As we embark on a new normal amidst COVID 19 in childcare programs, we look for effective ways to establish strategies that support a cohesive team culture within early childhood settings. Gain a clear understanding of each team members' communications style, create individual and program goals, and develop a team mission statement. Learning the importance of setting aside time to connect with each team member to support their daily practice. Understand the power of reflection and the importance of acknowledging team effort on a regular basis. These are all effective management strategies that support teamwork. With self –reflection built into the session educators and directors alike will walk away with tools to implement into their practice and creative ways to support and motivate one another.
