Let’s be real—running a childcare program without a plan is like trying to build a LEGO castle without the instructions. In this episode, host Erica Saccoccio gets down to business with early childhood strategist Joe Pinsonneault, and they are not here for the chaos.
Together, they break down why strategic planning isn’t just a fancy buzzword—it’s a must-have for growth, retention, and keeping your sanity. From mastering a SWOT analysis (yes, you actually need one) to creating mission statements your staff won’t roll their eyes at, this convo is full of practical wisdom and a little tough love.
Joe spills all the tea on making plans that don’t just collect dust in a binder. Think follow-through, staff buy-in, and check-ins that keep everyone accountable without the burnout. Bonus? Tips on listening to your team like you actually care—because staff retention starts with respect, not pizza parties.
If you're tired of flying by the seat of your leggings, this episode is your blueprint for getting organized, getting focused, and getting results.
