🔍 Key Takeaways from Kate

  1. Understand your “why” and communicate it early and often to your staff and parent community when implementing HiMama at your center.
  2. Identify HiMama experts on your team and empower them to coach other staff members through the process. The excitement is infectious!
  3. Download the HiMama Customer Care Kit filled with checklists, templates and product walkthroughs to run your center with confidence during COVID-19.

Key Takeaways from Stefanie

  • At the beginning, go slow and be available to your team! A “soft launch” with one classroom first can be a great way to introduce the app to your staff in batches and empower team members to teach each other.
  • Embrace the power of “yet” – when you have staff who do not feel confident with technology and saying they can’t do something, reframe it as “you can’t do this, yet!” This encourages an attitude of learning.
  • Every teacher works differently, so try to match their learning style. Everything on HiMama can be edited, so have fun with the learning process.
