Child Care Workshop: Beyond the Ratios
About this Event
You don't have a hiring problem.
You have a refilling problem.
You hire a teacher. You train her. She’s finally good. Then she gives two weeks — or no weeks — and you’re back to covering the classroom yourself, merging rooms, and turning away families on the waitlist.
You’re not alone. In Quality Care for Children’s 2026 Provider Pulse Check of 590 Georgia providers, 40% reported staffing shortages, half raised tuition or fees in the past year, and more than half could not meet demand for infant and toddler care.
Most owners respond by hiring faster.
That treats the symptom.
Every teacher who leaves costs you far more than the job ad — and most owners have never calculated the real number.
Free training teaches you what to do. This builds it with you.
There’s good free training out there for Georgia providers, and you should use it. This is something else.
You build, not just listen
Every tool is filled in with your own center’s numbers before you leave.
Ten seats, in person
Center owners and their directors, working side by side. No webinar, no breakout rooms.
Led by an operator
Your facilitator runs operations for growing service businesses — including childcare centers — and has spent 18+ years fixing the systems that keep owners stuck.
What You'll Walk Out With
Four things, built for your center...
Your real turnover number. We calculate it live — recruiting, overtime, coverage, substitutes, training time, lost enrollment, and the families who leave with their favorite teacher.
A structured interview scorecard. Stop hiring on gut feel. Score every candidate the same way, every time.
A hiring forecast built on your ratios. Know when you’ll need to hire before you’re desperate, and where to find people.
A 90-day onboarding plan. The first three months are when new teachers decide whether to stay. You’ll have a plan for every one of them.
Plus: the pattern behind why your teachers really leave — and what it says about what to fix next.
Bring Your Director
Systems fail when only the owner learns them.
Bring your director (or the person who’ll run the system day to day) for a discounted rate. You’ll build every tool together, so it’s in use on Monday — not sitting in your bag.
What's Included?
Workshop, printed workbook, all digital tools, breakfast, and a private 30-minute Operational Readiness Call after the workshop. If you would like to also purchase a ticket for your director(s), additional owner(s), or administrator(s), please contact us at 866-874–3647.
