Early Childhood Christian Network
Join a community of Christian leaders who
know exactly what you’re going through—and will help you get to the other side.
As much as you love your job, sometimes it feels like you’re
an island.
You’re the only one who has to manage a budget, hire and train new staff, and balance pleasing parents with state compliance. When a team member has a problem, you’re the one they come to.
But if you’re the person everyone else turns to…where do you go for support?
Your job is meaningful, but it isn’t always easy.
That’s why we created a judgment-free zone to get support, share resources, and ask the questions you don’t necessarily want to ask your licensing rep, like…
How do you handle making childcare affordable for staff?
What’s your cell phone usage policy for staff?
How do other directors handle excessive absences from staff?
Do you award scholarships to families at your school?
A parent complained that she smelled “weed” in the classroom….eek! What do I do?!
No matter what you’re going through, someone in our community has the answer.
