Setting Goals Will Bring Life To Your Business

As I write this blog post, I am in my bed preparing for my upcoming leadership meeting with my center directors. Every week we read a book or an article that inspires us all to Grow. This week’s article is an excert from a book that we are reading titled, The art of Leading by The Child Care Exchange.

The article that we are reading asks the question, Are you operating a Center or a Organization? Also, the article inspired me to delegate more and inspired me to consider setting a 5 year plan for my center.

At the beginning of 2024, I celebrated 25 years in business. In fact, I began to reflect on whether or not we have reached our peak or if we should still be building or not.

After reading that article mentioned above, and writing a 5 year plan for my center, I’m reminded that goal setting will bring life to your business.

Furthermore, As I wrote the 5 year plan for my Atlanta location, I literally felt life go back into the business!

When you’ve operated a business for over 20 years, you can easily get bored and lose vision. However, I want to inspire you to create a 5 year plan for your childcare business and bring life to your business again!

Feel free to share how this blog post inspired you!

5 Online Resources that Promote Responsive and Supportive Care for Infant/Toddlers

 

As I conclude this month’s theme on providing quality care for infant and toddlers, I was debating on how I wanted to end the theme. Caring for infant/toddlers can be very challenging and I believe that infant/toddler educators need plenty of resources to empower them to meet the needs of the young children in their care.

So, I decided to browse the internet to look for great infant/toddler resources and here are the five programs, websites and organizations that I found to share with you today.

1. Zero to Three National Centers for Infant/Toddlers and Families

ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Zero to Three also provides numerous resources that support the healthy development and well-being of infants, toddlers, and their families. Its policy is a vehicle for professionals to use their knowledge and expertise to affect public policy.

Visit their website http://www.zerotothree.org/ 

2. Resources for Infant Educarers

(REI) has a unique approach based on respect that helps raise infants who are competent, confident, curious, attentive, exploring, and more. www.rie.org

3.  BrainWonders  

Brain Wonders is designed to provide parents, caregivers, and pediatric and family clinicians with meaningful information about early brain development and the relationships between babies and their parents and caregivers that support intellectual and social-emotional development.  Visit their website www.zerotothree.org/brainwonders

4. Better Brains for Babies 

Better brains for babies is a collaboration of state and local public and private organizations dedicated to promoting awareness and education about the importance of early brain development in the healthy growth and development of infants and young children in Georgia. www.fcs.uga.edu/ext/bbb/index.php

5. PITC, The Program for Infant/Toddler Care

I wish you much success with your infant/toddler program. Feel free to share your thoughts about the infant/toddlers post that were shared this month.
