  • So many tools for my toolbox!

    Kris’ podcasts are hands down the best for any childcare owner. I listen to her podcasts to fill my mind with ideas for staff meetings and owner meetings. She always has a guest on that I can relate to. It’s so amazing that she brought this community of childcare owners together, I am so thankful for all information I take away from these podcasts.

  • Great for childcare directors and owners

    I’ve probably listened to everyone of these episodes. I enjoy listening to Kris and all of her guests.

    There aren’t many resources available to owners and directors of early childcare programs. This is a much needed resource for us. I’ve since participated in some of the child care success company’s trainings as well as now have attended one virtual success summit and will be in Vegas at the 2021 summit. I can’t wait.

    I highly suggest this podcast.

I highly recommend listening to this if you’re in the child care field!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 233 — Becoming a Magic Maker with Tammy England
Q: How can teachers carve out meaningful time to communicate with parents during a busy day?
Communicate focus areas rather than every misstep, use observations to guide conversations, and schedule formal conferences twice a year while maintaining ongoing, concise updates that highlight progress and strategies for support.
Ep. 233 — Becoming a Magic Maker with Tammy England
Q: What practical steps can parents and teachers take when a child is really struggling with behavior?
Start by adjusting the classroom environment to better support the child, offer small positive praises to reinforce desired behavior, give the child ownership with safe responsibilities, and partner closely with the parents to maintain a consistent plan.
Ep. 230 — The Difference Between Owners Who Grow and Owners Who Stay Stuck with Ben Poswalk
Q: What advice would you give your 10-years-ago self?
Be more willing to be vulnerable and authentic, seek support, and trust your inner guidance. Building confidence comes from admitting what you don't know and taking disciplined, transparent steps forward.
Ep. 230 — The Difference Between Owners Who Grow and Owners Who Stay Stuck with Ben Poswalk
Q: What's a blind spot that owners often miss, especially when chasing external solutions for internal problems?
Many chase shiny external fixes like new software or marketing tactics while neglecting internal alignment—clear messaging, ownership, and a culture that supports ongoing relationships with families and staff.
Ep. 230 — The Difference Between Owners Who Grow and Owners Who Stay Stuck with Ben Poswalk
Q: If you had to look at all these conversations, what do you think separates owners who are really growing from those who stay stuck?
The key distinguishes action-takers who implement and execute over simply collecting information. Real growth happens when owners apply what they learn, bring it back to their teams, and stay consistent with new habits.
