The workforce landscape in the early childhood industry has been under attack for several years. There is a common sentiment of a hazy fog covering our schools. In this fog, teachers are less engaged and excited about their impact in the classroom. Leaders are burnt out from a revolving wheel of recruiting and staff demands. School owners are tired of competing with other industries to defend the prestige of working at a child care center.
This “fog” is having an effect on our ability to attract, engage, and retain staff. And so, I invite you to take some time to reenergize every aspect of your school and develop an informed strategy to secure growth, fortify revenue, and solve the people crisis.
