Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever walked out of a staff meeting thinking, “I explained this… why are we still struggling?” —this episode is for you.
In this episode of Childcare Director’s Chair, we’re diving into a truth every childcare owner and director needs to hear: teaching adults is different than teaching children.
We talk about why staff training doesn’t always stick, how adults actually learn, and the small but powerful shifts leaders can make in training and communication to create better buy-in, stronger follow-through, and a healthier program culture.
This episode is filled with real childcare examples, honest leadership conversations, and practical strategies you can start using immediately. If you’re tired of repeating yourself and ready to lead with intention, pull up a chair—this one’s for you.
