484 Intentional Teaching Starts with Intentional Leadership
In this episode, Erica slows down the noise of day-to-day operations and invites directors to take a thoughtful look at what’s really happening inside their classrooms. Are your teachers busy — or are they intentional? Are you leading a program that truly supports developmentally appropriate practice and inclusive curriculum?
Through honest reflection and real-world leadership insights, Erica explores how directors can coach with purpose, build systems that support quality, and create a culture where every child and educator feels seen and supported. This is not about managing a program — it’s about leading learning.
If you’re ready to deepen your practice and elevate the heart of your center, this conversation is your next step.
