How to Impart Your Vision into Your Staff

Your Vision for your Childcare Business is what breathes life into your Childcare Business. In fact, your vision is what sets the direction of your business.

If you own a Childcare Center, it is vital that your staff knows what your vision is for your center, and it is vital that you communicate your vision to your staff.

Please allow me to share my Vision for my Child Care Business.

My vision for my childcare business is that children are provided with a fun, safe and educational place to Grow n’ Learn. So, when I walk through my center, I view my classrooms from the vision that I carry in my heart.

To be quite honest, one of the biggest challenges that I have faced in owning childcare centers, has been to be sure that my Center Directors understand my vision. In fact, I believe that if the Director does not understand your vision, your vision is just a vision in your heart and may not become a reality.

Furthermore, I have found that when I clearly communicated my vision to the Director, she would then have to communicate the vision to the staff and if my vision was communicated effectively; I would then see the vision in action.

Moreover, I have found that if my vision was not articulated to the staff effectively, I would not see my vison in the classrooms, I would see someone ‘else’s vision.

If you have a vision in your heart for your childcare business it is vital that you have multiple ways that you communicate your vision to your staff and here are five easy ways to communicate your vision to your staff:

  1. Write the vision and communicate it regularly.
  2. Post the vision where the staff can see it.
  3. Share your vision in weekly or monthly memos.
  4. Talk about the vision often with your staff.
  5. Share stories that help the staff understand why you are passionate about your vision.
  6. Inspect your classrooms weekly to be sure that your vision is being carried out in the classrooms.
  7. Reward those that implement your Vision.

I hope that you have inspired to become a Vision driven Childcare Business Owner and that you are inspired to impart vision into your staff!

The Big Secret of Dealing With Staff

I can hardly believe that it has been 5 months since I’ve blogged! I have been busy settling into a new city and working on developing my leadership team.

As I wrote my Leadership meeting agenda for this week, I was inspired to share the agenda/training with you because I know that if you have employees; you may face some of the same challenges that I have faced with having employees.

Today I am going to share with you some principles that I gained from a book that I am reading titled: How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. 

Let’s talk about People skills

“Business is 80% People skills and 20% Knowledge”

The Big Secret of Dealing with People…

There is only one way to get anybody to do what you need them to do and that is by making them feel important and making them want to do it.

Remember this:

1.     Every body likes a compliment. (So remember to be intentional about giving compliments)

If you walk in a classroom and notice a clean and organized space, you can say; I love how you keep your room organized and clean. 

2.     Being critical kills ambition. (so give appreciation and encouragement)

Example: If you walk in a room and a teacher seems stressed. Stop and ask, is everything ok? After listening, you can say: I’m sorry you are having a rough day, but it will get better. How can I help?

An employee is late: You can say? I notice you were late, is everything ok? Then you can say, please remember to call if you anticipate being late so our rooms are not out of ratio. Also, I understand that traffic can be bad, however, please remember that it is very important that we are in compliance with the state child- to-ratio guidelines. So with that in mind, we need our team in the building on time.

So, try leaving a friendly trail of sparks of gratitude as you walk through your building. You will be surprised at how they will set sparks of friendship and connection with your team!

With your Success in Mind!
