E238 Building a Strong Team in a Competitive Hiring Market with Robin Harris
Description
If you've ever wondered why some child care businesses keep strong teams, even in a tough hiring market, while others feel like they're constantly starting over, this episode is for you. Tune in as Sindye Alexander, COO of Child Care Genius, fills in for Brian and Carol and sits down with Robin Harris, owner of Exceptional Scholars Leadership Academy and a longtime Child Care Genius University member who has officially joined the Child Care Genius team as a coach.
Listen in as Robin shares her journey from public school education into opening her own center in 2018, and why she believes early childhood is the true foundation of everything that comes next for children. She gets real about what she wishes she knew sooner, including the value of having a mentor or coach to help bridge the gap between being an excellent educator and running a thriving business.
Join us for a practical, culture focused conversation about supporting and retaining teachers: training with clarity (down to the smallest SOPs), giving specific recognition that builds morale, and creating an environment where staff feel seen, safe, and empowered. Robin also shares hiring strategies that include being transparent in interviews, showing your school culture online to attract applicants, and building an onboarding process that truly sets people up for success.
You'll also hear a helpful discussion on balancing heart and business, including why understanding finances and the "numbers" matters if you want your mission to last. If you're ready to strengthen your team, improve retention, and lead with purpose and strategy, you'll walk away with clear takeaways you can implement right away.
