Why Accountability Matters in Childcare
A lack of accountability in any business can lead to frustration, inefficiency, and even burnout. In the childcare world, it’s even more critical. When teachers and staff aren’t aligned, it impacts the quality of care, parent trust, and overall business success.Brett Neller shared how accountability is about creating a culture where everyone understands expectations, takes ownership, and moves together toward shared goals.

Key Takeaways from the Webinar
Brett walked us through some practical, easy-to-implement strategies that any childcare business owner can use to create an accountable, high-performing team. Here are some of the highlights:- Build a Clear Operating Model
Ever feel like your team is pulling in different directions? That’s a sign you need a strong operating model. Brett emphasized that every childcare center needs a clear structure for decision-making, communication, and daily operations. When your team understands how the business runs, they can take ownership of their roles with confidence. - Set Up an Operations Calendar
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day chaos of running a childcare center. Without a solid plan, things start to slip through the cracks. Brett introduced the idea of an operations calendar—a structured way to keep your entire team aligned and moving in the same direction. By following an operations calendar, your team will always know what’s coming next, and there won’t be any surprises! - Define Your Mission, BHAG, and Rally Cry
Brett introduced a powerful framework to help business owners create a sense of purpose and direction for their teams:- Mission: Why does your childcare center exist beyond just providing care?
- BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal): A long-term, ambitious goal that drives motivation.
- Rally Cry: The immediate focus that everyone should be working toward right now.
How to Apply These Strategies in Your Childcare Center
It’s one thing to hear great ideas, it’s another to put them into action. Here are a few simple ways you can start building a culture of accountability today:- Hold a Team Meeting: Share your vision, operating model, and goals with your staff. Get their input and make sure they feel involved.
- Create a Simple Ops Calendar: Start small – maybe just a weekly checklist of key tasks. Gradually build it out to cover the entire year.
- Set Clear Expectations: Make sure every team member knows their responsibilities. Have job descriptions that outline key roles and performance expectations.
- Recognize & Reward Accountability: When staff take ownership and step up, acknowledge it! A simple “thank you” or small incentives can go a long way.
