Frequently asked questions
What is The Stay Plan?
The Stay Plan is a free 5-minute self-check for child care owners and directors. You tap through chip-based questions about your program, the four drivers that determine whether teachers stay, the leadership patterns at your program, and your pay and systems baseline. The tool returns a Stay Score from 0 to 100, a ranked view of the four drivers, and a printable one-page action plan you can post on your office wall and use day-to-day with your team.
