GOT STICKY NOTES?

In a preschool setting, the phone is very important; perhaps more important than in most businesses due to the fact that the center is responsible for young humans incapable of caring for themselves. Calls from prospective parents, current parents, employees, prospective employees, schools, regulators, vendors, and others keep the phone busy.

While meeting with a client recently, the phone rang several times and she had to stop and take notes and pass messages to her staff.  She also had sticky notes all over the edge of her desk. In a typical preschool, there is no electronic call handling system and, if there is one, it is not connected to a centralized task management or database system.

There are often notes and stickies left for staff members or written in a paper notebook or kept in a file on a single computer.  Message logging and staff communication are critical in a preschool environment and are even an evaluated component of many preschool quality measures. As I looked at all of the sticky notes on the desk, I wondered whether she had ever considered a database so that she and her staff could store and access information, centrally.

I thought it was an appropriate time to discuss the task management and database solution that I offered as part my service. She was excited and found it easy to use. I was glad that she found value in the system. On my latest Zoom call with her, I asked about sticky notes. She laughed and replied "What sticky notes?"

Flash Back To 2008

During the 2008 financial crisis, I was the owner of a preschool and separate learning center. My business was doing well and I har recently rebounded from a significant family disruption that had financial implications of its own. I had revamped my business model and I had added a significant number of new enrollments; things were going well.  Then, the 2008 financial crash happened.... Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the current environment has financial confidence but lacks safety confidence.  The key to surviving and the financial crisis that has resulted from COVID-19 is communicating and restoring safety confidence.  If you put yourself in the shoes of a parent entrusting their child to a preschool, you can understand the need for communication, transparency and consistent continuous safety validation that parents will now demand. This means developing methods and making investments in technology, equipment, policies, and people that will not only restore con

What's Your COVID-19 Business Plan?

Before I begin, let me say that I am empathetic to the owners and employees of preschools during this time because I owned a couple of preschools during the great recession.  Most preschools are also small businesses that rely on parents and governments to pay fees based on attendance. Typically, if a preschool is not open, both parents and governments will not pay child tuition.  There are short-term exceptions to these rules, however, an extended closure of a preschool or childcare center means that no revenue will come in; as a result, employees and business expenses cannot be paid. For me, I always carried "business interruption" insurance which provided funding for both my payroll and business profit during disasters and national emergencies.  I only invoked my "business interruption" insurance once during the time I owned preschools and it was during an ice storm that paralyzed the city. Many small business owners are, typically, unable to claim unempl

ARE YOU LEAVING HELP ON THE TABLE?

Getting someone "work ready" for a job in preschool is not what it used to be. Ten years ago, fingerprinting and training prerequisites were not a "thing" in order to start work in a child care center.   Today, it can take days or even a couple of weeks to get some fingerprinted, have their physical and TB taken, and meet the initial training requirements to work in child care. Though all of these added requirements are a great thing for the quality of child care, they add a layer of pressure to meet ratio requirements. Meanwhile, one of your staff is out for a few days, another one just quit, and you have to scramble to make ratio so that you are not in violation.  As a center owner or director, you definitely want to hire good people for your program.  But, what if someone who's motivated and wants a job has replied to one of your Indeed posts or is referred to you? Do you just tell the person "We're not hiring anymore, check back with us later?"
