We have all experienced loss through our lives, but it can sometimes be hard to put our fingers on what we have actually loss. This does not mean that you have not lost something, nor does it mean that your loss is not as important as someone elses. Some losses are obvious, like the loss I have experienced through the loss of my husband. The pain and grief I feel is understanding to everyone. Ambiguous loss occurs when there is no clear loss or no closure. It is important to be positive and stay focused on the future. It's important to feel the feelings. You are not alone!  If you would like to speak to someone on my team, please email us: [email protected] me for our Child Care Business Summit!

Like me, Chanie helps child care center owner and directors take their centers to the next level by helping them learn best business practices. Chanie also believes that we must put the children at the center of all that we do! In this episode we discuss conflict resolution! Chanie gives us something out of the box to think about! Here is more about Chanie and an amazing offer she has for the ECE world: Join Chanie Wilschanski, founder of Schools of Excellence for a FREE 4-day sprint to help you remove overwhelm and interruptions so you can build a calendar and life that serves your personal and professional leadership goals. Join us June 1-4, 2021 at Chanie.me/buildtolast  Join 2,000 other School Leaders in our Free community in our Schools of Excellence Lounge here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1320019694692592 Bio below + attached headshot Chanie Wilschanski is an Early Childhood Leadership Coach and CEO of Schools of Excellence where she has worked with hundreds of EC Directors and School Owners who are working to build a School of Excellence with higher staff retention, teacher motivation, parent partnership, and collaborative culture. Chanie began her journey over a decade ago, teaching toddlers at the acclaimed Preschool of the Arts in New York City for 8 years until she continued her path into high studies and earned her Masters in EC and Special Education.  In 2015, she started training teachers and school leaders on the HOW part of creating excellence in their schools.  Now a wife and mother of 4, her hands are full and she understands what it takes to lead a large center and have a full-time job at home, and it breaks my heart when I see so many dedicated school leaders sacrificing all of their time with their family and all of their self care (what self care?) to a school that feels like it’s constantly getting away from them.

In this episode, we are joined by Beth Cannon.

We are 16 weeks into the Covid 19 crisis. Tensions are very high around all around the world. People are tired and overwhelmed. So how do you lead a team that is stressed and tired through troubling times? In this episode I talk about the steps I am taking to help my team through this time of crisis. It is very easy for us to get caught up in our own troubles right now. If we don't pay close attention to the pressure our teams are under, we run the risk of losing them. The teams that make up our preschools and child care centers are too important to ignore. We must find ways to ease their burdens.

My vision for ECE has always been for ALL children to get equal access to high quality care and education during their first 5 years of life. Although my mother immigrated to the U.S. from Honduras as a young woman, I have lived a privileged life.  From early on in my ECE career I saw children being treated differently due to their socioeconomic status. This was one of the reasons I became a child care center owner. A child's race or families income should NOT be the determining factor for what kind of ECE program the child can get into.  We can do our part in helping children grow up to be accepting and kind to all people regardless of their race, economic status, health or based on any disabilities they may have. We can also help educate parents on how to achieve this. Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/childcarebusinesscoach/Follow me on Instagram: @thechildcarebusinesscoachYou can find more about me here: www.childcarebusinessprofessionals.com

Find the Blessings It is so easy for us to focus on the overwhelm. We must be intentional and look at the blessings that are still around us. Look beyond your current situation at the big picture. Look to your family, friends, even your pets, you will find blessings somewhere. Celebrate the wins. It can feel weird and out of place to celebrate your wins during stressful times, but it’s important for us to focus on the positive.  Stay focusedDuring stressful times, it can be very hard to stay focused. Look at the things that distract you or keep you focused on issues that are not productive such as social media and the news. Limit your time on activities that are not productive. Get Structured If you are closed, create a list of all the things you have been wanting to do, but don’t have the time normally. Prioritize the list on what will produce he most value. If you are open, create a list of essential items that need to be completed and prioritize them.  Create a weekly and daily schedule for yourself. Start with your priority and most valuable items and schedule them in first.  Don’t Pull Back  It is important to make sure to keep the lines of communication open with your families. Whether your open or closed, you are probably missing a lot of families. Stay in their radar by posting on social media, sending emails or making phone calls.  Now is a great time for you to solidify your branding and build a strong relationship with your families.  Here are the books that I refer to in this episode.

Covid 19 or Coronavirus which ever you prefer to call it, is a very scary and real threat to those in the child care industry for many reasons. Many of you fear for your own families, the children you care for, your staff and your child care centers. You are probably wondering if your center can survive an outbreak or prolonged closure. You have so many people looking to you to lead and guide them when you are dealing with something that is new to all of us. In today's episode, I go over the research I have been doing in order to prepare my daycare for this pandemic. I give you an outline for creating your own strategic plan and some of the recommendations I have received from my lawyer, insurance agent and HR advisor.

Eventually, we all have to deal with being bashed on social media. It happens to us all, but that does not make it any easier. This episode was actually recorded a few months before I am releasing it due to an ugly social media that my center was going through during the time of the recording. Everything turned out for the best and not even one of our families questioned the integrity of my center.

Your center’s culture is forming whether you like it or not. In order to get control of your centers culture, you must be intentional about making your values contagious. When we intentionally create our child care center’s culture by having a clear set of values our preschool becomes a reflection of who we are. These values will help you find the right people for your center. Be sure to join our Facebook group for information on how you can join our owner's cohort. Join the discussion on our Facebook group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/childcarebusinesscoach  Instagram #childcarebusinesscoachwww.childcarebusinessprofessionals.comYou can email me: [email protected]

Is your child care center ready for you to step away? Each one of us will face an emergency situation that will take us away from our work. In this episode, I discuss how life events once, almost put me out of business, and how I now have a plan for emergency situations. It is not healthy for you or your preschool to solely rely on you.

Tiffany Olivas, the ECE Education and Information Officer for the NV Department of Education joins us as we talk about the myths and struggles providers face with QRIS, Quality Rating Improvement Scale and NAEYC accreditation. We discuss how intimidating both processes can be, but how beneficial they are to a child care facility or a preschool program. We also discuss the transition from ECERS R and ITERS R to the new and improved ECERS and ITERS 3.

Achieving NAEYC or NAC accreditation or scoring high in a Stars Program or QRIS may seem too hard and too expensive to achieve. If your center has been struggling, this achievement may be just want you need. Research based, quality standards will help you achieve the success you have been hoping for. I know it seems scary, I was terrified that adhering to high quality standards would bankrupt me, but my child care center has become much more successful since I took the plunge! For more information about my business consultant, Kristine Mehler, check out her website: https://www.tlgconsultinginc.com/profit-improvementYou can find the ITERS book (Infant Toddler Environmental Rating Scale) by Teachers College Press here: https://amzn.to/37AFy0NAnd the ECERS (Early Childhood Environments Rating Scale) by Teachers College Press here: https://amzn.to/2QU1opX I do get a small commission from Amazon if you purchase the books from my link, so please support my podcast if you choose to purchase the books! Please visit my website at: www.childcarebusinessprofessionals.comIf you have any questions about opening or running a daycare center, I would be happy to help!
