In this episode, Carla sits down with Paul Buckley, former preschool teacher and founder of Ratio Staffing, to explore what’s really happening behind staffing challenges in early childhood education.
Paul shares how burnout, outdated systems, and unnecessary barriers are affecting educators and programs and how a more human-centred, child-centred approach can change everything.
This conversation is filled with insight, compassion, and practical ideas for supervisors, directors, and educators who want to strengthen retention, improve support systems, and create healthier environments for staff and children.
