Our mission to Protect, Educate, and Nurture children means there are certain practices we avoid at all costs. These "sins" can make a big difference in how we care for and guide our preschoolers. Here are seven Celebree no-no's you'll never see in our schools, because every child deserves the very best learning environment! 👇 1️⃣ Skipping Name-to-Face Checks – Safety first, always! Every child is accounted for to ensure they’re exactly where they should be. 2️⃣ Teacher-Led Product Art – Here, art is all about the process, not the product. By letting kids lead, we nurture their creativity and self-expression. 3️⃣ Leading with Consequences over Connection – We believe in guiding with empathy, not punishments. Let’s work together to turn hurtful behavior into helpful behavior! 4️⃣ No Gloves When Serving Food – Cleanliness is key! Gloves are always on when we’re handling anything that goes to little mouths. 5️⃣ Coloring Books – Our little artists don’t color within pre-drawn lines; they create their own! This supports originality and critical thinking. 6️⃣ Using the Safe Place as a Time-Out – Safe Places are for children to use to self-regulate if they are feeling overwhelmed in the classroom environment, not for punishment. We want every child to feel secure and supported. 7️⃣ Wearing Shoes in Infant Rooms – Clean floors = healthy babies. We leave our shoes at the door to keep infant spaces safe and spotless. These “sins” have no place at Celebree because we’re committed to an environment where kids can learn, grow, and thrive! 🙌 #sevendeadlysins #preschool #highstandards #earlyeducation #childcare #halloween

CEO of Huffman Family Brands / Founder of Celebree School / Forbes Business Council / RMHC Maryland Board Member
My entrepreneurial journey began in 1994 with the opening of my first preschool in Ellicott City, Maryland. Fast forward to today, and Huffman Family Brands now operates in 17 states, with four companies under our wing. In 2019, I expanded the Celebree School model through franchising, opening doors for entrepreneurs and educators to own their own schools. Franchising has been an incredibly rewarding chapter in my career, allowing me to collaborate with over 75 talented franchisees who share my passion for delivering quality early childhood education. This week, we celebrated the opening of our 28th franchise school in Houston, TX, which brings our total to 54 schools operating across the U.S. We also have an additional 160 schools in various stages of development, highlighting our continued growth and commitment to expanding our mission. I meet with every potential franchisee 90 days after they express interest because it’s crucial that we share the same vision and commitment to this important work. Building a franchise is not just a business venture; it’s a meaningful way to give back to the next generation. 🎙️ Want to know more about my journey?

In this post-pandemic world, parents want MORE out of their child’s preschool experience than simply academics. They want support in raising well-adjusted, emotionally aware kids who are ready for the social challenges of kindergarten just as much as the academic challenges. 🤝🧠 Kindergarten teachers agree: “We’ll teach them the academics, but being socially ready and able to manage emotions? That’s where it all starts.” At Celebree School, we believe in nurturing the whole child—academically, developmentally, socially, and emotionally—so they’re set to thrive in school and life! 🌟 Thank you CBS 17 (WNCN) for giving us the space to spread this important message. 🙏 Allison Tsomos, Richard Huffman #KindergartenReady #EmotionalIntelligence #Celebree #HolisticEducation #SocialEmotionalSkills #WholeChildGrowth
