month of Kindergarten Success Kit | Back to School Activities Mega Bundle
