In this episode, Kelly Matthews and Paula Drew of the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association describe how to create a family handbook for your child care center. This handbook is key to your bottom line, your reputation and ultimately, your business. They give the following writing tips:Use a consistent font and formatting throughout. Review carefully for correct spelling and grammar. Write in plain language that is easy to understand. Do you serve families who speak languages other than English? If so, invest in getting your policies translated and remember this step every time you update them.  Make your documents easy to navigate with page numbers and a table of contents. Ensure they include all state-required policies and reflect every aspect of your programming. Include a "last updated" date so readers know the information is current. They also walk through how to organize a handbook and how to avoid the biggest mistakes they see when directors and owners create handbooks.Want to learn more about the work Kelly and Paula are doing?

Join us on this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast as Brian and Carol chat with Latisha Moore, a child care business owner from Washington, North Carolina, who chose to write her own story—one of growth, purpose, and impact. She was a high school dropout and teen mom who heard plenty of people tell her what she couldn't do. But instead of accepting the negative labels and assumptions that often come with that title, Latisha pushed forward and built a life of service, leadership, and success. Tune in as she shares her incredible journey—from working in mental health and opening a residential facility for girls to launching a thriving child care center licensed for 240 children. With no previous experience in the industry, Latisha followed her curiosity and calling to understand why so many young children needed behavioral support—and built a center that supports the whole child and the whole family. Now, as a proud child care center owner, Latisha continues to grow her business and her legacy with the support of Child Care Genius University. She credits the individualized coaching and community as a game-changer—helping her put systems in place, scale faster, and lead with confidence. Her story is a reminder that no matter where you start, with the right support and mindset, you can build something extraordinary.

Samantha Phillips is an insurance broker who specializes in insuring child care centers, a job that is especially tough this days as ECE businesses struggle to find and keep insurance. Costs are soaring. Samantha said she has a client in Massachusetts whose insurance DOUBLED, from $25,000 a year to $50,000 a year .. and the client had never filed a claim.  And paying that amount was the client's only option.That's just one example Samantha shares during this podcast. She also gives examples of court verdicts and settlements stemming from cases in child care centers that are affecting premiums, as well as how licensing inspections are playing a role in skyrocketing costs.Samantha also gives tips on how to keep your current insurance, which is getting harder and harder to do, as well as what you can do to shop around to try to find lower prices.  One such tip is to write an insurance narrative to show that you have a strong management team and that your approach to protecting your property is proactive rather than reactive.

Shelley Delahoussaye, Supervisor of the Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center, joins Discover Lafayette to share her passion and love of animals and how the animal shelter works to save as any animals as possible while searching for loving and safe environments for them. A graduate of UL - Lafayette, Shelley earned a bachelor's degree in Animal Science. After working in private vet clinics, she was hired in 2017 by the Lafayette Animal Shelter as an Adoption, Foster, and Rescue Coordinator. One year later, she was promoted to Shelter Supervisor. She has always had a passion for animals. Prior to Shelley's leadership, the save rate for dogs was 47% and cats a low 9%. In 2016 when former Mayor-President Joel Robideaux ran for office, he campaigned on the idea of NO-Kill 2020, an initiative to which he dedicated focus and support to make it happen. Through changes made under Shelley's supervision, the shelter achieved a 90.3% save rate by 2020, and has maintained that rate ever since. Even with this success, there is still a continuing glut of stray animals in our community and the work of Lafayette Animal Shelter is critical. Pictured above is the beautiful Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Facility. Designed by Architects Beasley Moliere, the front entrance is separated into two wings: the surrender side and the adoption side. While Shelley originally questioned this decision, she quickly realized how important it is to keep the interactions separate. "The Surrender side is sad, with frantic owners looking for their pets. The Adoption side is happy, with people looking for a pet to love and care for." Prior to COVID, other states around the country would take many of our stray animals as there was a shortage of pets. Nationally, there is a trend of more responsible pet ownership and laws enforcing spay/neuter, as well as restrictions on breeders as to how many animals can be bred and how often, thus reducing the overpopulation. But now post-COVID, the shelters around the U. S. are also full and can't take our strays. "It's important to get to the root of the stray population, which is access to low-cost spay and neuter. Wild Cat SpayNation for dogs and cats is the only nonprofit low-cost spay/neuter provider that services all of Acadiana. They can only do so much. Many people want to do better by their pets but can't afford it. Please donate to them!" Lafayette Animal Shelter takes in approximately 5000 animals each year. And they get in not only dogs and cats, but potbellied pigs, goats, horses, cattle, bunnies and chickens. Shelley joked that recently her team nicknamed the facility "Old MacDonald's Farm" because of the variety of barnyard animals they took in. Luckily that week they found homes for 10 chickens, 3 potbellied pigs, 3 goats, and a horse! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34TI_obzQj8 Shelley Delahoussaye on how to prepare adequately for your pet's safety as a storm or hurricane approaches. Adopted animals are neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped before you take them home. "It's a great deal," Shelley says, and "The animals receive about $600 worth of vet treatment before they go to their new home." Adoption fees are $35 for dogs and $25 for cats. Seniors and military vets can adopt at no charge. Any pets who have been at the Animal Shelter over 30 days can be adopted for free and when the shelter gets full, adoption fees are waived. "We want them in good homes without financial barriers." Thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell- all adoption fees are WAIVED until Oct, 2024. The ratio of cats and dogs is approximately 50% each. About 800 of the 5000 animals are owner-surrendered each year. For some, the owner tried to rehome them with no success, and some owners find themselves in a situation where they have to get rid of the pet immediately and turn to the Shelter. Shelley encourages owners who may be struggling with their pet's behavior to take advan...
