Stumbling Through Work

Jerek Hough

Working in education is to stumble through your everyday! We love what we do, but staff, families, policies, regulations and sometimes even the children make us quit everyday then come back the next day. Just remember, you are not in this alone.

    Don’t End Up On The News

    Send us Fan Mail Something is deeply broken when a childcare worker thinks it’s acceptable to punish a crying child with humiliation and confinement. We react to a North Carolina daycare case under investigation and say the quiet part out loud: abuse is abuse, and leadership can’t hide behind “training” or “being overwhelmed.” If you run a center, the real question isn’t only who gets fired. It’s how your environment, supervision, and staff culture either block harm or make room for it.  From there, we shift into the daily leadership habits that decide whether families trust you. If you don’t know children’s and parents’ names, you’re not building relationships, you’re managing transactions. We break down why name recognition changes child behavior, improves emotional safety, and boosts retention, plus a practical system for learning hundreds of names without excuses.  Then it gets messy in the way early childhood education always does: break room talk that a coworker repeats in front of kids, parents hearing “sugar daddy” rumors at pickup, and how to respond without oversharing or feeding gossip. We also talk daycare policies that protect everyone, like diaper requirements for non-potty-trained toddlers, hiring signals that predict chaos, and the employee classification rules that prevent benefits drama and “Brenda” situations.  If you care about daycare safety, childcare leadership, staff training, and real-world center management, hit play.
