The 3 C's Code of Conduct: Compassionate, Practical and Updated. How often have we browsed through a school or childcare center's website or handbook, only to give the code of conduct a glance? Ever found yourself pondering whether those well-phrased standards truly come to life within the institution? If your experiences mirror mine, you'll agree that too many educational materials seem archaic or, worse, misleading. Reflecting on my tenure as an Executive Director of a childcare program that catered to over 200 families seeking dependable, high-quality care, I take pride in having implemented, alongside my team, a code of conduct that not only accommodates multiple life contexts but is fundamentally inclusive. More importantly, it thrives on unconditional positive regard for one another, proving to be both effective in its clarity and practical in its application. Let's delve into 'The 3 C's' that form the core of this approach. 1. Care for Self - This principle is too often overshadowed and neglected. Yet, self-care is the bedrock of developing and maintaining healthy social interactions, both within the community and with oneself. 2. Care for Others - Positioning self-care as a key principle of personal conduct paves the way for more seamless and impactful care for others. By embracing each other with unconditional positive regard, our community of learners flourishes, brimming with self-confidence to explore, embody authenticity, and embrace appropriate risks. 3. Care for the Environment - This final 'C' ties everything together, underscoring our collective stewardship of the shared spaces that facilitate our unique life journeys. For a time, this communal setting transforms into a sacred laboratory of learning—a haven for daydreaming, exploration, and the full spectrum of our emotional selves. By reimagining the traditional code of conduct through 'The 3 C's,' we're not just setting standards; we're nurturing an environment of inclusion, social responsibility, and empathy at its core. Let's champion these values and redefine what it means to be a part of a learning community. Feel free to bring this to your learning space and consider implementation! #earlychildhoodeducation #learninganddevelopment #codeofconduct #compassionatecare #traumainformedcare #inclusionmatters

Here's a market analysis on the childcare industry, specifically the babysitter/nanny sub-segment. This topic is very close to me and I enjoyed pouring my time and energy into developing this short case study. I studied conversations from ~25 young working mothers precariously balancing work, childcare, home and family commitments (not to mention my own firsthand experiences), to develop the insights that drove this case study. Please read and share your thoughts! This marks the end of my Learn in Public challenge, where I worked on 5 case studies to help me build my skills as an aspiring product manager.

To all the school age parents trying to cram as much in this week before you loose child care for two weeks (AKA school vacation starts here in Amsterdam) Anyone feeling the pressure? Three things I’m going to try and stay focused on this week. 1. Prioritize Communication: I'm making sure to keep my collaborators in the loop about my upcoming childcare challenges. Transparent communication allows us to work together effectively and support each other through this busy time. 2. Practice Self-Compassion: Amidst the chaos of preparing for school break, I'm reminding myself to be gentle and kind. Taking breaks, delegating tasks, and asking for help when needed are crucial for maintaining my well-being. 3. Embrace Flexibility: With changes in childcare looming, I'm staying flexible and prepared to adjust my schedule and expectations. Being adaptable allows me to navigate unexpected challenges with resilience and grace, making the transition smoother for my family and me. If none of the above work, just DM me and we can have a good ol’ vent together.
