Emotions are one thing that many of us have trouble with. Whether we have trouble identifying our own emotions, controlling your emotions, or understanding others’ emotions, they are something we have to deal with daily. Emotional intelligence, also known as emotional quotient (EQ), is defined by Huffington Post as a “person’s ability to identify, evaluate, control and express emotions.” This is what gives us the ability to interact with others and be able to handle social
We all have day-to-day responsibilities that we must accomplish. Some of our responsibilities we may enjoy, such as cooking a nice meal, while others might be more laborious, such as showing up for work at 7 am. However, learning to handle responsibility is an important part of being a functional adult. Help your young child start to develop skills around responsibility from a young age. By teaching responsibility in a fun and positive way, you can
Learning to communicate clearly is a skill set we can all benefit from. One of the best things you can do for your young child is helping them develop positive communication skills from the time they are very little. If you have a child who is of preschool age, there is no better time than now to start instilling positive communication skills in their day-to-day life. Here at Yellow Brick Road, we provide outstanding child care
As the weather (hopefully) begins to get warmer, it will be time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine with your children! We can’t wait for spring and we are sure your children feel the same way. They want to be able to play outside without worrying about bundling up in coats, snow pants, boots, mittens, scarves, and hats. And we are sure you want to be able to sit on your porch, basking in the

Give us a call if you want a safe learning environment to drop your kids off while you are busy. But children are always learning and growing, not just at school or day care. As a parent, it is important to cultivate their proclivity for learning
Children learn in many different ways: they learn through observation, listening, testing cause and effect, interacting with others, exploring their curiosities, and playing. Kids are like sponges, they absorb so much information on a daily basis and through this they learn about themselves, others, and the world. Don’t you miss the days when learning was that easy? Learning is fun for kids, probably because they do not realize they are actually learning. But they enjoy making
To many people, babies and toddlers just seem like cute and entertaining fat rolls. They grab whatever they can get their hands on, stick everything in their mouths, and tumble around the house. You may think that they won’t learn a thing until they are a few years old. You may think that you have to teach them slowly for them to learn, and that they are not taking any information in. But in reality, your
Self-esteem is something we all struggle with. Even many adults still have trouble building their self-esteem. This is why it is so important to help children, starting at a young age, grow and develop their self-esteem. Your child should be able to do different things with confidence and believe in themselves. Whether they are making decisions, working on projects alone, or interacting with others, self-esteem can affect the way they act in these situations. Your children
Teaching your child to read doesn’t have to be a challenge, in fact it can be fun and rewarding. You will be proud when you children can actually read the words on a page rather than just memorise what happens on each page. There are many ways you can help your child to learn how to read, from labeling items in your home and working on the alphabet, to reading to them and having them read
Your little ones grow fast and may be starting kindergarten in the coming school year. As a parent, you may not be prepared for this moment—your kids are growing up and moving on to bigger and better things. This is a big moment in your life, but even more so for them. Maybe they have never been in a school setting, or maybe they are just nervous about it. Either way, you must help them prepare.
