when i first created The Nap Time Show, i had no idea it would take me to dozens of childcare centers, but it did.

doing live classroom performances centered around rest for centers was a natural extension of our work, providing trusted come-to-you programming for providers (that also helped to prepare kids to lay down and NAP 😂).

being in those classrooms and at early childhood events revealed something huge to me.

👉 the teachers.

we would walk in and see eyes that whispered “save me.” after 20–30 minutes, we’d leave those same classrooms and the teachers’ eyes now said “thank you.”

that short pocket of time gave them space to breathe. to prep. to reset. to come back better.

and that’s when it hit me: most directors aren’t truly creating classrooms that support their teachers.

not because they don’t care.

not because they’re not trying.

but because the tools available to them just aren’t built with teachers in mind.

and that’s why so many centers are struggling to attract and keep good teachers.

amazing educators walk away because they can’t sustain it in the current system.

the good news? it doesn’t have to stay this way.

when kids are engaged + calm, teachers get their time (and their energy) back.

that’s the simple shift we’re chasing with The Nap Time Show, and the big leap we’re about to scale with Fruit Snack Streams:

trusted come-to-you programming for providers, that actually supports regulation for littles.
