Your Child Care Business Will Only Rise to Your Leadership Abilities

20 years I opened my 1st child care center and I struggled with managing staff and I struggled with keeping staff. After a talk with a trusted leader, I waa inspired to read John Maxwell books. 21 years later, I’m still reading John Maxwell books and growing as a leader.

Let me ask you a question? Are you happy with where you are on your business Journey? If not, perhaps it’s time to develop the leader within. I have found that I am inspired when I’m reading leadership books and learning new things.

In fact, I’ve learned that as you grow as a leader, your business grows. So today, I want to inspire you to read a leadership book that inspires you to grow. This month, I’m reading 21 indispensable qualities of a leader with my leadership team, and I wanted to inspire you to keep growing as a leader!

In my new book, The Business of Childcare, I share my Journey as a leader and the benefits of developing the leader within. Click here to order your copy.

Empowering Your Team

I believe that if you want a successful Child Care Business and if you want quality, it is vital that you empower your teachers.

Teachers that are not empowered will require lots of correction and feedback. In fact, teachers that are not empowered may be an major situation waiting to happen.

On the other hand, teachers that are empowered, need very little supervision and they are empowered to provide Quality Care.

Let me ask you several questions?

1.Are your teachers empowered to implement quality care?

2. Do you have a system in place that Empowers your teachers?

No matter what your answers were, I want to share with you five ways to empower your teachers:

  1. Upon hiring your staff, be sure they are training by an experienced and appointed staff member.
  2. Follow up with the teacher until He or she has mastered their duties.
  3. Inspect what you expect. This could simply be a weekly observation of each teacher.
  4. Reward the behavior you want to see. This could be lunch on you, gift cards; etc.
  5. Issue resources that empower your team weekly and inspire staff to share with oneanother.

Happy Empowering!
