What a whirlwind the Miami Mastermind conference was! Held on July 19th and 20th at the gorgeous Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Miami, this year’s event was all about connections, hands-on learning, and strategies for childcare business owners. The beautiful setting made it easy to relax and focus on what really matters: running a successful childcare business for the children in our care and the employees from our community.
Our Dynamic Duo on Site
We had our fantastic team on site: Jessica Wright, our Executive Vice President of Operations, and Angela LaVecchia, our Director of Business Development. Jessica took center stage with her much-anticipated presentation on managing crises in childcare businesses. Here are some key takeaways from her talk on managing crises in childcare businesses:- Be Prepared: Jessica stressed the importance of having a crisis management plan. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a health scare, or any unexpected event, having a plan can make all the difference.
- Clear Communication: During a crisis, keeping everyone informed is crucial. Jessica emphasized the need for transparent communication with staff, parents, and the community.
- Empower Your Team: Equip your team with the skills and knowledge they need to handle crises confidently. Regular training and drills can help everyone stay calm and effective under pressure.
- Maintain Trust: Trust is everything in this business. Being honest and transparent during a crisis helps maintain the trust parents place in your care.
- Learn and Adapt: After a crisis, take the time to review what happened, what worked, and what didn’t. Use those lessons to improve your plans for the future.
Connecting with Fellow Childcare Owners
We absolutely loved connecting with other childcare owners and operators at the conference. In our industry, lifting each other up is so important, and that spirit was definitely alive in Miami. We enjoyed thoughtful discussions about our experiences and lessons learned, building a supportive community that will continue to grow. The CBG team was incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that everyone felt welcome. What really stood out was the unwavering commitment of the owners present. They’re not just focused on the business side of things; they genuinely care about the well-being and development of their students. This passion was evident in every discussion and interaction. A hot topic at the conference was the challenge of delegation, especially for smaller business owners. Many attendees shared that letting go and trusting others with key tasks can be tough. However, learning to delegate effectively is crucial for growth and allows owners to focus on the bigger picture.
Shout-Out to Sponsors
Sponsors received plenty of attention both on social media and at the event itself. The booths were busy during every break, and their contributions to the childcare community were genuinely appreciated. It was clear that everyone, from sponsors to attendees, shared the same goal: providing the best possible care and education for children.Looking Forward
Leaving the conference, we felt inspired looking forward in the ECE world. It was a fantastic reminder of the passion and dedication that drives childcare business owners. The insights gained and the connections made will undoubtedly help everyone in their journey towards providing top-notch childcare. The Miami Mastermind conference was a huge success. It was a blend of learning, networking, and sharing that left everyone feeling more prepared and motivated. Here’s to all the amazing childcare business owners and the incredible work they do every day! We can’t wait for the next opportunity to come together and continue this journey of growth.
