- Heeey guys! This was fun to film and I answered lots of frequently asked questions from my vlogs! I DON'T have it all figured out but I hope this video is helpful and doesn't bring guilt if you're not into these things. I personally enjoy the things I share which is why I do them with the girls but there are other areas I could improve on that aren't "my thing" haha! (I could also improve in lots of these areas, too ;) Don't forget that you DON'T need to do it all! Even just one or a few of these ideas are great for building skills with your toddler or baby! Hope you all have an amazing day! :) -Cara

As a para professional in an early childhood special education preschool class I can definitively say you are doing a phenomenal job preparing them for preschool. So impressed with how intentional you are with the girls and try to make learning fun. I remember that video of Quinn rhyming words and was impressed! I read to both my boys from birth, they are now 15 and 25 and both still like to read.
I cannot WAAAAIIIIIITTTTT for future homeschooling content! You give so much inspiration through CZcams!💓📚✏️📓📖✂️
As a teacher, and someone who wants to be a mom someday this is amazing!!
The way you try and make education fun is one of the MANY reasons I have enjoyed watching your videos! My husband and I plan to homeschool as well, and SO many of the things you’ve said you do and the things you showed here are what we’ve used and done too! Our daughter is 3.5 and has been reading for 4 months now and is 1st grade level with everything except for writing. Our son is 20 months and knows some letters and some of their sounds, knows all the colors, can count to 20, knows animals and their noises, and that’s all just from doing the simple things and they definitely have plenty of playtime as well! I’ve really discovered since having my babies how much I LOVE bonding with them over educational things, even if it’s an educational show or something, and just seeing them learn fuels that passion even more! (Not that I don’t bond with them over other things too!)
I’ve watched since the day you brought Ace home as a puppy. Can we please have one blog that highlights Ace now as a beautiful big part of the family! I miss him!
I love this video!! My baby is only 7 months old but we read lots of books and I love all the ideas!
another helpful video! thank you! I always feel motivated after watching your videos.
That’s awesome you plan to homeschool! My sister and I were homeschooled and I always loved it! A lot of people asked us if we got bored..which was a funny question to me because I didn’t find it boring at all! My mom had a basic curriculum that she followed, but she also let us choose things we wanted to learn. We also found a lot of social activities through the local homeschool group..so we always had something going on. You’re already doing a great job teaching the girls so Im sure they’ll have a great experience with it as they get older!
Uh any kindergarten teachers out here will tell you, you are prepping them for K! So many kids enter into kindergarten without a thorough knowledge of letters, numbers, and certainly not spelling. Excellent excellent video. Thank you!
So helpful, more of these ideas please!
This is great! Such practical advice and good resources. I am homeschooling my kids and we are using a literature based curriculum with books galore. I have noticed both of my kids using bigger words appropriately and I know it’s just from all of the books we’ve read. Love all the books!! ❤
I would love to see your full children’s book collection in a video!
That would be so fun to make! I have almost all of them linked in my storefront but I could go in more depth in a video for sure!
Fantastic video Cara! I have always been so impressed to watch your girls absolutely flourish and I am so happy you are sharing your wealth of information with all of us. I use so many of your “tools” with my 2 year old grandson and 5 month old granddaughter and can’t wait to add some more things to my preschool prep for them! Thank you so much!
I love how much stuff you do with Quinn it is awesome. I have two kids. I was worried at first that you were only going to teach word names, but I see you teach both. Which is great!! I focused completely on lowercase and short vowel sounds. From my mom, I learned that these are the best to teach at first. Since they are used the most. I love learning what other people do, especially when I plan to homeschool my kids.
One thing that i would suggest is that baby's and even infants to not need age appropriate books. I read all sorts of books to my son when he was a baby. They just need to hear you speak! I love reading boxcar children books and other books that are not "age appropriate." I read Doctor Who to my four month old son. He didn't understand one word, but he loved it! I let my kids play while I read the book outloud. Sometimes they play sometimes they listen, but most of the time they do both.
Just a suggestion, but I highly suggest!
Looks like you’re doing a super job preparing the girls for preschool!
Hi Cara!
Thank you for sharing all this information this was such a great video ! You are such a wonderful caring Mom and I so appreciate all of your tips ! Lots of love from sunny St. Augustine 💗🌞
Great video! We had a therapist also tell us when reading books to follow the words with your finger. My 7 year old is in 1st grade... and did well with it. I am prepping my almost 5 year old for kindergarten and i have a 2 year old... great advice from your mom.
So helpful, thank you! I’m always so much more intentional with my toddler after I watch any of your videos! Haha
Aww this is so nice! Thank you, Emily!
Great video, Cara!
I love this video! I love any video you do. I have always thought you do such a great job with your babies. I love this cause I have a 2 year old son and I’ve been starting to implement things that’ll help him in preschool
I love this so much! I recently heard about “The good and the beautiful” curriculum and I think you’d love it for homeschooling!
okay.. video idea!! You have your Mom on here to share her tips and tricks, activities, or easy mundane things to incorporate teaching littles!!
You're doing an amazing job! I love watching your channel. Your parenting style really inspire me so much, my son is 22 months now and I am trying to teach him the a-b-cs (he enjoys counting things 1-2-3 more thought)
So cute!! Maybe he'll be a math whiz! ;) and thank you so much!!
Loved your video would love to know where you got your large flash cards from
Perfect channel to watch when I'm sitting at home with covid! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh nooo! I'm so sorry you're sick! Hope you can get over it quickly❤️
@@CaraJane Thank you!
Also point to the words as you’re reading. Ask questions and talk about what’s going on in the book.
This was so helpful! We are starting preschool at home for Nolan in the fall. I think is awesome that you have so many cool ideas from your mom ☺️ Quinn rhyming words is amazing!! what a little smartie 💖
That's so exciting! I hope you both love it... keep me updated ;) And yes, I love my mom's ideas! :)
Hey Cara!
Thank you for sharing this video! Quinn is so smart and learns so quickly! Bria is doing the same too! You are such a hands on, loving mama and your girls are so lucky to have you!
I admire your patience and I strive to be a good teacher to Leo, just like you!
Thank you again for sharing what works for you and your girls. I appreciate this video!
Hope all is good and well!!!
All the best,
-Clarissa 😊❤️🥰
You're the best mom for Leo! He's learning so much, too! I'm glad you liked the video!! :)
@@CaraJane ❤️❤️❤️
Will you home school through their elementary years? You do a great job teaching them

You can just talk to them about the pictures in the book not just reading.
As someone who works in a preschool I must say… Quinn is exceeding!! Skip preschool and move on to Kindergarten. Lol You are doing an awesome job. I wish more parents would put in this much effort. 🤍
