Understanding The Balance Between Compliance and On-Boarding

Noelle D'Intino — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 19:26:12 -0400

Directors, how many times have you blamed a staff issue on onboarding — only to realize the real gap was something else entirely? In this episode, Noelle breaks down the critical difference between onboarding and compliance, and why mixing them up means you're solving the wrong problem. Onboarding teaches the what and the how. Compliance confirms it's actually happening — whether you're watching or not.

Through real scenarios (a bus driver off-protocol for a year, a teacher skipping rest time checks, staff records constantly lapsing), you'll learn how to quickly diagnose which system is broken and what to do about it. If your center is struggling with consistency, accountability, or staff not following through — this episode is your starting point.

In this episode:

What good onboarding actually covers (and what it can't fix)
Why compliance is a system, not a checklist binder
Three real-world scenarios that show exactly where the gap lives
The key questions to ask yourself when something goes wrong
Why training someone once doesn't mean the behavior is locked in

Compliance is a full-time, full-year job. Onboarding is a moment in time. Know the difference — and lead your center like you mean it.

Testing Hiring Strategies

Noelle D'Intino — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Noelle shares a staffing dilemma at her childcare center: a group of six or seven teachers with ongoing attendance and punctuality issues that persist despite meetings, warnings, and write-ups, prompting her to start hiring and potentially work some staff out. She outlines an inexpensive hiring plan before paying for ads, including rewriting and simplifying job postings with a positive culture-and-growth message, testing a free Indeed account, trying EarlyDay.com, publishing a blog about expansion and workplace culture with a link to apply, creating Canva hiring graphics, posting in local community Facebook groups, and emailing past and potential client lists for referrals, including former students returning as staff. She also offers ideas for rural programs, such as proactively partnering with local high schools to present early-education career pathways and recruiting from relevant courses.

Budget-Based Tuition Setting

Noelle D'Intino — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Noelle discusses a common question from childcare directors—how much to raise tuition—and explains that there is no universal percentage because each center’s expenses, staffing, benefits, rent, and financial goals differ. She recommends starting with a budget built from last year’s numbers, adjusting for expected changes like staff raises, rent, taxes, insurance, new programs, and extra cash flow, then calculating the revenue gap to determine the needed increase. After that, she suggests checking community rates within your specific market and positioning your center based on quality and demand so the final tuition rate balances what your budget requires with what is reasonable locally. She encourages directors to complete 2026 budgets, seek help from a CPA/bookkeeper or software, and invites listeners to join the Director’s Club for ongoing support.

Boosting Morale with Intentional Conversations

Noelle D'Intino — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Noelle talks about staff retention challenges in child care programs, including accountability, support needs across generations, and improvement that doesn’t always come from training or formal feedback. She explains how adding simple, intentional one-on-one “connection” check-ins a few times a year can shift a culture where employees only meet with leadership when something is wrong. These meetings are not evaluations or disciplinary conversations; they are protected, distraction-free time to build trust, celebrate what’s going well, surface concerns early, and understand what feels overwhelming. She outlines sample questions, key benefits such as stronger relationships, earlier problem awareness, improved morale, and higher retention, and encourages leaders to schedule check-ins consistently across the team, including assistant directors.

Onboarding Success: Building Systems for Teacher Retention

Noelle D'Intino — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:40:13 -0500

Noelle explains why teachers may struggle or quit within the first 90 days when onboarding is overwhelming or unclear. She shares how her center improved retention and confidence by breaking onboarding into day-by-day checklist sections (starting with safety), creating predictable routines, and adding quick daily check-ins from multiple leaders.

Supporting A Gossip-Free Workplace

Noelle D'Intino — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 21:00:00 -0400

Today's episode will touch upon a topic that can cause a lot of harm in the workplace, gossip. When child care center gossip goes untouched or not spoken about it can be the perfect recipe for high turnover. Even if it's just one person.

Listen to this podcast and add a gossip policy to your center and then add it to the agenda of your next staff meeting!

Connect With Candidates And New Hires To Increase Retention

Noelle D'Intino — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 12:24:52 -0400

Today's episode will help you connect with candidates. When we form a connection with someone, it begins the start of a good relationship. We do this by communicating with the candidate, and once the offer is made, with a new hire. We share things with them that we know they think before they actually come on the interview or start their first day. We predict what they may be thinking about, such as when will I get paid? what do I wear? When will my lunch be? We assist them in the transition and reduce anxiety. As that is sometimes why someone doesn't show up for the interview or the first day of work. They appreciate the support they are getting.

Listen to this podcast to communicate to your candidates and new hires to increase retention!

This Story Is A Game Changer

Noelle D'Intino — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:46:00 -0400

When you started our child are center you had a dream, or in business terms, a vision. We typically don't discuss our vision with our team, we tend to share policies, procedures, checklists, and how to's. BUT when you take the vision you have in your head of how your center operates and turn it into a story, it's a game changer. Teachers see themselves as part of the story. When an employee sees themselves as part of the story they feel more connected to the center. It's understood how things are to work at the center. Your center begins operating just how you want it and your employees feel part of it, which is a huge benefit to employee retention!

VISION QUESTIONS

Take a listen and get your story in front of your teachers!

Too Much To Do? Problem Solved!

Noelle D'Intino — Sat, 19 Mar 2022 11:54:34 -0400

There are way too many things for us to get done. Director's who get it all done can be feeling like they don't spend enough time with the things they care about like family or simply taking a minute to themselves. Others are in full blown overwhelm, always behind on paperwork or projects.

Let's end the madness, accept our jobs are busy, and learn this simple get it done practice I've been using for over 18 years!

BONUS - GET YOUR "IT" DONE!

Noelle D'Intino — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 14:08:34 -0400

I was so overwhelmed when I became an owner and an active child care center director 18 years ago. There were so many things to do, so many people needed me, and so many things needed to be fixed! Coming from a corporate background I knew I needed to figure something out to help me get the operations and business responsibilities done while having time to improve and implement fun new things. The process I use allows me to implement new things at my center and improve processes to make it better. I know this system keeps my waiting list full because when I hear how people find out about ScribbleTime and share their “why” they chose us, it’s that almost every single time. It is also a huge driver in employee retention.

Join me in my Get “IT” Done workshop being held Tuesday, March 22 – Thursday, March 24th at 2pm EST LIVE in my Facebook group. Let’s connect “in person”, bring a notebook, all your crazy ideas for your center, and leave the excuse “I don’t have time”. Things are about to change for you next week! REGISTER HERE:

The Key To Challenging Behaviors With Prerna Richards

Noelle D'Intino — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0500

I sat down and spoke with Prerna Richards of Together We Grow and I can't wait for you to listen! We discussed how a classroom is dealing with one or more challenging behaviors and how she listened and observed to support the teachers to support the students. She shares breathing techniques, communication techniques, classroom management ideas, and one of my favorites, how can I support my teachers better as a director.

When we gain more knowledge in this area it reduces stress in the classroom and provides our teachers and students with lifelong skills.

If you would like more information on how to connect with Prerna please visit her Facebook page and website, you will love connecting with her. She is brilliant at what she speaks about and is such a kind woman.

Implement What You Learn At Professional Development In 15 Minutes

Noelle D'Intino — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Episode #20 of Season 2 focuses on IMPLEMENTING professional development. We all have the requirement to take professional development each year but do we always implement it?

We get these amazing little tidbits of ideas or systems to put in place. Then we head back to our child care center, energized to move forward with it. Then we get caught up in the day to day and that training sits on the shelf. Listen to Episode #20 to help you FINALLY put all that professional development into action!

Professional Development Plans That Build Teams with BONUS Interview with Beth Cannon

Noelle D'Intino — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:56:48 -0500

Wooohoooo! Welcome to Season #2 of The Director's Club podcast!

In our first episode of the season, we help you kick off 2022 with professional development and building your team! We all have to take professional development each year. I find it beneficial to the team, center, and individuals if some of our professional development is done together.

When we all get on the same page with philosophy and process, we have a common goal to work towards together.

It not only benefits the center. It benefits the entire team. They can set and meet goals individually to learn a new skill. Together, we can celebrate successes, brainstorm when things aren’t working, and support one another. When we have implemented something new as a team we are more committed to being consistent with it as well.

As leaders, we must find ways to bring our team together towards common goals. It increases retention of our team and overall happiness working at your center. This episode will help you do just that with a plan that is simple to implement.

Then as a BONUS, I interview Beth Cannon. Beth is hosting Leadership Lounge Summit, a FREE (yes you read that right!) 4-day virtual conference in January that you could use to implement the plan in this podcast. SIGN UP HERE FOR THE FREE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE FOR DIRECTORS AND TEACHERS.
