The Director's Club

I think childcare directors are tired of being marketed to by people who haven’t worked in a center in years.

I’m not building what I give you from a whiteboard in a coaching office.
I’m building it between tours, staffing conversations, licensing visits, tuition questions, and all the real things that happen inside a center.

That’s also why I don’t price my community like a mastermind for tech startups.
I know the financial reality of childcare.
I live it too.

The Director’s Club was built to be practical, accessible, and useful on Monday morning.
We all need a community to lean into.
Director-to-director.
Always.

For years, I did performance reviews and classroom observations because we were supposed to.

But once I started connecting those conversations to actual goal setting and professional development throughout the year, everything changed.
Teachers started wanting to learn more.
Classroom management improved.
Communication improved.
Growth felt intentional instead of reactive.

That’s what we’re building inside The Employee Development Blueprint.
Not more paperwork.
A process that actually supports your team.
Virtual workshop + recording included.

What if you stopped working IN your center for an hour and spent that time working ON it instead?

That's exactly what our monthly Director's Club Book Club is all about.

This month we're discussing Business Made Simple by Donald Miller and exploring how its lessons connect to the challenges directors face every day:

✔ Building stronger teams
✔ Improving communication
✔ Making confident business decisions
✔ Creating systems that reduce overwhelm
✔ Leading with greater clarity

This isn't a lecture.
It's a conversation.

A room full of directors sharing ideas, asking questions, and learning from one another.

If you've been looking for practical leadership growth and meaningful collaboration, we'd love to have you join us.

Great books. Better leaders. Stronger centers.

Good morning, Fellow Director.
Before the emails start.
Before Monday’s staffing changes.

Before the enrollment questions and classroom coverage plans.
I hope you give yourself a minute this weekend to notice what you’ve already built.
A center full of children.

A team that trusts you.
Families who hand over the most important people in their lives every single day.
This work matters deeply.
And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

There’s a whole room of directors walking through the same season beside you.

Sometimes the most valuable part of a workshop isn’t the presentation.
It’s the room.

The conversations with other directors.
The ideas you hear from someone solving a similar challenge in a different way.
The reminder that you are not the only one trying to hold all of these moving pieces together.

That’s a big part of what Business Made Simple for Child Care Directors is designed to create.

A few hours to pause, reflect on the business, and collaborate with directors who understand the work.

Because sometimes the best ideas come from hearing another director say:
“Oh… here’s what worked for us.”

📣 Directors—Support Your Lead Teachers with This Time Management Podcast!
Being a lead teacher in an early childhood classroom means juggling a lot—lesson planning, classroom management, team coordination, and more. 🎯

In this episode of The Early Education Teacher’s Lounge Podcast, we dive into time management strategies specifically for lead teachers. From prioritizing tasks and setting goals to learning how to delegate and stay flexible, this episode is packed with real-world tips your teachers can start using right away.

🎧 Listen now: https://share.transistor.fm/s/189bd93a
✨ Directors, here’s how to make it part of your team’s professional growth:
✅ Share the link with your lead teachers
✅ Play it during a team meeting and discuss what resonates
✅ Encourage teachers to share their own time-saving hacks
✅ Remind them that self-care is time management too!

Let’s help our teachers feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to lead their classrooms with intention.

We’re putting together something special for child care center leaders, owners, and administrators—and I'd love your input.

We are planning a FREE virtual summit where we'll spend the day learning, collaborating, and sharing real-world strategies that help strengthen our centers.

Before I finalize the speaker lineup and sessions, tell me - what would make next school year better? Easier?

✨ What topic do you want to hear about?
✨ What challenge are you facing right now?
✨ What do you wish was easier in your role?
✨ What skill do you wish you had more confidence in?
✨ What resource, system, or tool would make the biggest difference in your center?

Whether it's staffing, enrollment, finances, leadership, marketing, time management, team development, retention, curriculum, parent communication, or something else entirely—I want to hear it.

Drop your ideas in the comments.

We have big plans for this event and can't wait to spend the day with leaders from across the country learning, collaborating, and building stronger centers together.

Your answer may help shape the sessions we bring to the summit. 💙
