Empowering Your Team

I believe that if you want a successful Child Care Business and if you want quality, it is vital that you empower your teachers.

Teachers that are not empowered will require lots of correction and feedback. In fact, teachers that are not empowered may be an major situation waiting to happen.

On the other hand, teachers that are empowered, need very little supervision and they are empowered to provide Quality Care.

Let me ask you several questions?

1.Are your teachers empowered to implement quality care?

2. Do you have a system in place that Empowers your teachers?

No matter what your answers were, I want to share with you five ways to empower your teachers:

  1. Upon hiring your staff, be sure they are training by an experienced and appointed staff member.
  2. Follow up with the teacher until He or she has mastered their duties.
  3. Inspect what you expect. This could simply be a weekly observation of each teacher.
  4. Reward the behavior you want to see. This could be lunch on you, gift cards; etc.
  5. Issue resources that empower your team weekly and inspire staff to share with oneanother.

Happy Empowering!

5 Effective Ways To Train a New Child Care Worker

How to Train a New Child Care Worker?

Earlier this week, one of my Facebook friends sent me an inbox message and she asked me if I had a resource on Training New Staff Members.
I was glad that she asked that question, because I have several resources that will empower home providers and center owners in the arena of staff management.

However, before I share the links with you, I want to share 5 Effective Ways to Train a New Child Care Worker:

  1. Plan a new employee orientation that consists of the following: meeting co-workers, review job duties, give the new employee a tour of his or her work environment, plan time to complete tax forms; review policies and procedures,etc.
  2. On the employee’s first day; provide hands-on-training for the employee or pair the employee up with your best worker. (Modeling is a great way to train new employees)
  3. On the second day, give the employee some space to do his or her job and stay close by to answer any questions.
  4. At the end of the employee’s work week, ask the employee how did his or her week go? Get feedback and provide support!
  5. Take some time to observe the employee during the first 3 weeks of employment, because the way that an employee is trained, is how they will continue to work.
