Ways to boost morale with kids: Fun handshakes, morning greetings and songs, a chart where they get to pick a greeting (a smile, hug, handshake, etc.), and just listening to their stories and asking about their day is a great way to engage! Preschoolers are always happy to feel loved and be given attention, they want to know that they matter! -Haley Lovins

You can do many different things with this. How you greet them, in a fun exciting way. Giving hugs for compassion. Encouraging words when you see their struggling with something. Connecting with the families will also help. Having family nights at the school, getting to know one another. Also acknowledging your coworker's good work as well. Also seen where the director has a cart and the teacher and next week assistant gets to get a snack and drink off it, or two items, sometimes They'd have like ChapStick or fuzzy sock or some other self-care items on it. Just to show they appreciate your work.

I have this pad of paper and will write notes to staff that are doing great. I want to let them know that I see the wonderful things they are doing even though I may not say it all the time. Adults just like students like and need positive reinforcement.

# data[].attributes.body
Give a co-worker a card with a note of encouragement. This can be a thank you for something they did or just acknowledging their hard work and letting them know you appreciate them. Also, if you know of a personal life event a co-worker may be going through you can encourage and support them through it. Just knowing that someone it thinking of you and takes the time to write a note is a great morale boost!

# data[].attributes.body
The #1 way to do this is by being excited to see your students! Some of them don’t have the best support at home so we need to let them know we are so happy to have them in our classes and can’t wait to learn with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I have my staff fill this out when they are first hired. I follow the motto "surprise & delight". I use HAND WRITTEN thank you cards including some of their favorites - the amount of money spent depends on the occasion / their performance. It takes the guessing game out of how to get them something they like.

# data[].attributes.body
I would mostly do a couple of those things with the kids and the staff because not everything has to be with them but can teach them that way they can do better in and out of school and help them be a better human being when they get older. I would change things up to help the kids get interested in it all.

# data[].attributes.body
A great way to keep kids happy is to allow them to express there feelings. Kids shouldn't be punished for expressing there feelings. Kids need to have positive compliments to them. They shouldn't be bullied for them telling you there feelings. Team bonding with students is a great way to show the students you care about there feelings

# data[].attributes.body
Team bonding can boost morale in the workplace! When we did a team bonding exercise after the first week of the daycare being open,it relieved some of the stress and our boss told us how well we were doing.

# data[].attributes.body
A great way to keep the kids happy/ get them in a happy mood is just to be excited when you see them and through out the day give them compliments and stay positive. Kids need positive reinforcement just like adults do.

STAFF MORALE BOOSTERS

1. After-hours social — Organize a monthly after hours social at a local restaurant or bar. Consider offering a free appetizer to encourage people who don’t normally attend after-hours events to come.

2. Catered lunches from principal — Yep, if the principal ponies up some money for a free lunch, teachers love it. It’s a no-brainer and it builds goodwill. It doesn’t have to happen that often. But if it happens even once a year, it’s a nice way to show staff they are appreciated.

3. Compliments from coworkers — Supporting other coworkers is a great way to build up a team. During a staff meeting, give everyone a slip of paper. Then ask them to fill it out with compliments for a teacher — and then put them into the teachers’ mailboxes. I’ve seen “drops” that are meant to fill everyone’s bucket, but heart-shaped would be great too. There’s nothing like getting a sweet compliment on a rough day!

4. Bagel breakfasts on Fridays — One Friday a month have administration bring in bagels or some kind of breakfast for staff. It’s nice to not have to worry about eating breakfast at home on a Friday morning. People take one Friday each for the entire school year and bring in bagels. When it was my turn, the speech team doubled up. We did a build-your-own yogurt parfait station during Better Hearing and Speech Month. Be creative — staff eats it up, literally!

5. Super charged social committee — Super charge your social committee by doing special things for the teachers at least monthly. Recruit new members! And make sure they collect dues so that you have a budget.

6. Secret Santa — Don’t forget to have a secret Santa around Christmas-time — turn it into a fun party and try opening presents in front of the other teachers after school. Try a white elephant party for even more laughs!

7. Surprises in the mailboxes — Monthly mailbox treats (like office supplies or candy) and birthday recognition makes staff feel special and remembered.

8. Getting t-shirts for the staff — T-shirts for the staff and having designated days to wear them? So fun. I worked for many years at a school that never offered spirit wear and I thought it was kind of sad. Nothing like having the staff all wear the same t-shirts to feel like you are part of something!

9. Raffles and giveaways — Monthly raffles for prizes or fun giveaways in the teachers lounge make staff feel like it’s a party everyday at work! Prizes can books, office supplies, kitchen tools, $5 Starbucks giftcards — all are fun little treats!

10. School team in community 5K walk — Organizing a team from the school to participate

11. Snacks at meetings — Bring snacks to staff meetings. It’s simple and staff love nibbling during meetings.

12. Birthday cards — Don’t forget people’s birthdays. A simple card in the mailbox makes a person feel appreciated.

13. Potluck lunches from staff — Potluck lunches are just fun. Yes, you do have to make (or buy) something to contribute, but what you get in return is a yummy spread.

14. Redecorate the teachers’ bathrooms and lounge area — There’s nothing like always having to use a bathroom that has little bitty flies all over the place or peeling paint on the walls. Nothing like a fresh coat of paint and a couple cute accessories to spruce up the common spaces of the school.

15. “Superhero of the month” bulletin board — Don’t forget to recognize your staff and their hard work at school by having a bulletin board. And make sure to include not just the “favorites” but those unsung heroes that don’t get featured very frequently.

# data[].attributes.body
some ways you can boost morales/moods at school is allowing children to express how they feel. what i have always loved is when teachers place a box that allows children to express their feelings or when children need to say something but want to say it anonymously, or when children just need someone to talk to but they dont have the courage to speak up in person, it allows them to step up and say something without having to say anything. children can write what they need or how they feel on a piece of paper and put it in the box for the teacher to read.

# data[].attributes.body
You can just be positive to your students each and every day. When they do something good make sure that you take the time to tell them and maybe give them
something.

As I am still in training to someday work in a daycare or a boys-and-girls club, these are the morale boosters one must practice when around young children:
1. hugs
2. eye level
3. high-fives and fist bumps (the Baymax fist bump from Disney's "Big Hero Six")
4. listening
5. advicing
6. one-on-one time activity
7. reading during a quiet time
8. words of encouragement
9. sing songs
10. telling jokes (school appropriate jokes)
For example, to maintain eye contact with a child, I kneel down to their eye level when speaking to them. This is to let the child know that they are not being talked down to by their adult friend.

# data[].attributes.body
During morning circle we always say positive affirmations to our students. We Use "I am" or " I Can". We speak positive to our students throughout the day and if they are having a rough day we give them lots of hugs and love and we say positive affirmations with them. We also listen to their problems and remind them their feelings are valid and they are entitled to feel how they want to feel.

# data[].attributes.body
making kids feel proud of themselves and letting them know they are loved is easy, if you are sincere and let them know every day in some way, they are so special. We give good morning hugs, we sing songs, we celebrate each other every day. Such an easy thing to do to with such an amazing progress.

ECE-087
Padlet- BOOST MORALE/ MOODS
Mya Garcia

There are many different way I personally love to boost morale, and moods throughout our school days.

Here are just a few examples below:

1. Hugs- For compassion & comfort

2. High-fives, & knuckle bumps- to give them affirmation of their successes

3. Eye level conversations- allowing them to know they are equal and not lesser valued than yourself.

4. Eye contact while in conversation- This builds trust and allows them to know you care about what they speak.

5. Listening with positive body language- This show as a child that their words and stories are valued and heard by you, which reassures comfort and a sense of belonging.

And also a big thing I value the most with one of our very first everyday daily class morning routines would be our rise and shine song! Then afterwards we allow the students to go around our circle saying greeting to each other one students at a time to show how valued all of their peer are. It teaches patients, responsible, accountability, as well as respect for one another!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to do something a little different. I have lots of ideas to boost morale inside the classroom, but I think it is also important to build morale outside the classroom with the families. We have Family Connection Nights where all the families are invited out (usually 5pm-6pm) and we create fun activities like tye dying, ballon making, games with prizes, etc. This is a great way to connect with the children and their families. As educators, I feel that sometimes we don’t get enough time to get to know the parents/families. Family Connection Nights are a favorite here at Head Start.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive reinforcement, in the form of praise or rewards, can be the most effective way to change a child’s behavior. When a great idea comes up or when someone does something great, acknowledge them as anindividual. Ask early childhood educators to make children do something good to encourage desiredbehaviors.

# data[].attributes.body
Even when frustrated don't show it to children they will thrive off that and it honestly makes your day worse. Always use positive reinforcement and help children in calm ways even when you are overwhelmed.

I think it is important to celebrate successes as well as meet a teacher’s personal needs or wants. This is what I expect and need in an environment and is what I gratefully get when it is necessary from my director. Since starting where I am now, I have been asked to do quite a few personal tasks such as getting qualifications, certificates, and taking a course here or there. I have also been promoted, gotten raises, as well as praised upon completion of these. I don’t personally need a big celebration, but for what I have accomplished, to be noticed and praised, means a lot. Teachers’ personal needs are met in many ways such as getting coffee from our director after a long week or a special group lunch when helping to complete a lengthy task for the school. Sometimes it means getting off early one day that week. It’s the small things that matter most. Feeling appreciated, wanted, or needed.

You can make an inspirational board that has word and quotes on it that can make teacher and children feel great about themselves.

I saw someone post this previously but I really love the idea of giving out little gifts as appreciation.  it could be a pen, a soda, a snack, just anything that lets the teachers know you see them and you appreciate them.  another thing teachers might like is extended PTO or maybe a gift card for gas :)

The 5th method is don't forget the small things. We have a small staff and I have ran 3 Dairy Queens-FOOD!!! Listen to what they say so you know what they like. If its been a hard week, grab some coffee or donuts before heading in. A small piece of chocolate can be what someone needs on break. Letting them know they are appreciated and celebrating small wins. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture each time. Those still need to happen but may not be feasible on a regular basis.

I think providing lunch for the staff or even small treats randomly for the staff helps out a lot! I believe it is important to recognize your staff when there is something big happening! Lately a lot of us have been struggling with the pandemic so something like this can easily take some stress off of the staff, letting them know that they are appreciated during the hard and trying times! This flier is from the previous luncheon that was provided to my co-workers and I from our board of directors.

# data[].attributes.body
A way I would show appreciation to my teachers is small lunch gatherings. I feel like it is important to recognize your staff when it is their birthday or big anniversaries like a year mark. Small lunches can also include gifts that you all go in on or just time spent together.

# data[].attributes.body
showing appreciation to a teacher is so incredibly important, not only does it put a smile of their face and make them feel appreciated, but they are also usually super stressed out 90% of the time. being a teacher is hard and very time consuming, but also super worth it. just giving teacher a little basket, card, or gift, or any other idea will make their day, maybe their week.

# data[].attributes.body
You fill a cart full of all of your staff's favorite snacks and drinks and decorate it however you want. Then you can decorate it however you want and take it around to all of your employees and they can't take what they want. This is a little gift to show them how much they are apricated and it can bring a little sunshine in their day.

Boosting Morale is very important because it lets the teachers feel seen by the parents and directors and feel appreciated. Where I work our director handed out little gift for each teacher everyday for that week, she also put out papers on our door each day for that week, showing a picture or a saying on it of how much they appreciate us, also some of the parents will bring in a gift as well. It makes the teacher feel good and feel seen. This picture I have is an idea that my daughter and I do for her teachers. We do it together and she will bring it in for them (: its not easy being a teacher and We appreciate everything they do for our children.

I think it would be super fun for a teacher to get a week full of appreciation from the students or from the other teachers, or even parents of the student.

To boose morale I would do a teacher of the week feature board I couldn't find a picture but I would tell about the teacher, have a picture of the teacher, and the tell what grade the teacher teaches.

Alex P-boosting morale is very important because it lets the teachers feel seen and appreciated. I personally would do a pot luck on the last Friday of every month, on mondays I would bring the staff donuts and milk for breakfast and every holiday (like Valentine’s Day coming up) I would give them a gift bag and a gift card. Boosting morale is also important because the teachers are what keeps the education alive and the knowledge passes down, and we should applaud them for doing so.

Boosting morale is very important to your teachers. This makes the teacher feel like they are actually appreciated by the director or principle and the parents. Every year, Carla hands out a little gift for teacher appreciation week but the parents also give us gifts and this is just one the few ideas that the parents have given us.

I made this on my word and printed it out this is example I would want hanging up on the wall of our daily routine and would look at it go through what we are doing today. like at 230 books tell them what book we are reading or like quiet activity go through what activity we are doing today.

Boosting morale and making teachers feel appreciated is so extremely important. One way you could do this is by having a teachers award ceremony. The administration can hand out awards silly or serious to their teachers at a dinner hosted by the administration. Another way to make your teachers feel appreciated is by giving simple gifts. Coffee or a caffeinated drink half way through the day for a pick me up, lotion, some candy, or you could use the idea of the picture I posted below. The simplest way to make your teachers feel appreciated though is to listen. Listen to your teachers struggles, suggestions, or questions, and do not brush them off.

# data[].attributes.headline
a couple of ways you can boost morale is by praising your teachers for how well they are doing, so maybe every friday buy them all donuts and milk. hold fun monthly team building with small prizes and a pot luck. you want them to feel appreciated and have fun while getting closer to the other employees but also when it comes to monthly meetings I think it is important to ask every staff member on their ideas or opinions, it is important that they also feel understood.

Something fun that we can do that will make a teacher happy or even hand them out to your students is a little themes treat bag. It would should how much we care about them and you can fill it with any thing that they like are you make. then write a little not on the front of it then tie with a bow. That would make anybody day.

# data[].attributes.body
It is SO important for teachers to feel understood and as if they are appreciated. I know that, little things like this to walk into in the morning or after a long day is super helpful. It not only lets you know that your coworkers/boss are thinking about you but it also can add a little bit of humor to the situation as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a great way to boost morale would be to always make the staff feel appreciated. A big way to do this is to reward the staff with vacation time or personal days. I also think it is a great idea to give out staff goodies like once a week. Maybe a candy bar with a cute message.

# data[].attributes.body
One way to boost morale would be to maybe have some fun and funny things in a basket. For example my mom is a kindergarten teacher and always loves to get cute or funny things to get her through the day. Always likes getting gift cards for food or sweets.

One way to boost morale would be to make sure teachers and staff have a fun night out once a month. Maybe a nice dinner to go to or a fun bowling game of some sorts. Another way is to offer paid vacation days. This way employees can have fun with their families as well!!!

When working in a daycare center or a school getting it can be more stressful than others. When employees get stressed out they tend to quit, so we need to make sure that their needs are being met too. One good way to this is taking employees out on an outing. This could be anything going out to dinner, going on a weekend trip, taking the day and have fun activities going on throughout the day.

# data[].attributes.body
Giving staff paid days off such as sick time, vacation time, and personal days can really give them time to relax, refresh, and recharge and as a results come back to work feeling better than ever. Sometimes work can be overwhelming when you have certain things happening in your home or family life and sometimes the best thing to do is just take some time off. It feels good when you know that your job supports you in your decision and wants you to come back better than ever! Mental and emotional health is especially important to uphold while working with preschoolers!

# data[].attributes.body
I saw this idea at work. One of the teachers at the daycare had gotten a pencil with her name on it and she loves it. The family had actually made the sign themselves. I think this is a neat idea because we are able to hang the sign in the classroom.

Making sure teachers feel good is very important but what is equally as important is the way our students feel and the bond we share with them. This bulletin board gives the students and teacher an opportunity to praise each other and set a positive bonding vibe for the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Making sure our teachers know that the parents care is so important. Teachers deal with so much people don't even see. Doing small things to let them know how much they are appreciated. Last year I did small things for my daughter's teacher every so often. I would take her Starbucks, one day I stopped and got her a huge piece of chocolate pie, or left her notes thanking her for everything she did and several other things. Some times I would just send her an email telling her what a great job she does and asked if she needed help with anything. She loved having small things done for her to say thank you. She was so excited and happy when I took things. The small things really do help with morale.

# data[].attributes.body
Placed in a prominent location where parents can see it. Create a wall  to display information about the teachers. recognizing any educational awards they've received, any additional certificates earned, or any other achievement including a short description and timeline of how they have contributed to  the program. You can add to their accomplishments as they keep succeeding. this not only tells the employee you appreciate all they've done, it informs the parents that their child's teacher is outstanding in a multitude of ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the simplicity of a nice note. It's cheap and it shows the person that you are thinking about them. I know teachers can get overwhelmed with their job and students so I think it would be nice to get some of the kids in their class to write things they like about their teacher on a sticky note.

# data[].attributes.body
It is so important to recognize your teacher's, aide's, all staff members. If we keep encouraging one another then it just makes the days go by so much smoother. It makes our hard days easier. You don't have to spend a lot of money in order to tell someone you appreciate them.

# data[].attributes.body
Boosting Moral is Important an any job especially in a daycare center. This makes sure that your employees feel appreciated and that they are doing a great job. We had a team meeting a couple moths ago about this and we had a few different ideas on how to make our employees feel appreciated. The first one is to surprise them with gift; place a gift in their room the night before, so in the morning they will receive. This will start the day off on a positive note. The second idea that we fame up with is we have notepads that say Kudos to you. We write the employees name down and check the boxes of what they did to go out of their for a child or their class.

This is such a cute teacher appreciation idea. You could just about anything that smells good: candle, soap, lotion, candy, etc. It would be so nice to receive something like this. I know my day would be made!

I really like this quote it is one of my favorites. It is so true, and every teacher would love to receive it, and it will remind them on their days they are struggling why they are important, and why they love their job. You could put the quote on a cup, coffee mug, poster, or on anything you think the teachers would love!

I really like this idea. It gives great positive feedback to the teacher making them feel good about them self’s getting a kind hearted note. It also is awesome for teacher because 1. Who doesn’t love coffee and 2. It can keep them awake if they had a long night of grading. :)

I think sending little notes to staff at random times would mean a lot. Most people do not feel like they are doing good or are getting discouraged often. By sending a note of positivity you are letting them know they are doing great and your there if they need anything.

I really like this idea because teachers dont get noticed for everything they do and I feel we are under appreciated I think if we let each other know how appreciative and things that we see that are good. It will make us feel a lot more appreciated - Madison Quast

I like the idea of shouting out certain things to eachother. It could be anything from helping a student do homework and spend extra time with them to a lesson plan you had and someone else liked. This makes you feel like your not going unnoticed and your doing a great job even when the stress gets real!

I've always liked the idea of taking a chance. With this all you do is write/put something into an envelope and pin it to a bulletin board. Then when someone needs a boost they can just grab an envelope and be surprised!

This concept applies to all year including Teacher Appreciation Week. As the poem states, fill this box with cards and notes that can be retrieved when the staff need a pick me up and are feeling like being in the work of childcare is too much. Reminders of why we do the amazing work we do is always an awesometo have!

This is something that could be given out once a month and can be tailored to each teacher. It can include things like candy, medicine, snacks, positive notes, a stress ball etc. I think this is an idea that can get staff excited each month along with helping during stressful times in the classroom. Since they are personalized, it shows upper management really knows their staff and the things they enjoy.

Here is a cute bulletin board idea with Minions. There can also be a positive saying on each Minion to describe each teacher.

When caught good I would give them a no homework pass, so they don't have to work so hard because they were caught being good!

Celebrate all of those fabulous teachers with a jar of sunshine! Make a jar full of small. bright, and yellow things to help brighten their day and let them know how much they help you shine.
