The Orchard Foundation Celebrates Business Leadership Institute Graduation
On Friday, May 8, The Orchard Foundation celebrated the graduation of 14 participants from our yearlong Business Leadership Institute!
These dedicated leaders from childcare and Head Start centers completed professional development through learning modules, small-group coaching around a problem of practice, and pre- and post-assignments designed to strengthen their business leadership knowledge and skills.
During the closing session, participants engaged in their final learning experience, Program Climate and Quality, before welcoming guests to join in the celebration of this important accomplishment.
“One of the biggest changes I’ve experienced is becoming more intentional with how I lead and support my team. Specific tools like consistent staff check-ins and goal setting have been especially helpful…Overall, BLI has helped me become a more confident, organized, and intentional leader. I now approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset and feel better equipped to motivate my staff to improve the quality of care in my center.”
