I want to share with you my first TED experience. One of my passions is for the world to know the importance of early childhood education. People have formed a view of what daycare is. That view can be true is come cases, but I am trying to reveal to the world the power of a preschool that provides childcare services.
If you would like to join me in my mission to help the world see the importance of ECE, check out the course I will be launching called The Value of Your Voice. This course will help you learn how to get paid to get your message to the world. Today I am going to share with you the recording from my virtual TED Talk with Plattsburgh New York, TED. This was my first time on the TED platform. I used the opportunity to help the world see why we are more than just daycare. For those of us who work hard to sustain high quality Research based standards, we are preschools that provide childcare.

Do you ever feel absolutely chaotic or live with shame? Do you look at the people around you and wish you could just be normal?
I lived with shame for many years. I always wondered what was wrong with me. I felt like I had character flaws that were big and selfish. I worked desperately to make myself be like other people. I then found out that not only do I have narcolepsy but I also live with 3 types of ADHD.
Now I can show myself the grace I deserve.

Let's be honest. Are you causing the problems in your own life? We often place blame and look externally for the reasons we are not achieving what we want in our professional and personal lives, but we often set ourselves up for failure.
Patterns of behavior that we are not even aware of often cause our own demise. What changes do you need to make in your own life?

We have all experienced loss through our lives, but it can sometimes be hard to put our fingers on what we have actually loss. This does not mean that you have not lost something, nor does it mean that your loss is not as important as someone elses.
Some losses are obvious, like the loss I have experienced through the loss of my husband. The pain and grief I feel is understanding to everyone. Ambiguous loss occurs when there is no clear loss or no closure.
It is important to be positive and stay focused on the future. It's important to feel the feelings. You are not alone!

Bio below + attached headshot
Chanie Wilschanski is an Early Childhood Leadership Coach and CEO of Schools of Excellence where she has worked with hundreds of EC Directors and School Owners who are working to build a School of Excellence with higher staff retention, teacher motivation, parent partnership, and collaborative culture.
Chanie began her journey over a decade ago, teaching toddlers at the acclaimed Preschool of the Arts in New York City for 8 years until she continued her path into high studies and earned her Masters in EC and Special Education.
In 2015, she started training teachers and school leaders on the HOW part of creating excellence in their schools.
Now a wife and mother of 4, her hands are full and she understands what it takes to lead a large center and have a full-time job at home, and it breaks my heart when I see so many dedicated school leaders sacrificing all of their time with their family and all of their self care (what self care?) to a school that feels like it’s constantly getting away from them.
Performing a Cost Analysis and understanding Key Performance Indicators is an important part of business health. Jeremy Lott has helped me understand my KPI's and created a cost analysis for my child care center. Join us as we discuss this process and how it helped me to become more financially successful.

In this episode, we are joined by Beth Cannon. Beth does a great job of explaining what we discussed in the following description:
*While I was training and motivating other teams, my own team was fragmented and disconnected, because I’d hired the wrong people out of desperation and our onboarding systems were dependent on too many fluctuating factors.
When I finally got clear on the need to empower my team, put the right systems in place, and learned to manage my time and energy, there was a marked shift in my own mindset and mental health AND I got my joy back! TIME TO LEVEL UP AND TRANSFORM INTO THE LEADER YOU ARE My magic is in my ability to motivate and articulate the exact steps you need to take to organize and strategize your workflows and processes. When the leader levels up, the team experiences the transformation of their talent into performance.

We are 16 weeks into the Covid 19 crisis. Tensions are very high around all around the world. People are tired and overwhelmed. So how do you lead a team that is stressed and tired through troubling times? In this episode I talk about the steps I am taking to help my team through this time of crisis.
It is very easy for us to get caught up in our own troubles right now. If we don't pay close attention to the pressure our teams are under, we run the risk of losing them. The teams that make up our preschools and child care centers are too important to ignore. We must find ways to ease their burdens.

My vision for ECE has always been for ALL children to get equal access to high quality care and education during their first 5 years of life. Although my mother immigrated to the U.S. from Honduras as a young woman, I have lived a privileged life.
From early on in my ECE career I saw children being treated differently due to their socioeconomic status. This was one of the reasons I became a child care center owner.
A child's race or families income should NOT be the determining factor for what kind of ECE program the child can get into.
We can do our part in helping children grow up to be accepting and kind to all people regardless of their race, economic status, health or based on any disabilities they may have. We can also help educate parents on how to achieve this.

Scott Wayman, the founder and CEO of Kangarootime joins us today to talk about what it looks like to be the owner and founder of a successful company. Kangarootime is the leading all-in-one childcare management software for daycares and preschools. During the Covid 19 crisis, Kangarootime decided to put growing the business on hold in order to focus on serving and helping child care centers through this time.
Scott and his team have been dedicating their time to putting weekly webinars together in order to help child care centers survive this time. Scott talks about his story as a struggling owner and how he bounced back to build a thriving business that focuses on serving their clients.

If you are like me, making leadership decision during this time can be very difficult. You second guess yourself and doubt every decision you make. Since no one has ever been through anything like this, we have no where to turn for guidance. Join me as I discuss how I make decisions during this time.
It's also important to focus on how we are going to get through this time. We do not fail until we give up. If you feel like there is no hope, I want you to know that you can prevail through this. Please email me if you would like to discuss any of the topics I talk about.

Is Your Childcare Center Impacted by COVID-19?
In this episode, Jay Whitney of Childcare Brokers answers the questions we have all been asking about the Paycheck Protection Program. Please be sure to join our Facebook community for more useful tools, like videos, pdf files and free trainings to help you get through this crisis: https://www.facebook.com/groups/childcarebusinesscoach/
The SBA Coronavirus Relief Loan – Paycheck Protection Program
- Do your childcare center qualify? & What’s needed to determine eligibility?
- How do I calculate the total loan amount my childcare center can get?
- What counts as “payroll costs? What does not count as Payroll costs? Does the PPP cover paid sick leave?
- What expenses will this loan help pay?
- Will I have to pay back my loan? – What is forgiven?
- Will I owe money if I do not maintain my staff and payroll.
- Are there any fees?
- Is collateral or a personal guarantee required?
- What is the interest rate? Over what period will it be paid back?
- What documents will I need to complete my application?
- Can I take out a PPP loan and a SBA Disaster Relief Loan (EIDL)?
- Why some lenders are not interested in the program? (The bank’s interest rate is only 1%!) Since the program is a “first come, first serviced” program, why a center owner should go with lenders who move fast?

Find the Blessings It is so easy for us to focus on the overwhelm. We must be intentional and look at the blessings that are still around us. Look beyond your current situation at the big picture. Look to your family, friends, even your pets, you will find blessings somewhere. Celebrate the wins. It can feel weird and out of place to celebrate your wins during stressful times, but it’s important for us to focus on the positive.
Stay focused
During stressful times, it can be very hard to stay focused. Look at the things that distract you or keep you focused on issues that are not productive such as social media and the news. Limit your time on activities that are not productive.
Get Structured
If you are closed, create a list of all the things you have been wanting to do, but don’t have the time normally. Prioritize the list on what will produce he most value. If you are open, create a list of essential items that need to be completed and prioritize them. Create a weekly and daily schedule for yourself. Start with your priority and most valuable items and schedule them in first.
Don’t Pull Back
It is important to make sure to keep the lines of communication open with your families. Whether your open or closed, you are probably missing a lot of families. Stay in their radar by posting on social media, sending emails or making phone calls. Now is a great time for you to solidify your branding and build a strong relationship with your families.

Please note, I am not an expert or a lawyer, doctor, insurance agent, or HR specialist. I am merely sharing the knowlege I gained while researching and interviewing professionals about Covid 19.
Eventually, we all have to deal with being bashed on social media. It happens to us all, but that does not make it any easier. This episode was actually recorded a few months before I am releasing it due to an ugly social media that my center was going through during the time of the recording.
Everything turned out for the best and not even one of our families questioned the integrity of my center. Join me while I take you through the advice I got from my lawyer and business advisor. Be sure to let me know what you think!

Your center’s culture is forming whether you like it or not. In order to get control of your centers culture, you must be intentional about making your values contagious.
When we intentionally create our child care center’s culture by having a clear set of values our preschool becomes a reflection of who we are. These values will help you find the right people for your center.

Achieving NAEYC or NAC accreditation or scoring high in a Stars Program or QRIS may seem too hard and too expensive to achieve. If your center has been struggling, this achievement may be just want you need. Research based, quality standards will help you achieve the success you have been hoping for. I know it seems scary, I was terrified that adhering to high quality standards would bankrupt me, but my child care center has become much more successful since I took the plunge!

I don’t know how many people I have tried to save or tried to work with when I know deep down, they are no longer a good fit for my preschool. I’ve learned the hard way that I must separate my professional self from my personal self and that I cannot get too personal with my employees. After all, the children must come first in the daycare environment. Know the signs when it's time to say goodbye to an employee that you don't want to let go.
