When a CDA-credentialed teacher walks through the door... 👀😂

Directors know how valuable experienced, trained teachers are. Supporting your current team as they work toward their CDA can be just as important as finding the right person to hire.

We’ve been talking more about what CDA support can look like for childcare centers on our blog:

Your teachers are one of your center’s greatest investments. 🎓

Helping your team earn their CDA can strengthen classroom quality, build confidence, and create a clear path for professional growth.

When your teachers grow, your center grows with them.

You finally sit down, open the paperwork and think, “I have 30 minutes to catch up.”

And then… 😂

Childcare directors, what usually gets you first?

A — A call-out
B — A parent needs you
C — A classroom needs coverage
D — You never even made it to the office

I have a feeling D is going to be popular. 👇

Childcare directors, we want to hear from you. 👇

What part of running your center takes up WAY more of your time than it should?

👥 Staffing & scheduling
📚 Training & compliance
💬 Parent communication
💻 Administrative work
💰 Billing & finances
😅 Something else entirely

There’s always something competing for a director’s attention.

What’s the biggest time-stealer in your center right now?

Your best teacher just received another job offer.

The pay is similar.

But their new employer offers healthcare.

**Would they stay?**

For childcare owners and directors, retaining great teachers takes more than hiring the right people. It means giving employees reasons to see your center as a place where they can stay, grow, and build a career.

Healthcare benefits can be an important part of that equation.

ECE Healthy Advantage™ was created with early childhood education teams in mind, giving childcare businesses access to healthcare options that can help strengthen the benefits they offer their employees.

Because when great teachers have choices, your benefits package can help your center stand out.

❤️ Give valued employees another reason to stay.

Sometimes the lesson plan just isn’t working. And that doesn’t always mean something has gone wrong.

One of the best things a childcare director can do is create a culture where teachers know they have permission to read the room, adjust their approach, and make intentional decisions based on what the children need.

Maybe that means adding movement. Maybe it means changing how they communicate. Maybe the children need to participate more. And sometimes, the best decision is simply to wrap up the activity and try again later.

Great teachers need strong plans—but they also need the confidence to know when it’s time to pivot.

Swipe through for 4 ways directors can support teachers when an activity isn’t going according to plan.

💬 Directors: Do your teachers know they have permission to change the plan when the children need something different?

Save this for your next staff meeting and share it with your teaching team.

POV: You're the director doing your classroom rounds...

You walk into Circle Time.

Except Circle Time is no longer circling.

It's now a full-blown dance party. 😂💃🕺

At that point, there are two choices:

🚫 “Everybody sit back down!”

OR...

👏 Let your teacher read the room, get those wiggles out, and bring the group back together when they're ready.

Sometimes good classroom management looks a little different than what was written in the lesson plan.

Directors — would you join the dance party or quietly back out of the classroom? 😂👇

Before the week officially wraps up, take a moment to recognize the progress that happened inside your center. 💙

Not every win has to be a big one. Maybe a classroom routine improved, a teacher handled a challenging moment beautifully, a child reached a new milestone, or your team simply supported one another through a busy week.

Encourage your staff to take a moment to reflect—and don’t forget to recognize your own wins as a leader, too.

What is one thing that went well at your center this week? Share it below so we can celebrate with you! 🌟
