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!

Child Care Business Owner Institute Celebrates 16 years Online!

The Child Care Business Owner Blog celebrates 16 years online!

I started this blog in May 2010, because I was inspired to teach what I’ve learned as a child care provider. IZn fact, 16 years ago I had lots of questions about how to operare a childcare center and there were very few resources online.

So, I decided to blog about the businesss of childcare. Owning a childcare business can be challenging at times and this is why I love to share from my challenges and successes in the business of childcare.

Shortly before publishing this blog, my childcare business mentor ( Mary Krogmeir) said to me, you should be teaching others what you know. I thought she was out of her mind because I was so frustrated as a leader at that time. Perhaps I was frustrated because it was time for another level and she saw it.

My journey as a Family home childcare provider, a Center Owner & Director and managing multiple locations has been an inspiration for the Child Care Business Owner Institute.

Furthermore, over the years, I’ve coached many home providers and center owners through their business challenges, start- ups and expansions. Moreover, It is truly an honor when a childcare provider contacts me to be their business coach. In fact, when the readers of my blog contact me for coaching, I’m reminded that childcare business owners want a coach who has been where they want to go!

I pray that you hang in there and keep moving forward by Faith. As a Wise woman once told me, there are children who need your gift!

I would love to hear from you! If this blog has inspired you in any way, please tell me how this blog has inspired you, by leaving a comment below.

Here’s to a Successful childcare business!
