Keep Growing and Keep Evolving

I thought I would use this fun photo of my grandson in our pre-k room having fun to inspire you to get excited about taking your childcare business to another level in 2022.

As I Logged onto Facebook this morning, I noticed that that name of Facebook has changed. I also noticed that I no longer had to log onto Instagram to post a photo onto my Facebook page. I loved the fact that I could post onto my Instagram page from Facebook.

Furthermore, as I reflected on the changes, I was inspired to record a podcast and write this blog post.

In fact, I was reminded that nothing stays the same and if you want your business to keep thriving and evolving, it is vital that you keep doing new things in your business. Let me ask you a question? Have you done anything new in your business this year so far? Do you plan to do anything new? Have you developed a growth or improvement plan?

Today I want to inspire you to keep doing new things in your business, because a business that is always growing and evolving is a successful business. A business that stays the same, will eventually be stuck and left behind, while other businesses are moving forward.

Here are some examples of new things that that you can do to cause your business to grow and evolve:

  • Make over your logo.
  • Add a fresh paint color to your walls.
  • Buy a new logo mat for the front entry way.
  • order new uniform shirts for your staff
  • Increase your rates so that you can afford to pay a higher salary and attract more qualified applicants.
  • Makeover your office.
  • Make over your playground
  • Make over your website
  • If you desire to expand, start working on it now.
  • Add extracurricular activities for your preschoolers.
  • Advertise with a new platform to increase your business exposure.

I think you get the point, keep growing and doing new things. If you keep doing things the same old way, you will keep getting the same results!

With your Success in mind,

Quality Begins with Your Staff

“Quality Care begins with a Trained and Educated Staff”

Quality care begins with empowering your staff to implement quality practices in your classrooms. In fact, I have found that if you want a quality program, you must hire trained and skilled child-care workers that are willing to provide quality services to young children.

During this pandemic, it has been a challenge for most child care programs to find experienced and trained child care workers. For some reason it seems like most of the experienced child care workers have either left the field or they are taking a break.

Furthermore, until this pandemic pass, many childcare programs have no choice but to hire inexperienced workers and train them to implement quality or best practices in their childcare settings.

Just in case you are wondering, how will I hold regular quality care meetings? I’m glad that you asked.

Every week in my childcare centers, our directors meet with the staff for 15-20 minutes and they discuss ways to implement quality practices in our classrooms and I must say that holding weekly quality care meetings has helped to assure that our teachers are implementing quality practices.

Quality Care Meeting topics can include:

  1. Classroom management
  2. Health & safety practices
  3. Developmentally appropriate practices
  4. Parent feedback
  5. Camera observations and so much more.

Holding quality care meetings is a great way to bring your team together once a week and a great way to share your vision for providing quality care with your team.

To be sure that your meetings are productive and empowering, keep it short and to the point!

Are you inspired to hold weekly quality care meetings? Do you already hold quality care meetings? If so, please feel free to share how holding quality care meetings has improved the quality of care in your family home childcare business or center (s).

Researchers have found that the quality of childcare is important to the 

cognitive, language and social development of young children,

with consistent and emotionally supportive care being hugely beneficial to children and families.

With Quality care in Mind.
