Children learn gratitude the same way they learn every other meaningful life skill: by watching it, feeling it, and experiencing it in real time. 🙏 Instead of teaching children to “say thank you,” we focus on modeling authentic appreciation in the small, everyday moments. When children hear gratitude spoken sincerely, their brains begin to connect kindness with positive emotion. Over time, that gentle modeling becomes a rhythm they naturally carry forward. Try simple reflections with your child, like: ✨ “I’m thankful you helped me clean up; that made the room feel so cozy.” ✨ “What a beautiful morning. I’m grateful we get to walk to school together.” ✨ “I noticed how you shared with your friend today. That was thoughtful.” These everyday expressions teach children that gratitude is so much more than 'saying thank you'...it’s a feeling rooted in connection, empathy, and awareness. When we name our gratitude out loud, children begin to understand their own gratitude. And that’s how true appreciation grows.

Every child grows in their own way, and here at Celebree, we make sure we’re tracking that growth with purpose and accuracy. Through Teaching Strategies, LLC GOLD, our teachers understand each child’s unique stage of development through ongoing, authentic observations. They are entered into GOLD, aligned with developmental objectives, and used to determine each child’s current progression level. Having this data allows us to individualize instruction, plan effective small groups, and communicate progress with families with clarity and confidence. It’s one of the tools that helps us stay intentional in supporting each child’s growth. 💚💙

🎖 Military life taught them resilience, leadership, and the power of community. Today, those same values guide Trey and Brittany Gentry as they nurture young minds at Celebree School of East Louisville. For the Gentrys, their path from active military duty to business ownership has been a natural continuation of their mission to uplift their community. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, Trey is used to jumping in wherever he’s needed. Now, he proudly takes on every role as a preschool owner—calling the time he spends rocking babies “the best two hours of [his] day.” 👶✨ For Brittany, their life as a military family taught her to create deep, lasting connections beyond blood—something that now defines the warm, welcoming culture they’ve built at their school. This Veterans Day, we’re honored to celebrate their service, their story, and the love they bring to growing people big and small. 💙 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay #LouisvilleSmallBusiness #SmallBusiness #VeteranOwned #MilitaryFamily #VeteranOwnedBusiness #Louisville

🇺🇸 This #VeteransDay, we honor the brave people who have served our nation. We’re especially proud to celebrate the veterans who have transitioned from serving their country to serving their communities through the Celebree School franchise opportunity. Veterans embody leadership, resilience, and a deep sense of mission: all qualities that make them exceptional franchise owners. Their ability to lead teams, adapt quickly, and commit fully to a purpose-driven vision naturally aligns with the values at the heart of Celebree. Today, we recognize and thank all veterans, including those in our network, for the lasting impact they make both in and out of uniform. 💙💚

Honoring service, purpose, and community this Veteran’s Day. 🇺🇸 We’re proud to spotlight Celebree School franchisees Chris and Jennifer Stine, the husband-and-wife duo behind our school in Franklin–Cool Springs, TN. Chris, a former Marine Corps Officer, and Jenny, who grew up in an Army family, have turned their shared values of service and leadership into a new mission: creating a safe, nurturing space where children can grow, learn, and thrive. 🌱 For the Stines, franchising with Celebree is a continuation of their calling to serve and a chance to invest in the next generation. From leading teams to building communities, they’re proving that the skills gained in service translate seamlessly into small business ownership. We’re honored to celebrate Jenny and Chris, and all veterans who continue to make an impact every day! 💪 Reach out to us to learn more about how you can turn your service experience into entrepreurship with Celebree School. #VeteransDay #FranchiseOwnership #Entrepreneurship #EarlyEducation
