Welcome, @Barbara Borders ! We're so happy to see our group growing, and this is a great week to get to know everybody. Check out the calendar and add our live Collaboration Corner to your schedule if you can this week (1pm Wednesday EST). There's a pinned post with the recording from our last Collaboration Corner if anyone is curious! Also @everyone check out the "Start Here" under the Classroom tab for a tour and a welcome from Katherine and me, as well as the first video from The ULTIMATE Preschool Playbook. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Think of this space as our gathering spot—where preschool administrators can pause for a moment, exhale, and connect about what really matters: supporting your teachers, your families, and the children who fill your center with life. We know that being a director can sometimes feel isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people all day. This is a space for real conversations about the daily wins, challenges, and decisions that shape your center’s culture and your team’s wellbeing. We’re so glad you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you Please introduce yourself and share a bit about your world—your center, your leadership journey, what lights you up about early childhood, or what you’re hoping to learn and share here. Together, we’ll build a community that reminds us we’re not alone—and that leadership can be joyful, grounded, and deeply connected.
