Behaviors! If you know children, you know what these are. In this episode we sit down with Ellen Olson, a Subject Educator for the Child Care Council, New York State TTAP Credential as PDS and Coach and NYS Pyramid Model Master Cadre Trainer! Talk about an expert! Ellen has a unique twist on two common things - challenging behaviors of children and the bottom line of your business. In our discussion we not only look at this view, but find ways to make a 'return on investment' in the children we care for.
