Mornings can feel like a high-stakes juggling act—packing lunches, finding shoes, signing permission slips, and somehow getting everyone out the door on time. In this episode, our guests are Karyn Vickery, director of academic support at Wesleyan School, and Ellen Hill, director of community engagement at the Schenck School .

We’ll dive into the chaos of school-day mornings, what makes mornings so challenging to begin with, and practical tips to help families build smoother routines, reduce stress, and even find a little joy in the rush.
