Those were the words I needed to hear as I faced my son’s first day of childcare. The mum guilt, the what-ifs, the ache of letting go—it all felt overwhelming. So, just days before that big moment, as we sat in his playroom scribbling on some paper, I started writing. Before I knew it, I had a poem—a message of comfort, not from me to him, but from him to me.

That moment became the heart of My First Day.

The first day of daycare felt like a heartbreak I wasn’t ready for. After months at home together, the transition back to work came with a mix of emotions—excitement, worry, and a whole lot of mum guilt.

Now, My First Day is here to support parents, children, and daycare educators with thoughtful, practical essentials that make the hard days just a little easier.

Making the hard days easy—one first day at a time.
