Introducing the Monday Child Care Business Boost

Running a child care business brings many daily responsibilities and challenges. During my 27 years as a child care business owner, I have read hundreds of books, attended countless training sessions, followed inspiring leaders, invested in business coaching, and drawn encouragement from people who had already achieved what I hoped to accomplish.

I know firsthand how important it is to stay inspired and motivated as you start, grow, and lead in your childcare business. That is why I have been inspired to send you a Child Care Business Boost every Monday—to encourage you to keep building the business of your dreams.

I’ve made the mistakes. I’ve learned the lessons. I’ve built the businesses. Now I want to help you build yours!

The subscribers of my blog will start receiving a weekly Monday Child Care Business Boost! In fact, as a subscriber of the Child Care Business Owner blog, you will receive a weekly Business Booster every Monday!

If you are already a subscriber, you don’t need to take any action, just look for your Monday Business Boost beginning on Monday October 19, 2026.

If you are seeing this post on social media or on my blog, simply subscribe to the Child Care Business Owner Weekly (by simply clicking the subscribe button on the right-hand corner of the Child Care Business Owner Institute blog) and you’re in!

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!
