529 Pivot or Get Left Behind: Strategic Planning That Keeps Childcare Strong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The pandemic forced childcare leaders to react fast—but reacting isn’t the same as leading. In this episode of the Child Care Director’s Chair, Erica sits down with Joe Pinsonneault to talk about why strategic planning is no longer optional in childcare—it’s survival.
They break down what it really means to pivot in today’s early education landscape, how to move past the pandemic mindset, and why data, accountability, and stakeholder buy-in matter more than ever. Joe shares practical insight on maintaining quality while growing sustainably, diversifying revenue streams, and building a plan that protects your program long-term instead of putting out fires short-term.
This is a must-listen for childcare owners, directors, and leaders ready to stop guessing and start planning with intention.
