So, you got promoted… or maybe voluntold 😅… and now you’re the boss. The clipboard is in your hand, everyone’s looking at you for answers, and all you can think is:
“Wait… I’m the leader now?!”
Whewww, deep breath, trailblazer — this episode is for you.
In this power-packed (and totally sassy 💁♀️) episode of The Child Care Director’s Chair, host Erica Saccoccio gets real about what it means to step into leadership in the early childhood education world. We’re talking about:
✨ How to transition from peer to authority without feeling fake
✨ Ditching imposter syndrome like last season’s clearance scrubs
✨ Creating a personal leadership vibe that’s all you
✨ Why consistency is your best friend (even on Mondays)
✨ And the tea on the new ECE Trailblazers Coaching Program coming this July 👏👏👏
Whether you’re a teacher assistant eyeing the lead role, a director ready to step into ownership, or an ECE boss looking to scale — this is the episode that says, “Hey queen, you can lead and still be yourself.”
Hit play, grab your iced coffee, and let’s talk about stepping into your power like the trailblazing childcare leader you were born to be.
Because leadership isn’t about a title — it’s about owning the room, raising the bar, and rocking that walkie-talkie with confidence.
