Today on The Childcare Director’s Chair, we’re getting into the kind of lesson planning that actually works — not the overpriced, color-coded nonsense that looks good on Instagram but doesn’t help your kids grow. Whether you're a parent, running a home daycare, or managing a full center, this episode is packed with smart, simple ways to build lessons that hit milestones and keep kids engaged.
Joined by guest Leora Cowart, aka the Lesson Planning Guru, we’re talking about planning with purpose, following children’s interests, and using everyday items to spark big learning moments. Oh — and let’s stop cutting everything out for the kids. It’s time to hand over the scissors and let them learn the skills they’re ready for. Seriously.
