Training Your Staff To Provide a Dynamic Preschool Experience

staff trainingNext to having a Dynamic Curriculum, it is vital that you train your staff to deliver a Dynamic preschool or Child Care Program. Today I am going to share with you 5 easy ways to train your staff, so that children in your program are provided with High Quality Preschool or Child Care Experience.

1. Hire teachers that have experience and seek to hire teachers with early childhood education from an Accredited College. In fact, I believe that quality care begins with educated and trained staff.

2. Before you allow your new teachers or assistants to work in your classroom(s), Schedule a training day. At your training; give your teachers a description of your curriculum and a handbook about your classroom. If you want quality services you must have a written plan, train your staff on the plan and follow-up to see that your teachers are implementing your guidelines.

3. Require that your teachers attend workshops on curriculum development, health,safety & nutrition, Physical Environment and Parent Communication.

4. Develop an observation and mentoring plan for your teachers and provide them with resources that will empower them to become dynamic teachers.

5. Finally, Consider having weekly or monthly quality care meetings. In your meetings, it is vital that you tell your teachers how they are doing, offer them quality care tips and get their feedback.

Its time to get to work on empowering your staff! More to come…

With a Dynamic Preschool Program in mind,

How to Create a Positive Work Place

          

Being positive doesn’t just make you better. It makes everyone around you better. ~Jon Gordon

Several years ago, I decided that I wanted to create a positive place for my employees to work. In fact, having negative employees inspired me to promote more positivity in the work place. After all, I believe that children need to be around positive people!

I recently created a Code of Positivity to post in my Child Care Center and I have decided to share it with you. (click here)

Are you wondering how I created a positive work place for my employees? Take a look at the following tips below:

  1. Be Positive!  If you have a positive attitude your employees will be a reflection of your attitude.
  2. Create a No Gossip Policy. Gossip can destroy your business and it brings down the moral. So never Gossip with your employees and don’t allow them to gossip in your Business.
  3. Talk Positive. At my monthly team meetings, the team is required to say 2-3 positive things about each other and at the end of our meetings, the energy level is exciting!
  4. Model friendliness. People love to do business with friendly people. Smile at your employees and smile when you greet your parents. You will be amazed at how being positive will brighten up your Work Place.

Several hours before writing this blog post, a parent stopped by my Child Care Center for a tour. She told me this: “I love this place; its clean, and everyone is friendly.”  See…I told you! People love to do business with friendly people.

To your Success!
