Our center uses feedback sessions, invites large and small group discussions and encourages interactions. We also appoint T.E.A.M. members to oversee various areas of the center.

Great initiative, JLA! Feedback sessions, group discussions, and T.E.A.M. members are effective ways to boost creative thinking in our daycare. Keep it up!

[Trisha]

We have weekly staff meetings to discuss things we need to improve on and also ideas to try in the future. Im thinking it may be a good idea to have a drop box for ideas for people to use if they feel uncomfortable in a group setting.

[Trainer]

Great suggestion, Trisha! Setting up a drop box for ideas can provide a comfortable space for sharing and encourage creativity among the team. Keep fostering open communication!

Weekly level meetings, teacher-assistant time, making in-service days a priority with designated time to collaborate and share ideas! 🙂

[Trainer]

Great suggestions, Angela! Weekly meetings, dedicated teacher-assistant time, and prioritizing in-service days can foster collaboration and creativity among childcare staff. Well done!

How about setting up a weekly “Inspo Hour”? Basically, you can all gather around and share what’s been sparking our creativity lately. Whether it’s a funky art project you stumbled upon or a cool new game idea, it’s all fair game! It’s like a mini-show-and-tell, but way more fun and inspiring. Plus, it’s a great way to bond with the team and get those creative juices flowing.

To boost creative thinking at our daycare, we can encourage collaboration among staff members through fun and easy initiatives.

1. Schedule regular brainstorming sessions where staff can come together to share ideas and suggestions in a relaxed environment.
2. Assign collaborative projects that require teamwork and problem-solving skills to develop new initiatives.
3. Introduce fun and creative challenges or competitions to encourage staff to showcase their innovative ideas and talents.
4. Plan team-building activities outside of work hours to strengthen bonds among staff members and promote a supportive work environment.

[Heather]

Our team collaborates with weekly planning meetings as well as monthly staff meetings. We all provide our feedback, discuss issues in our classroom and figure out how to best support our class in a very collaborative way.

[Trainer]

Heather, it’s great to hear about your team’s collaborative efforts through regular meetings. Consider incorporating more hands-on activities and team-building exercises to enhance creativity and idea-sharing.
