In this week’s episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, host Erica Saccoccio dives deep into one of the most overlooked leadership skills — creating an environment where questions aren’t just tolerated, but valued.

Inspired by John Maxwell’s wisdom — “Before you can make things right, make sure you see them right” — Erica challenges leaders to stop rushing for answers and start cultivating curiosity in their teams. When we value questions more than answers, we open the door to creativity, collaboration, and trust.

You’ll learn how to:
 ✅ Build a culture where curiosity thrives
 ✅ Value each team member’s perspective and potential
 ✅ Recognize the power of a good idea, no matter where it comes from
 ✅ Model humility and openness in your own leadership

And don’t miss this week’s sponsor spotlight — Jackrabbit Care, the childcare management system that’s winning hearts (and saving centers from tech headaches). If your current software had parents lighting up Facebook yesterday because they couldn’t pay tuition, it’s time for a change. Jackrabbit Care is so confident you’ll love their platform, they’ll buy you lunch when you book your free demo. (Link below!)

This episode is your reminder that great leaders don’t have all the answers — they ask the right questions. Tune in and learn how to create a space where innovation, trust, and motivation grow naturally.

🎧 Press play — your next breakthrough might start with one simple question.
