Thank you to the National Family Child Care Association for an incredible time in Chicago!

The conversations, connections, and sense of community were truly second to none. I leave this experience inspired, energized, and beyond humbled to have been surrounded by some of the very best early childhood professionals in the country.

Thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge, passion, and commitment to advancing family child care. It was an honor to learn alongside you, exchange ideas, and be reminded of the impact we make every day in the lives of children and families.

I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity to reconnect. Until then, let's keep advocating, leading, and lifting one another up. 💙 #NFCCA #FamilyChildCare #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ECE #ChildCareProfessionals Grateful Chicago by @ccdcpodcast

I've learned that betting on yourself has a bigger ROI than you can imagine.

It's scary sometimes. It's uncomfortable. And if I'm being honest, the hardest part usually isn't the opportunity—it's getting out of our own way.

If you're an educator who's been sitting on ideas, wisdom, or a desire to make a bigger impact, this is your reminder to stop waiting until everything feels perfect.

The people you're meant to help don't need you to have it all figured out. They just need you to start.

If this resonates with you, type CONNECT in the comments.

I'd love to hear your story, what you've been dreaming about, and where you feel stuck. Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to help you see what's possible.

Betting on yourself might feel like a risk, but it just might be the best investment you ever. by @ccdcpodcast

Stories have a way of reminding us that we're never as alone as we think.

Every conversation, every shared moment, every person who has trusted me with a piece of their journey has left a mark on my own. It's a privilege I never take for granted—to listen, to learn, and, when invited, to help those stories be seen and heard.

This community continues to inspire me with its honesty, courage, vulnerability, and resilience. Thank you for showing up, for sharing your hearts, and for trusting me to be part of your journey.

There is so much power in stories. They connect us, heal us, challenge us, and remind us of our shared humanity. I'm endlessly grateful to witness them and to share this space with all of you. 🤍

Everyone says childcare has a staffing crisis.

But what if that's only part of the problem?

What if the bigger challenge is that we're not intentionally developing the next generation of leaders inside our programs?

Join Erica Saccoccio, multi-site childcare owner and host of the Childcare Director's Chair Podcast, for an eye-opening session that explores why leadership development—not just hiring—may be the key to creating stronger, more stable teams.

You'll leave with practical strategies to:
• Identify future leaders already on your team
• Build leadership without increasing payroll
• Create cross-training that strengthens your entire program
• Turn everyday responsibilities into leadership opportunities
