April Monthly Resource Toolkit
April showers bring... more fun!
April is almost here—are you ready?
If you’re new here, welcome! Each month, I release a Resource Toolkit made just for Childcare Directors who want to build stronger connections with their families and staff—without adding more to their already full plate.
Connection is one of the most meaningful parts of our work, but planning it all can feel impossible when you’re juggling a million other things. That’s why I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. Each toolkit includes:
• Pre-written newsletter content you can copy or tweak
• A Staff Learning Spotlight to guide team discussions
• Fun & lighthearted holiday ideas to boost morale
• And actual plug-and-play resources to help you bring it all to life
Want these delivered straight to your inbox each month? Subscribe now and make connection the easiest part of your job.
April’s Toolkit is all about fresh starts, creativity, and connection. Inside, you’ll find ready-to-use resources to help you celebrate Earth Day, World Art Day, and World Book Night, along with lighthearted ideas to bring laughter to your staff for April Fools’ Day. Whether you’re setting up a chalk-the-walk, hosting a book exchange, or surprising your team with a new “diaper wipe accountability policy” prank, this month is full of simple ways to spark fun and strengthen community.
You’ll also find the staff learning spotlight that supports reflection and growth—like rethinking classroom rules, embracing mistakes, and letting go of control. These tools are designed to help you feel supported, inspired, and connected as you guide your team and families through another season of meaningful work. 🌱✨
REMINDER- The Printable Nature Journal is a separate download below! Feel free to include this in your newsletter to parents in celebration of Earth Day, send it home in folders, or use it in your classrooms!
**If you use any of these ideas at your center, I would love to hear how they went or see pictures! Just tag me on Facebook or Instagram @thedirectorscollective or email me at admin@thedirectorscollective.com so I can share all of your hard work and community building 💕
