Building a Resilient Team in Early Childcare: Strategies for Staffing, Onboarding, and Retention Success

Join Aleta Mechtel, Founder of The Teachers For Tomorrow, for an essential webinar tackling one of the biggest challenges in early childcare—building and keeping a strong, dependable team.

Aleta Mechtel has spent 20+ years in early childhood education as a kindergarten teacher, director, and former childcare center owner of 13 years. In October 2012, after living the daily pain of staffing a center, she founded Teachers for Tomorrow, a substitute teacher placement company now serving childcare programs across the Minneapolis Twin Cities. She holds a B.A. in Elementary Education with a kindergarten concentration from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and coaches child care leaders nationwide on building resilient, well-staffed programs.
