Having a happy, productive staff is essential to the success of your child care program!! Welcome to a place where we help you attract, motivate and retain the best child care staff so you can excel at running your child care program.
Member Rave:"When I first took over the center, staff were
beginning to look for other jobs and wouldn't recommend the center to
friends or family for jobs or childcare. Now, I have people calling
me and emailing me for work and child care openings. I feel like I've
built the foundation for a successful business I apologize for the
length of this, but I am very excited about all of this... I look
forward to future CDs and newsletters."
Kathy Monahan, Owner, Massachusetts

You can search for the challenges you are currently facing through our easy to use search bar - and find solutions. They are there at your fingertips!

Topics range from Hiring Staff to Firing Staff and everything in between. In just a few minutes you can begin tapping into the knowledge and wisdom of hundreds of leaders including best selling authors and consultants!
There is no limit on how many audio programs you listen to!

3. Transcripts Are you a visual learner? As a member, you'll be able to download transcripts from the audio programs we've produced over the last 2 years. Read along as you listen to your monthly audio program with a highlighter in hand so you can implement the strategies that you like best or keep a copy with you to read when you can.
Member Rave:"I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you
how much I appreciate your web site...When I found your site I was just
thrilled. This is something that is so needed in the Early Childhood
Community of which I have been a part for the last 23 years. Even
veteran Directors and Managers will find things on this site that will
be useful as it is always good to not only get refreshers but find and
hear new things as well. I know myself as a Veteran Director that I
sometimes find myself thinking, "I have tried it all" but, much to my
surprise I was happy to find things that either I had tried many years
ago and it didn't work or things that I hadn't even thought of! Many of
us try things with one particular staff that don't work, but you may
have amazing results with a completely different staff years later. Keep
up the great work Julie! As professionals in the field of Early
Childhood Education we have to motivate and cheer each other on because
if we don't no one else will! Blessings to you!" Gina D. Sarver,
Director, Christ Church United Methodist Preschool

Member Rave:"I just want to thank you for the
wonderful materials this site provides. I have not been a member for
very long, but already I have received materials that I have used
successfully with my staff. The first was the raffle question. We
received this just a few days prior to our all day staff training. We
set it up and picked the winner at the end of our training day. It was
fun and stimulated a lot of conversation during the days leading up to
the drawing. We are looking forward to the next raffle question. Right
now the staff are working on the crossword puzzle that just came out.
Again it is stimulating a lot of conversation and enjoyment. I really
appreciate these fun activities. It helps to rejuvenate and reinforce
early childhood topics without me having to lecture to them. They
are enjoying it as well. Please keep sending these tools. They are
great." L. Greasley, Member
