The Current Climate in FDC

After nearly 12 months away from the mic, I'm back.....and I have a lot I want to share with you. This episode is for every educator and service coordinator who has been watching the landscape shift and wondering: is this the end of family daycare? The short answer is no. But it IS a season of change, and the way you move through it will determine whether you're still standing on the other side. In this episode I talk openly about what I'm seeing across the sector right now, more service closures than I've witnessed in 14 years, the financial pressures behind them, and why it's not a reflection on you or the work that you do. I also share what I believe separates the services and educators who will survive this season from those who won't, and it might not be what you expect. This is real talk, with love, for the profession I care deeply about.
