The Child Care Directors Chair Podcast
Grab your coffee (or your third cup of the day—no judgment here) and pull up a seat, because The Childcare Director’s Chair is where fierce, fabulous, and focused childcare leaders come to talk real talk. Hosted by heart-centered leader Erica Saccoccio, this daily Monday-through-Friday podcast drops fresh episodes at 1:00 AM—so it’s ready when you are (whether you're an early riser or listening while prepping your classroom with one hand and sipping caffeine with the other).
This show is your weekday dose of inspiration, connection, and straight-up strategy for navigating the beautiful chaos of early childhood education. We’re talking about the people behind the programs—teachers, kiddos, families, and YOU. Whether you're handling toddler tantrums at 10 and staffing drama by noon, or trying to grow your team without losing your mind, this space is for you. We tackle the tough stuff, celebrate the wins, and dish out practical ways to grow your center, your community, and your leadership—all while keeping it real and rooted in love.
If you’re a childcare director juggling it all and still showing up with heart and hustle, this show is your safe haven and secret weapon.
💥 Real challenges.
❤️ Real growth.
