514 Off the Runway: Building Strong Leaders in Early Childhood with Dr Kimberly Krzanowski
Leadership in early childhood education can’t stay stuck on the runway. In this episode, we sit down with guest Dr. Kimberly Krzanowski to talk about what it takes to move ECE leadership from takeoff to touchdown—through innovation, intention, and people-centered leadership.
Together, we unpack what effective leadership truly looks like in today’s early childhood education workforce: empowering teachers as professionals, strengthening leadership pipelines, fostering confidence and curiosity, and challenging systems that no longer serve educators or children. This conversation is about elevating the ECE workforce, supporting teacher leadership, and creating programs where educators feel valued, respected, and equipped to lead.
The work early childhood professionals do every single day is essential, impactful, and foundational to our communities—yet far too often, it’s undervalued. If we want stronger outcomes for children and families, we must invest in leadership development, innovation, and sustainable support for the people doing the work.
✨ Continue the conversation in person at the Early Childhood Education Empowerment Conference.
