The Child Care Directors Chair Podcast
502 C is for Collaboration
What happens when leadership stops operating in silos and starts building with their teams instead of above them?
In this episode of the Childcare Director’s Chair, we’re breaking down “C Is for Collaboration” and why true collaboration between administrators and instructional staff isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s essential for building strong, sustainable early childhood programs. Too often, decisions are made in offices while the real magic (and real challenges) live in the classrooms. That disconnect costs morale, retention, and program quality.
Joined by Coach Rea, we dig into what real collaboration actually looks like in early childhood settings — beyond staff meetings and suggestion boxes. We explore how to create shared ownership, build trust across roles, and design systems where teachers feel heard, supported, and empowered to help move the entire program forward.
✨ This episode is a sneak peek into one of the powerful workshop conversations happening May 7th, 8th, and 9th at the https://eceempowermentconference.com/meet-your-speakers/ hosted at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, Rhode Island. These are the real conversations leaders are craving — honest, practical, and rooted in real-life early childhood leadership.
