Your Child Care Business May Not Have a Staffing Problem

You don’t have to figure out the childcare business alone. I’ve been where you are. I’ve been a family childcare provider, a center owner, a director, a leader of teams, and a multi-location owner. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve learned. I’ve expanded. I’ve had to rebuild and grow. Now I share what I’ve learned to help you build your childcare business!

I can remember when I opened my first childcare center. I was excited that the business was out of our home and in a commercial location. However, I wasn’t prepared to managed staff. In fact, struggling as a leader impacted how I selected staff and it also affected my staff turnover rate. Moreover, as I grew as a leader, my staff turnover rate began to improve, but there began to be other problems that occurred.

Once you select your staff and realize that you have a great team, it is vital that to do the following to keep the team that you have:

  1. Lead them effectively
  2. Pay them well or as some would say: ” A livable wage”
  3. Be sure that your expectations are clear
  4. Develop a good communication plan between, staff, center leaders and parents
  5. Do surveys to assess the culture
  6. Find out what is causing the team that you have to stay with you

I want to challenge you to pause, read the list above and reflect on whether or not you are doing the things listed above. If you are, feel free to share by leaving a comment below on how the steps above are benefiting your child care business.

What’s harder for you right now: finding good teachers or keeping good teachers? Let’s talk.
