About
Staffing is one of the most important responsibilities of early childhood leadership. Staffing for Success, led by Professor Michelle, is a practical online course for program directors, child care administrators, preschool leaders, and education leaders who want to build and keep a strong team. Drawing from real-world experience leading a university laboratory school and supervising educators, Professor Michelle walks you through the full staffing cycle, from writing effective job descriptions and recruiting candidates to interviewing, reference checks, and selecting people who fit your program culture. You’ll also learn how to showcase your center during hiring, create a smooth onboarding and orientation process, coach and mentor staff, strengthen workplace culture, and reduce turnover with intentional retention strategies. By the end, you’ll have a clear, actionable approach to staffing that supports better outcomes for children, families, and your organization. Invest in your people and build the thriving program your community deserves.
