| Creating Lasting Habits | 29 Apr 2025 | 00:07:30 | |
In this episode, Noelle discusses actionable strategies to help make new habits stick without overhauling your entire life. She shares a personal story about a director who successfully incorporated a new habit by pairing it with an activity she enjoyed—getting coffee. Noelle outlines three main techniques: tying the habit to something you like, starting with small, manageable goals, and using visual cues. These methods help create consistency and make the process of forming new habits less daunting. Noelle emphasizes the importance of setting yourself up for success in a way that fits your lifestyle, rather than fighting against it. Join The Club!

| Teacher Check-Ins: Improve Communication And Increase Retention Rates | 23 Jan 2023 | 00:11:48 | |
Regular check-ins with our child care center teachers are essential for maintaining a positive and productive learning environment. By checking in with our teachers, we are able to provide support and guidance, help them achieve their goals, and address any issues or concerns they may have. These check-ins also help to keep our teachers engaged and motivated, and allow us to identify and address any problems or obstacles that may be hindering their work. By staying in touch with our teachers through regular check-ins, we can ensure that they have the tools and resources they need to provide the best care and education to the children in our centers.

Subscribe to this podcast to get reminders of all the good things coming your way to strengthen your relationships with your people! Today's episode will help you connect with candidates. When we form a connection with someone, it begins the start of a good relationship. We do this by communicating with the candidate, and once the offer is made, with a new hire. We share things with them that we know they think before they actually come on the interview or start their first day. We predict what they may be thinking about, such as when will I get paid? what do I wear? When will my lunch be? We assist them in the transition and reduce anxiety. As that is sometimes why someone doesn't show up for the interview or the first day of work. They appreciate the support they are getting.

| This Story Is A Game Changer | 20 Apr 2022 | 00:23:21 | |
When you started our child are center you had a dream, or in business terms, a vision. We typically don't discuss our vision with our team, we tend to share policies, procedures, checklists, and how to's. BUT when you take the vision you have in your head of how your center operates and turn it into a story, it's a game changer. Teachers see themselves as part of the story. When an employee sees themselves as part of the story they feel more connected to the center. It's understood how things are to work at the center. Your center begins operating just how you want it and your employees feel part of it, which is a huge benefit to employee retention! Take a listen and get your story in front of your teachers!

Click the link to download! https://memberships.kartra.com/page/toddlerclassroomtoolkit Today, we discuss the importance of streamlined feedback at child care centers to avoid confusion and negativity. Reflecting on past issues at Scribble Time, they outline three steps to improve the feedback system: designating a single feedback mentor per classroom, establishing clear communication channels, and implementing regular check-ins. These changes led to more consistent guidance, improved teacher confidence and performance, and a more positive atmosphere. The speaker encourages others to assess their feedback processes and consider joining the Director's Club for further support and resources.

| Too Much To Do? Problem Solved! | 19 Mar 2022 | 00:16:05 | |
There are way too many things for us to get done. Director's who get it all done can be feeling like they don't spend enough time with the things they care about like family or simply taking a minute to themselves. Others are in full blown overwhelm, always behind on paperwork or projects. Let's end the madness, accept our jobs are busy, and learn this simple get it done practice I've been using for over 18 years! Join me for my free Get "IT" Done workshop on Tuesday!

| BONUS - GET YOUR "IT" DONE! | 17 Mar 2022 | 00:04:46 | |
I was so overwhelmed when I became an owner and an active child care center director 18 years ago. There were so many things to do, so many people needed me, and so many things needed to be fixed! Coming from a corporate background I knew I needed to figure something out to help me get the operations and business responsibilities done while having time to improve and implement fun new things. The process I use allows me to implement new things at my center and improve processes to make it better. I know this system keeps my waiting list full because when I hear how people find out about ScribbleTime and share their “why” they chose us, it’s that almost every single time. It is also a huge driver in employee retention.
Join me in my Get “IT” Done workshop being held Tuesday, March 22 – Thursday, March 24th at 2pm EST LIVE in my Facebook group. Let’s connect “in person”, bring a notebook, all your crazy ideas for your center, and leave the excuse “I don’t have time”. Things are about to change for you next week! REGISTER HERE: | |||
| The Key To Challenging Behaviors With Prerna Richards | 02 Mar 2022 | 00:45:51 | |
I sat down and spoke with Prerna Richards of Together We Grow and I can't wait for you to listen! We discussed how a classroom is dealing with one or more challenging behaviors and how she listened and observed to support the teachers to support the students. She shares breathing techniques, communication techniques, classroom management ideas, and one of my favorites, how can I support my teachers better as a director. When we gain more knowledge in this area it reduces stress in the classroom and provides our teachers and students with lifelong skills.

Episode #20 of Season 2 focuses on IMPLEMENTING professional development. We all have the requirement to take professional development each year but do we always implement it?

| Professional Development Plans That Build Teams with BONUS Interview with Beth Cannon | 05 Jan 2022 | 00:34:45 | |
Wooohoooo! Welcome to Season #2 of The Director's Club podcast! In our first episode of the season, we help you kick off 2022 with professional development and building your team! We all have to take professional development each year. I find it beneficial to the team, center, and individuals if some of our professional development is done together. When we all get on the same page with philosophy and process, we have a common goal to work towards together. It not only benefits the center. It benefits the entire team. They can set and meet goals individually to learn a new skill. Together, we can celebrate successes, brainstorm when things aren’t working, and support one another. When we have implemented something new as a team we are more committed to being consistent with it as well. As leaders, we must find ways to bring our team together towards common goals. It increases retention of our team and overall happiness working at your center. This episode will help you do just that with a plan that is simple to implement. Then as a BONUS, I interview Beth Cannon. Beth is hosting Leadership Lounge Summit, a FREE (yes you read that right!) 4-day virtual conference in January that you could use to implement the plan in this podcast.
