EP129 Rooted in Care: Mentorship and Magic in Early Years with Erica Saccoccio

EP129 Rooted in Care: Mentorship and Magic in Early Years with Erica Saccoccio

This week, we sit down with Erica Saccoccio, host of The Childcare Director’s Chair podcast and YouTube channel. A seasoned early years educator, Erica currently runs several childcare centres and brings a wealth of experience to the table.

We explore what makes an outstanding Early Years (EY) program, as Erica shares her vision for nurturing environments that grow alongside child development. She highlights the kind of educators who bring that vision to life—reliable, team-oriented, and full of heart.

We also dig into the tough stuff—why it’s hard for parents to leave their kids (and how to make that transition easier), how to truly assess whether an EY program is effective, and what mentorship really looks like in this field.

Plus, we talk about avoiding leadership burnout and navigating conversations with parents, whether their expectations lean progressive, traditional, or somewhere in between.

This is a super practical, down-to-earth conversation for anyone involved in early childhood education—or just curious about what it really takes to do it well.
