After a powerful week at the Texas Child Care Association Spring Conference, this episode dives into a conversation many directors are thinking—but not saying out loud.
Have we blurred the line between meeting expectations and going above and beyond? And did pandemic-era funding reshape staff expectations in ways that aren’t sustainable?
We unpack:
- The difference between recognition and entitlement
- When extra effort should (and shouldn’t) lead to extra pay
- How to create real growth paths for your team
- What to do when expectations aren’t being met
- And how COVID-era bonuses shifted workplace culture
If you’re leading a team in today’s childcare landscape, this is a conversation you can’t afford to avoid.
