About this webinar

Sponsored by LineLeader.


We all know family engagement is integral to children’s development, but It’s not always so obvious that the art and a science of family engagement is really a program-wide effort. From the classroom to the front office, every staff member has a role to play. It is also important to consider how critical family engagement is to your program’s business health and growth? Engaged families are obviously more likely to stay with their selected program, make referrals, and give glowing reviews.

If you've ever wondered how other early childhood organizations manage to train staff, get everyone on the same page, and engage families - all while scaling their businesses - join us to hear how a multi-site child care organization's COO with her staff, retained both families and staff, with less work than most single-site operators.

This exciting webinar, presented by Lisa Henkel, CFE and Mike Hook will inspire you with insights from real executives and ECE leaders to empower and equip your staff with the knowledge, support, and systems they need to help you reach all your business goals. You will learn strategies to not only retain families, but also to build reliable team members. In this webinar, you will learn:

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn:

  • The most important (and easy to implement) ECE best practices to engage families.

  • How to uncover your employee's deepest motivations and what drives them to want to succeed.

  • The latest strategies for setting clear staff objectives and expectations so they can be all-in on your center's success.

  • How to share constructive feedback with your team, build trust, and foster collaboration among your staff.
