Recently I was asked how I manage vacations in my childcare business.

I've worked for years in childcare and realised I'm a workaholic 🤦🏾‍♀️ and I need to take breaks.

I can imagine you may be the same!

I talked through some key things I do in my business to make sure the team and I get a break that accommodates my families.

#Nyckiesays Keep holidays simple

Holidays and closures can be a little tricky for a daycare business, particularly small ones.

One thing I recommend is keeping as much consistency as possible with how you do your vacations.

Try keep to the same dates each year. Plan your closures out as far in advance as possible and let your parents know by the end of the year for the following one.

Give parents as much notice as you can to help them plan how they’ll cover the times that you’re shut in your childcare business.

Vacation looks different for everyone but what’s worked for me is closing my child care center for a full week.

That allows my team to get in a week of relaxation and renewal even if they stay at home.

When you’ve got a great team who are fully behind the business, they may not take much time off and only be off if they're sick. So it’s one way to make sure your team gets some rest and a break.

From November I’m telling my parents that we’ll be shut for that week in August, so they have months to plan out. I also send reminders in that time.

Often the families also choose their break then or the children go to family members like Grandparents as it’s summer time in the US.

In doing so we’ve been blessed to make sure our team gets rest and renewal and it’s simple for our parents as it’s consistent. They also get plenty of time to plan how and where their children go for that one week.

I think when you break things down and think about things prior to, and plan, when you sit down and do that it gives you the ability to make decisions calmly.

When you have an awesome team one way of taking care of them is to make sure they take vacation.

I know I was a hard worker all my life, not taking vacation until my kids were well into their teens and it made me realise I’d worked really really hard for everyone else.

If I think of the untaken days and rack that up it’s really really crazy!

It was something I had to think about for the team I have, Making sure they have a chance for rest and rejuvenation.

Your team makes your childcare successful so take care of your them!

Did you make a vision board back in January?

Life has changed so much this year that I recommend you refresh your vision board for the rest of the year!

I believe vision boards can be such a powerful tool in goal setting, especially for a business.

I'm super excited that Siobhan Strode from @thissisterscribes wrote a guest post on the blog about 'Why your business needs a vision board'

You've probably realised the theme this week is goals and vision boards!

I’ve been sharing about it over the week and in last night’s Facebook live video. (If you want to join the free group checkout the link in bio)

I think vision boards really do make a difference and are a great partner to written goals.

I'm super excited to have guest blogger Siobhan Strode from @thissisterscribes share on Vision boards and why creating a vision board will help you grow your business!

You’ve got to check out the blog she's kindly written for this weeks post and when your board is done tag us here on Instagram with your vision boards @thissisterscribes

#Nyckie don’t lose sight of your goals

We’ve been in a bit of a whirlwind these last few months.

Life and business has been turned upside down and the 2020 we were envisioning back in January has totally changed!

2020 has had a rough start but now what happens to those goals?

I want you to relook at your visions and goals for the rest of 2020 and not be so discouraged by how it started off.

Don’t let what’s happened so far cause you to stop looking ahead.

In looking ahead I thought it was a good idea for me to redo my vision board this week.

I’ll be sharing it with my facebook group when I go live this thursday evening at 8pm.

So I really want to encourage you to not lose sight of your goals and one way to do that is refine and redesign your vision boards for 2020!

I’d love to see them, tag me on your post or stories or tell me in the comments what’s on yours!

Lockdown really showed the world how essential child care is!

Parents across the world found out first hand how hard it is to take care of kids, educate them and get your day job done.

We were then declared as essential workers in the U.S.A, which was about time!

I shared my thoughts on this on my latest blog post

How do you feel about it? Has it changed the way you perceive your business or your mindset around it? Are you taking it more seriously?

Now that we're essential, how does it feel to be recognized?

I've been thinking about this a lot, and have shared my thoughts over on the latest blog post.

I'd love to open up the conversation...

How have you felt about your business, did you feel that childcare was essential work before? or a 'nice to have' for parents?

I've met business owner with views at both ends, and everything in-between.

I'd love to know your thoughts too.

#Nyckiesays we were always essential!

Here in the U.S.A childcare services have been declared ‘essential services’. Before that we weren’t being considered as such, so a lot of daycares and services had to close over lockdown.

Childcare providers have now been classed as essential workers and essential to the economy.

There’s been a realisation that working from home isn't easy with children in tow.

Now we’re considered as essential there have been grants and loans made available to help daycares and childcare providers to help keep businesses afloat.

Now I was just kind of wondering what do you think about that?

How do you feel about this change?

Personally I've always considered us to be essential because without us parents and guardians can’t do what they need to do to provide for their families.

I wanted to know where people sat in this, just because we officially have that title of essential does it make you feel any different in how you run your business?

Are you looking for ways to change now you have officially gotten that title, do you feel different in your mindset now that you're not being deemed as just the babysitter? Because now society is looking at us different now and saying we need them.

Does that make a difference to you and if so how?

Is it changing the way you view your business, or your mindset about running childcare services now that society is saying your work is essential and important?

Are you finding that you feel different about what you do, or want to run things in a more professional way?

I'd Love to know your opinions!

Trust. It’s one of those reciprocal things in life isn’t it?

We’ve got to give it to receive it. Often, as childcare owners, we think about the trust parents give us when they leave their babies in our care.

But trust is also something we need to foster with our team!

One of the things that's has helped me develop trust with my team is they know they are backed up!

My team has my full support and I don't let children or the parents overstep them.

My team feel empowered to make decisions and know that I have their backs.

It's a key thing I want you to encourage you to develop with your childcare business.

#Nyckiesays Teams need trust! It’s so very impo

#Nyckiesays Teams need trust!

It’s so very important that our team trusts us and that we can trust our team.

I think that one way to do this is showing your team that you have their back and that you respect them.

A way to show this is not allowing your children or parents to circumvent your team members.

One of the examples I can think of was a child that had come up to me when I was walking through the facility coming from my office.

They asked me can they go to the bathroom?

On the surface it seemed very innocent, I said to her, “well sweetie why didn’t she ask one of the other 3 teachers in the room at the time?”

She said to me very bluntly and quickly ‘because you’re the boss and you own the daycare’.

I thought about it for the moment, then I redirected her to her immediate authority which was one of the teachers in the room.

Situations like that on the surface seem so innocent and small but over time they can build up discourse within your daycare business if you allow it to continue.

Things like that happen with children because they have watched adults do it sometimes, so you have to be very consistent about setting up systems for things to happen a certain way in your daycare.

Otherwise things creep in and become a huge problem later on because your staff don't feel as though they are being respected.

When you don't have respect, you don’t have trust! So it’s a very important thing to implement it in your day care!

Have you got any team building tips of your own? Let me know!

#nyckiesays automate your marketing⁣
⁣
We sometimes get stuck on the idea that we have to be on every platform that’s out there to be successful. ⁣
⁣
I’m learning and have learnt that’s NOT true! ⁣
⁣
It’s actually much better when you pick the platforms that you’re comfortable with and focus on those. ⁣
⁣
Secondly pick the one where your parents and potential clients are on. ⁣
⁣
If they’re on facebook then focus on that, if they’re on Instagram or Tik tok then go focus there.⁣
⁣
As there’s soooo many platforms now and social media can be absolutely crazy these days, you’re just going to lose time and be so frustrated if you try jump on them all and be everywhere as that takes time to do.⁣
⁣
Unless you’ve got someone to do that (which you usually don’t when you’re starting out) it’s best to choose the 1 or 2 you know how to work, that your ideal clients are already on.⁣
⁣
Then you can start automating your content for those. ⁣
⁣
For more ideas on how to automate on the platforms and specific tips on doing that look out for this week’s blog post which is going to share more on how to make it easier to get your marketing done with a system. ⁣
⁣
Whether that is your blog post or your social media platform, putting together a system to automate almost all of that (outside of writing it of course) is the way to go to make your marketing super simple and less stressful!⁣
