Rethinking Induction

Saison 4 · Épisode 4

jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 37:07

Induction is one of the most overlooked policies in early learning.

It isn’t a folder handed to a new team member on their first day. It’s the foundation of your culture, your expectations, and the way quality practice is sustained long after onboarding ends.

In this episode, we explore why great induction is an ongoing process, how it shapes confident educators, and what nursery leaders can do to build stronger, more consistent teams.
