What does it take to be in a successful relationship? My late father-in-law once asked. Love, respect, loyalty, care, kindness, my husband and I listed off all the typical responses. But he reminded us that the key ingredient is having two parties who want to be in it. Everything else falls into place.
Each year, as my work anniversary approaches, I’m filled with emotions. I think of my “why” and it’s simple: I'm invested in KinderCare as it's invested in me. Here’s my anniversary letter to you, KLC (KLC friends)💌:
Happy Anniversary! It's been 11 amazing years of growth and celebration. You growing by the hundreds in sites and centers and me finding different ways to create a bigger impact. We make such a great team! I still remember when my email domain was CCLC and being 1 out 6 Champions partners at the 2014 Spark Summit- we've come a long way.
How proud were we after our program was NAEYC reaccreditated or when our teacher won the Legacy Award? It still brings me to a smile thinking about our record-breaking year in 2019 opening 100 new sites. Our partnership strengthened in 2020 pivoting from supporting the employee hotline to staffing regions that remained opened. And recently, you’ve entrusted me to lead our dedicated recruiters as we staff for new center openings, acquisitions, and new sites. You would not believe the talent we have on this team. It’s been a wild ride, my friend!
Cheers to another amazing year, KinderCare! Let's see what other magic 🪄 ⚡️ we can create together. #WorkAnniversary #KinderCare #Celebration
