What does a thriving workplace culture really feel like—and how can you tell when something’s off? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian Duprey is joined by co-owner and special guest co-host Sindye Alexander to kick off a three-part series all about workplace culture in child care. Tune in as they unpack the emotional weight of leading a team in a caregiving industry—and why culture isn’t just a buzzword, but the heartbeat of your entire business.
Listen in as Brian and Sindye share what a truly positive culture looks like when it's in action: from laughing teachers and generous team spirit to shared values that guide everyday decisions. You’ll hear practical signs that your culture might be in trouble—like frequent callouts, hoarded supplies, and unspoken tensions—and why just one toxic team member can spread negativity faster than you think.
They also dive into how your core values can anchor your leadership. Sindye offers helpful examples of how to define your core values in ways that actually shape behavior, decisions, and team conversations. She paints a powerful picture of how positivity—like ripples in water—can spread throughout your center, and how defining your values can shift your entire team's mindset from "me" to "mission."
Join us for this honest, relatable, and inspiring episode that’s full of real talk and practical advice. And don’t miss the next episode where Brian and Sindye dive even deeper into hiring and leadership through the lens of culture.Tune in now and start making those ripples of positivity in your program today.
