 In this episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, we’re joined by the fabulous Nicole Rich Bryne—a veteran educator who’s been guiding families through early intervention and special ed like a total pro. Nicole brings her no-fluff wisdom on leading with heart, navigating tricky transitions, and building real-deal relationships with local schools. She dives into how to communicate with families (not at them), why documentation matters more than you think, and how self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s leadership. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, confidence, and a clear sense of helpfulness, this episode is your go-to guide for supporting families, empowering your team, and keeping your cool through it all.
