As an early childhood educator for the past 11 years, I have witnessed the crucial need for continued and varied team-building efforts. Child care centers are a unique workplace where it is common to talk about bodily functions, nap schedules, communicable diseases, and challenging behaviors before lunch even rolls around. Navigating these tricky situations requires excellent communication and the ability to rely on your team members for support. Although it can be hard to fit team building into your school routine, the benefits are worthwhile and can lead to improved communication, increased morale, opportunities for professional development by learning from your peers, and—in my experience—a better quality child care program overall.
