Send us a textChristmas week in a childcare center can feel overwhelming—attendance is unpredictable, staff are exhausted, routines are off, and directors are carrying the weight of it all.In this episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, we spill the real tea about what leadership actually looks like during Christmas week. This is your permission slip to let go of perfection and focus on what truly matters: stability for children, support for staff, and strong relationships with families.We talk about why simplifying is not lowering standards, how to support your team like humans (not superheroes), and how focusing on connection over routines builds trust that lasts far beyond the holidays. If you’re feeling the pressure to “do it all” this week, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and lead with clarity and confidence.If you’re a childcare director who wants real support, real conversations, and real leadership strategies, join us inside our private Childcare Director’s Chair Leadership Group—because you don’t have to lead alone.🎧 Listen in, share with a fellow director, and don’t forget to leave a review—it helps this community grow.Support the showWe invite you to join our community of dedicated listeners by supporting our podcast with a monthly subscription.
