Making Tough Business Decisions During The Coronovirus Pandemic

Childcare care center- ahec.edu

As I consulted with one of my coaching clients the day before I wrote this post, I was reminded that Child Care Providers all over the world are faced with making lots of decisions that will have a major impact on the lives of families, including:

  • Deciding whether or not to open or close their business.
  • Staffing challenges because some teachers are concerned about catching the Coronovirus.
  • Families may unenroll their children if you close your business
  • Some families are working from home and your enrollment is low

I’m aware that there may be other situations that I may have not included , however, I just wanted to take the time today to say this: Do whatever is best for those families that you serve.

As a Center Owner, I decided to leave my center Open for those families that need our services and my staff are happy that we are open. The parents that work from home, stay in touch with us and I use social media to inspire and inform our families.

Most of all, if you choose to stay open during this Coronovirus  pandemic, be sure to do all that you can to prevent the spread of germs including:

  • Checking temperatures upon arrival
  • Having children to wash hands upon arrival
  • Limiting access to only allowing parents to pick up their children.
  • Requiring everyone that enters your home or center to wash hands upon arrival.
  • Sanitize/ Disinfect all surfaces touched by kids, parents and staff daily.
  • Do not allow sick children, parents or staff to enter your home or center.

Furthermore,  this Caronovirus Pandemic has truly revealed the fact that Child Care Providers are truly needed.

In fact, our first Responders, Nurses, Doctors, Business Owners, Grocery Store workers and many other professionals depend on us right now.

Thank you for all that you do for Young Children and their Families.

Much Success to you!

Be Intentional About Taking Care of You

1378884_10203583732824100_1697272836321419097_nIn my 18 years of being a Child Care Provider, I can honestly say that I have not always taken care of me. In fact, I have taken great care of my business and neglected my own body.

On December 31, 2016, I began to have chronic back pain. Several days later, I could barely get out of the bed. I began to wonder, what is going on. So, I went to see a chiropractor and after a back X ray; the results indicated that I had arthritis in my lower back.

I was devastated to hear that news and at the same time, I knew that I had to take better care of my body and stop stressing about small stuff.

Since that diagnosis, I did some reflecting on my top priorities and I took some time off to rest. Moreover, the back pain that I was experiencing caused me to reflect on how I wanted to operate my business going forward.

Furthermore, I created a self-care plan that has resulted in me being fully energized and back to my normal self.

Today I am going to share with you 5 ways to take better care of you, because if you do not take care of you; you will not be able to experience the joy that comes from operating your very own business.

  1. Develop a relaxation schedule. Find some time daily where you sit and do nothing. Relaxation, helps to calm the mind. The more relaxed that you are, the more creative you will be.
  2. Save some energy for your family. When you give all your energy to your business, there is none left for your family. You know when you have used too much energy, because you are exhausted at the end of the day. So, choose what situations you give your energy to and save some energy for your family.
  3. Plan to have some Pamper Me days. Pamper me days could consist of: Spa days, manicures, pedicures, a weekend vacation, etc. I promise that after your pamper me days that you will feel refreshed and more energized.
  4. Eat foods that are healthy for your body. A healthy diet will provide you with the energy that you need to run a demanding Child Care Business.
  5. Move your Body! My chiropractor told me that the best way to fight arthritis is to move my body. When you walk or move your body more, it is great for your joints and your mind. If you feel sluggish or tired, go for a walk and feel the energy that comes from movement!

I hope that this post has inspired you to take better care of you. In fact, I believe that if you take care of you, that you will have more stamina, an energized mind and you will feel great.

So take care of you, so that you can take care of your Business!
