A high-quality children’s program begins with high-quality administration.

A hard working director is always looking for ways to improve.

Even a well established program has potential for growth. Let me help you make your school shine in these areas:

  • I spent 32 years adhering to State of Michigan Child Care Licensing regulations for a large program of children ages 0-5 years. Licensing reviews were consistently positive. I can help navigate the forms and create systems to help your program adhere to regulations for a successful licensing visit.

  • Michigan’s quality rating levels and the program changes needed to achieve them can feel overwhelming. Let me help you re-envision your program to meet these standards and help your program grow.

  • NAEYC Accreditation is an additional way to demonstrate your program’s quality. I have successfully navigated the many variations of NAEYC Accreditation since 1999 and can help you become accredited, too.

Administrative Support

  • Staff and family handbooks

    Ensure your program is running smoothly with a clear, concise handbook for families and staff. Let me help you write handbooks highlighting program policies and expectations and reduce miscommunications among program participants.

  • Organizational support

    I know how much there is to keep track of in your day-to-day operations. Keeping abreast of staff and children’s paperwork, billing, scheduling and interviewing takes a lot of time and energy. I can help you streamline your administrative systems to make each day a little easier.

  • Staff Training and Retention

    Staff turnover is perhaps the biggest problem that a center administrator encounters. I can help you develop engaging, meaningful training to cultivate a sense of pride in your staff, making them feel valued and invested in your program. Let’s work together to create an atmosphere of professionalism and camaraderie that will motivate teachers to stay with your program.

  • Interviewing and Orientation

    I can help you create a detailed interviewing process for potential teachers and teaching assistants, which will help effectively hire qualified candidates.

    Together we can design an orientation process for new staff and families that emphasizes the critical policies and expectations of your program.

Administrative Coaching

I unexpectedly became a program administrator early in my career. I quickly learned that the responsibilities of the job are far more challenging than staff or families realize. My years of hard earned wisdom can help you hone your professional presence, polish communication with families and staff, and develop a culture of confidence and respect.
