Navigate ECE PR Crises with Real-World Experience

PR crises in the ECE world often arise unexpectedly, beyond the control of childcare owners/operators, impacting their reputation and operations. These scenarios are not uncommon:

  • A parent discovers a pacifier taped in their baby’s mouth.
  • CPS investigates molestation allegations against a teacher.
  • The Department of Health alerts about a contagious illness among staff and children.
  • Media seeks comments on a fatal accident involving a school employee.

These incidents can trigger various challenges:

  • Staff morale declines, leading to resignations.
  • Negative media coverage damages your school’s reputation.
  • Parents withdraw their children from enrollment.

In such crises, common responses – like legal advisories to “say nothing” and inadequate PR support – fall short. Rushed decisions in hiring PR firms may worsen outcomes. Childcare owners need a proactive crisis management plan to navigate these challenges effectively.
