Stay Ahead To Really Get Ahead

I have finally obtained the title of Assistant Director of an Early Childhood center. I have 12.5 years of experience in Early Childhood Education teaching ages 0=12 years old. I love being creative and coordinating ideas for my staff. I want to be an inspiring leader to my staff. The challenges I face is having to repeat myself on rules and standards that should be followed. I also have the challenge of being more familiar being a teacher and knowing the challenges of their low paying job than a manager who has to oversee the center as a whole. However, I am up for the challenge and I have ideas that I would like to present to solve these problems. For example, prepare weekly memos to address issues to teachers instead of waiting a month to address them. Also, market out drop-in service to part-time and stay at home parents. I as an Assistant Director am a thinker, innovator, coordinator, and a problem solver. I have achieved my B.S degree in Child Development Psychology as a member of an online community. It is much of the same requirements that are expected in an online community under a different roof with furniture rearranged. I love expanding and learning from my fellow peers. I hope my 12.5 years of experience in Early Childhood Education will bring ideas and inspiration to my peers. Also, I do take advantage of asking for help from my peers and offering help in return. That way we can become more of a community although we reside in different states. Meanwhile, it is often a challenge working as a single mother in school to stay on top of assignments. However, at the moment I am writing this sentence it is August 28 at midnight. I am getting ahead and writing this post in a notebook only to later type it to submit. My new motto for this new school year is STAY AHEAD TO REALLY GET AHEAD.
