581 Why Good Child Care Programs Still Lose Money
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Even full, well-run child care programs can still struggle financially—and most directors don’t understand why.
In this episode of Your Daily Child Care Director’s Chair Podcast, Erica Saccoccio continues the Whole Leadership Series by breaking down one of the most overlooked truths in early childhood leadership: being full does not mean being financially stable. You’ll learn how staffing, pricing, labor costs, and enrollment patterns directly impact sustainability, and why many directors are making financial decisions without clear visibility into their data.
This conversation connects directly to Administrative Leadership in the McCormick Center’s Whole Leadership Framework and will help you begin shifting from guessing to leading with clarity and confidence.
If you’ve ever thought, “We’re full… so why are we still struggling?”—this episode will give you the perspective shift you’ve been missing.
