The Best Daycare Staff Development

What make’s the best daycare staff development program? It’s one that not only trains your staff to know what is wrong, it is one that also empowers them to systematically investigate why it is wrong and how to fix what is wrong in real time to impact the bottom line of your daycare business.

We know that the childcare industry is highly regulated and has a certain number of hours of required training that teachers, aides, and directors have to complete each year. But none of that training has to do with what this article will discuss. Because the government regulators are not teaching anyone how to keep up with the operations of the business.

The first thing you have to develop your staff in, is how to write standardized operating procedures.

I’m not talking about writing the google docs that the State requires. I’m talking about real work instructions that have columns for not only what to do, but step by step how to do it, and why it’s needed. You staff should be aware when processes change and need to be updated. They should be empowered to write and update documents as needed.

The second thing you have to develop your staff in is how to find anything in 8 seconds or less.

This type of organization leads to a sparkly clean environment that prevents safety hazards from ever occurring. No more fines for having children being able to reach chemicals. With trainings focused on “How to Organize Better” your staff will not only save you money, but they will save their own time and be happier at work.

The third thing you have to develop your staff in is problem solving.

This training is vital if you want to stay in business longer and keep the cash flow rolling in. Staff who can not only identify what is wrong but also why it is wrong is staff that is worth their weight in gold. This is such an invaluable skillset that it will pay you back over and over again. Think of all the problems that you are experiencing in your daycare today and imagine them all disappearing and never coming back.

There you have it. The best staff development program should be an investment to save your daycare program time and money. For more information check out this free video.
