Steps To Building a Winning Child Care Team

I have been revising my center handbooks and one of the handbooks that I am revising is my director’s handbook. As I worked on the Managing our team section of the handbook, I thought about the readers of my blog who have employees. So, this blog post is for you, and it is written with building a winning team in mind.

Creating a winning team is a vital part of  building a successful child care business and providing high quality care. In fact, a winning team starts with dynamic leadership and a great coach, The Director.

You are the coach of the team and you call all the plays. When you fail to call plays, the team does not know which way to go.

It is your role to communicate with the team on a regular basis and make sure that all the players are doing their part on the team, because what one player does not do, affects the entire team.

Teamwork is birthed

When you concentrate on

“ We” instead of “me.”

~ John Maxwell

Here’s 5 ways to Building a Winning Child CareTeam

  • Stay focused on the Big Picture…The center’s Goals.
  • Be sure that the staff members are positioned where they have the most value.
  • Inspire the staff to do better in their classrooms or work space.
  • Give the staff direction and Encouragement
  • Keep bad apples by themselves, if possible or get rid of them

Here’s to building a winning team!

Inspiration to go after what you want with a Positive mindset

A knock at my door yesterday inspired me to write this blog post. In fact, that knock at the door also inspired me to check my attitude as a leader.

Moreover, that knock at the door also inspired me to ask myself a question, Am I going after what I really want for my Child Care Business?

Some recent issues in the business had me feeling frustrated and exhausted emotionally. Some of those issues included: Unmet expectations, a recent water leak that closed the business for a few days, a teacher suddenly quitting, and this left me focused on several issues at one time.

As a childcare center owner, I know firsthand that this business can be complicated and comes with many issues sometimes. However, I have found that my attitude about a situation could make the issue seem small or BIG. Moreover, I have discovered that if I am determined to get through an issue and I’m optimistic, I am able to get the outcome that I desire.

Furthermore, I have found that having a positive mindset about getting what you want will never drain your energy. However, having a negative mindset about issues will drain your energy and leave you frustrated.

Are you facing any issues right now and you feel frustrated? Are you getting what you really want in the business of childcare? This just may be the blog post that could change the trajectory of your business and change your mindset as a Child Care Business Owner/Leader.

Yesterday, I met a woman that inspired me to go after what I want with a positive attitude, and I want to share that experience with you. Click here
