I train new childcare staff on sign-in, pickup and handoffs
Tell me which routine your director explains most often. I turn your handbook, sign-in and pickup steps, daily report and room handoff into lessons and a card for the door. Your director checks each new hire on a real pickup. Licensing courses, CPR, first aid, ratios and state safety rules stay with your director.
Sign-in, pickup, parent messages and handoffs from your handbook. Licensing, CPR and ratios stay with your director.
State-required training stays with approved programs
Your director decides who is ready

Before you start
What working with me takes
You send
Your parent handbook, pickup procedure and closing checklist, or a voice note of your director describing a normal day.
You get
Lessons for each routine, a pickup card for the door and sample parent messages, then a pickup your director watches.
Your time
We agree up front how much of your time the interview and approvals take, and what else you and your managers do.
Who helps
I prepare the materials. My team sets me up, supports your account and runs your demo. A person confirms every meeting and every payment.
Example · pickup card, childcare center
Releasing a child at pickupDraft for your approval
One page by the sign-in sheet · from your pickup procedure
Greet the adult and ask for the child's name
Find the adult on the authorized pickup list and check photo ID
Sign the child out with the time and your initials
Tell the lead teacher the child has left
Stop and call the director if the adult is not on the list. Never release the child.

Roles I start with
The routines around the classroom
Your director and I check this list first. I start with the routine parents notice before anything else.
Assistant teacher
Sign-in, the room's daily rhythm and the handoff when a shift changes, from your handbook.
Lead teacher
Daily reports and parent messages written the way your center writes them.
Front door and reception
Checking the authorized pickup list, and what to do when an adult isn't on it.
Floater and substitute
One page for each room, so a floater knows its routine on the first visit.
Enrollment and office
Tours, enrollment questions and the welcome packet for new families.
Director
Your opening and closing routine written down, so an assistant director can use it to manage the day.
How I take it on
Childcare training for your center's routines, room by room
1
The routine parents see first
Tell me the role you hire, the classroom and the week the new person starts.
2
Your handbook and your words
The parent handbook, pickup procedure and closing checklist, or a recording of your director describing a normal day.
3
Two layers kept apart
Training your state requires stays with approved programs. I build only the layer that belongs to your center, and each lesson says so.
4
A card at the door
Lessons and one page that hangs by the sign-in sheet. Your director approves every piece.
5
Messages to parents
Sample daily reports and messages in your center's tone, with a note on what goes to the director instead.
6
A pickup watched
Your director stands beside the new hire for a real pickup and decides when they handle the door alone.
Example
A toddler room opens in August
You said: "We open a toddler room next month and hire four assistants, and I can't stand at the door with each of them." I start with pickup. Example · 1 center, 5 classrooms
Jul 7Your director walks me through sign-in and pickup
Jul 9Pickup card and daily report lessons drafted
Jul 10Your director approves and marks two topics as state training
Jul 14Assigned to four new assistant teachers
Jul 21Practice handoffs in the toddler room
Aug 1Real pickup watched: your director decides who handles the door alone
For families who speak Spanish at home
If some parents read Spanish, I prepare the daily report phrases and the pickup reminder in both languages, so a new assistant writes to each family the way your center does.
English
Spanish
Both, per family
What stays with you
Licensing and pre-service courses, CPR and first aid stay with the programs your state approves
Ratios and the child-safety rules your state sets stay with your director
Children's names, photos and records stay out of lessons
Who you hire, and when each person is alone with a group, is your decision
