A “No-Drama” Philosophy At Your Preschool

Whining, complaining, and venting get old really fast! If you’re sick of the drama, this post will tell you how to create a no drama philosophy in your preschool!

Talk About Your Drama Free Philosophy EVERYWHERE

When people think of your preschool they should automatically think “No drama.” Yes, of course, you want to associate your brand with great academics, fun activities, and safety, but also knowing that the teachers are there to teach and the students are there to learn will make your preschool desirable to both potential families and potential staff.

Use the words “No Drama,” “Drama Free,” and “Drama Free Philosophy” in your ads, on your website, in teacher interviews, on phone calls with potential parents, and mention it when parents tour your preschool. It needs to permeate your preschool’s culture.

When a new teacher is going through your onboarding process instill the no drama philosophy into the entire training. Talk to them about seeking feedback rather than merely venting. Provide instruction on diffusing situations before they become major issues. And make sure every employee knows the consequences for continually violating your drama free philosophy.

Some People Like To Stir Stuff Up

Every now and then you may find a teacher or parent that just likes to stir things up. They bring their family issues into the classroom, they complain about other people’s children on the parent portal, they bad mouth you or your teachers in the dropoff line. When this happens, deal with it quickly.

Start with a gentle reminder that this is a drama free zone and we’d be happy to help you explore some solutions, but if you just want to rant, this is not the place for it. If the behavior continues it may be possible that the teacher needs to be let go, or the family asked to leave. Your peace of mind, your reputation, and the protection of your staff and families is too important to allow the behavior to continue.

What Do Teachers Really Want To Do?

Teachers just want to teach. They have no interest in playing referee between coworkers or between parents. Teachers have issues at home, too. We all have things that bother us in our personal lives and maybe even with our coworkers, but school is our Happy Place. Teach your staff, your students, and their parents when they arrive at your preschool, that all those pains, troubles, and distractions get left behind, and they live by a “no-drama” philosophy at your preschool.
