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!

Motivating Your Staff with Positive Notes

My Center Director and Assistant Director are reading a Book titled For by Jeff Henderson. The forward is written by one of my mentors, John Maxwell.

This book has helped us to stay focused on who we are for and it also has given us fresh insight on how to build a positive culture.

In chapter 11 Jeff talked about how he wrote three thank you notes a day five days a week to motivate his staff. Then he ended the chapter with this note: ” A person who feels appreciated will always do more than expected.”

Wow! So I took Jeff advice and left done sticky notes on some classroom doors for the lead teachers to read and I. return someone left a Sticky note on my office door. It was a great feeling to see that note and it truly inspired me.

I hope that you have been inspired to motivate your team and boost the morale in your child care business.
