MY 4AM WINTER MORNING ROUTINE | Home Daycare Provider Edition

Welcome to my 4 AM morning routine! As a home daycare provider, my morning hours are essential for setting the tone for the day. From my "morning juice" and 30-minute workouts to prepping the daycare room and walking the dogs in -27 weather, this is how I manage my life before the kids arrive at 9 AM.

The 4 AM Secret to a Successful Daycare Day! ☕️✨

Welcome back to Life with Sonja! Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my extreme 4 AM morning routine as a home daycare provider. In the world of childcare, the day starts long before the first child arrives. These quiet, early morning hours are how I prioritize my fitness, my mental health, and my business before my 9 AM arrival.

From a -27°C winter walk with my dogs to my high-protein "morning juice" and meal prep, I'm sharing the habits that keep me energized and organized. You'll also see how I manage my time as a creator, dedicating my "Monday Power Hour" to YouTube before the daycare magic begins.

In this video, you’ll see:
My 4 AM wake-up and wellness supplement "morning juice."
My 30-minute workout split (weighted vests, Pilates, and yoga).
Handling a -27°C morning walk with two dogs.
A 30g+ protein breakfast and homemade kefir.
How I set up my daycare room and morning activities.
Planning and YouTube workflow before the 9 AM arrival.
