The Director's Club

Episode #20 of Season 2 focuses on IMPLEMENTING professional development.  We all have the requirement to take professional development each year but do we always implement it?

We get these amazing little tidbits of ideas or systems to put in place.  Then we head back to our child care center, energized to move forward with it.  Then we get caught up in the day to day and that training sits on the shelf.   Listen to Episode #20 to help you FINALLY put all that professional development into action!

Wooohoooo!  Welcome to Season #2 of The Director's Club podcast!

In our first episode of the season, we help you kick off 2022 with professional development and building your team!  We all have to take professional development each year. I find it beneficial to the team, center, and individuals if some of our professional development is done together.

When we all get on the same page with philosophy and process, we have a common goal to work towards together.

It not only benefits the center. It benefits the entire team. They can set and meet goals individually to learn a new skill. Together, we can celebrate successes, brainstorm when things aren’t working, and support one another. When we have implemented something new as a team we are more committed to being consistent with it as well.

As leaders, we must find ways to bring our team together towards common goals. It increases retention of our team and overall happiness working at your center.  This episode will help you do just that with a plan that is simple to implement.

In Episode #15, I talk through how to set up a Drop-In Care program for your child care center.   Offering a drop-in program, allows you to increase your revenue without adding new enrollment.   You can create a world class drop in care program that will help you build enrollment for years to come AND extra revenue!

In Episode #12, Collecting Tuition, I share the process I've been using at my child care center for 17 years.  One of the biggest stumbling blocks in collecting tuition is communication.

In this episode, I will walk you through ways to help you move past the difficulty of asking and feel more confident in collecting the tuition to support your child care center.

In Episode #11, Get Different, I will share a new book I'm reading by Michael Michalowicz and how I'm applying his marketing techniques to child care.

Are you needing to build enrollment or your waiting list?  The best way to do this is to stand out from your competitors by showing up and being different.  Listen to this week's podcast to help you do just that!

In Episode #10, The Monday Morning Meeting, we will discuss the administrative process we use to complete our goals.  Do you want to add something new to your center?  Fix something?  Get more on top of things?  Have the whole team achieve a big goal?  Just have a less stressful week?

Whatever your goals are, the Monday Morning Meeting, will help you and your team get things done!  This is a great tool to use with yourself, small teams, and multi-location child care centers.

In Episode #9, Interviews That Wow, will help you hire your next great teacher!  You know when you meet that amazing potential candidate and you want to hire her on the spot?  Guess what, I bet the other centers she is interviewing do too!

In this episode I will show you how to market your child care center to this potential candidate so when you make the offer she chooses your center and not another.

In Episode #8 I walk you through how to complete a Revenue & Expense forecast for your child care center.  Boring? Maybe.  Needed, you bet!  You have a plan for curriculum you need a plan for your money.  Even if you don't understand any financial information I'll explain it, and show you, how easy it is and WHY you need to start looking at it.
