Make Words Matter™ Leadership Circle

Ongoing Leadership Support for Early Childhood Directors

Leadership shapes language.

Language shapes culture.

Leading an early childhood center means holding a lot — staff dynamics, children’s behavior, family communication, and the emotional tone of the entire program.

Most leadership support comes in the form of one-time trainings or short-term consultation. Helpful, but often difficult to sustain.

The Make Words Matter™ Leadership Circle was created to offer something different:
ongoing, practical leadership support that helps language-based practices actually live in daily work with staff and families.

  • The Leadership Circle is a monthly, center-based membership for early childhood directors and administrative teams who want consistent support around:

    • leadership communication

    • staff culture and retention

    • behavior and regulation

    • family partnerships

    • alignment across classrooms

    This is not a course or a curriculum.
    It’s a leadership container — designed to support you over time, as real challenges arise.

  • Monthly Leadership Call

    A live monthly call designed for center leaders, focused on:

    • leadership language under pressure

    • staff coaching conversations

    • navigating parent communication

    • real-time challenges leaders are facing

    Calls are recorded for those who cannot attend live.

    Monthly Staff-Meeting Toolkit

    Each month, leaders receive a ready-to-use toolkit to share with their teaching teams, including:

    • a focused topic

    • talking points

    • reflection prompts

    • practical language examples

    This allows your team to receive consistent support without adding more meetings or trainings.

    Weekly Parent-Language Videos

    Short, practical videos leaders can share with families to:

    • reinforce consistent language between home and school

    • reduce confusion and conflict

    • build trust and understanding

    Parents receive support — without leaders having to create new content.

    Leadership Community

    A supportive group of early childhood leaders navigating similar challenges, offering:

    • shared language

    • perspective

    • and connection

  • The Leadership Circle is for early childhood center leadership teams — including directors, assistant directors, and owners — who:

    • value relationship-based practice

    • want consistency across classrooms

    • are tired of short-term fixes

    • want support that evolves with real-world leadership challenges

    Membership is per center, not per individual leader.
    All leadership team members at your center are included.
