Coaching Services

Dr. I’Anson’s coaching services are grounded in her collaborative work with preschool-level leadership staff. Consulting hours are devoted to implementing systems, software, and plans established by church or community organization leaders. Coaching services are intentionally designed to help ECE leaders who are constantly pulled in many directions, always strapped for time, and therefore lacking the required attention, energy, and resources to take the steps required in order to work on establishing, re-opening, or growing their ECE program. Coach I’Anson doesn’t need a conference room or uninterrupted time with your Preschool Director.  She works with the Director in the Director’s office when the Director needs her and is flexible enough to provide coaching when the Director does have time during the day to devote to building the ECE program. 

Preschool leaders will not be left alone to accomplish their given goals. Dr. I’Anson is there to sit beside them and show them how and what they need to do the work. She consistently provides preschool leaders with empathy, constant support, encouragement, examples, suggestions, kindness, and humor. Sally has worked in hundreds of schools and with thousands of school leaders and brings her experiences in public, private, parochial, and charter settings with her to every relationship. Dr. I’Anson does not judge or criticize people for what they have not done; she works with them to build their dreams from where they are.

The coaching services indicated below represent the typical needs of early childhood education program leaders.  However, they are not inclusive of all available coaching services. Dr. I’Anson tailors your coaching to meet your specific and unique needs.

Re-Opening Your Early Childhood Education Program

Coaching Services:

• Identify appropriate grants for which you qualify and those that are specific to support preschools that are re-opening after the pandemic. Write the grants using techniques to ensure a high percentage of success turning into grant awards.
• Implement modern, affordable preschool software to streamline operations, financial systems, and communication to improve all of your essential preschool systems. Preschool software is now more affordable than ever and will allow you to reduce labor-intensive practices and improve the accuracy and speed of your processes.
• Create an updated ECE program budget that is functional, realistic, easy to understand and monitor, and that makes sense to the Financial leader and the Preschool Director of the Church or Community Organization. 
• Design a hiring and retention plan for staff that will attract the best teachers and creates a sense of loyalty to your ECE program.
• Build a marketing plan that puts your ECE program on the map through your website, and promotional materials.  Make your preschool highly visible and searchable on Google searches, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 
• Refresh and improve your core preschool documents to engage parents and teachers and better reflect your newly re-opened ECE program.
