Have you ever had that sinking feeling when one of your favorite teachers sits down in your office and tells you they're thinking about leaving? In this episode, Noelle shares the wake-up call conversation that completely changed how she approached culture at ScribbleTime—and how you can avoid the same mistakes that almost cost her an amazing teacher. 

You'll discover why culture isn't something that just happens (it's created through your daily systems), how gossip and workplace tension are actually symptoms of deeper operational issues, and the simple assessment questions that will help you figure out exactly where your culture stands right now. 

Whether you're dealing with stressed-out staff, high turnover, or that underlying tension you can't quite put your finger on, this episode gives you practical, actionable steps to start transforming your workplace culture today. Plus, Noelle breaks down her morning momentum routine and explains why small, consistent changes create the biggest cultural shifts. 

If you're tired of feeling like you're running a daycare battlefield instead of the positive learning environment you dreamed of, this episode is for you. Because the truth is, when your teachers feel supported and empowered, everything else—from parent satisfaction to your own sanity—starts falling into place.
