Carla Ward is an early childhood educator who founded Early Learning Foundations in 2008. She is a certified Wonder-based educator with a background in behavior management and she believes learning goes beyond the classroom. She also hosts her own podcast, “The Everything ECE Podcast.”

 She was born in South Africa and now lives in Ontario, Canada, and has been fascinated by the way people learn for as long as she can remember.

In this podcast, Carla discusses how to lead a team … everything from leading staff meetings to supporting your team.

In this podcast, she discusses: 

• Why staff meetings should be held once a month, and not more frequently (and the perfect food to serve during them!)
• The importance of asking staff for their input
• The benefits of closing your center for an entire day, twice a year, for professional development
• Doing a yearly survey to learn the professional goals of your staff 
• How a book study is beneficial (one book every three months)
• Why supervisors need to carve out time for themselves
• And more!
