The Director's Club – Details, episodes & analysis

n 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.

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.
