Resignation

This week I resigned my position as director at the daycare. Every day was more stressful than the last and these last several weeks has been almost more than I could handle.

Last April when I agreed to become the director, I knew that the center had a lot of problems. It was a sinking ship. My job was to try to repair the damage. Over the past 7 months, I have made many changes to the daycare to try to make it a better place. I know "daycare" and I know "teaching". What I don't know is the business end, more specifically, the financial side of being a director. I also am not a strong leader and really struggle when it comes to dealing with the staff. I feel like I have done all that I can to improve the center. They need to hire a person that has strong business and management skills.

The next two weeks will be busy as I transition myself out of the office and teach the staff about the paper work so they can take over until a new director is hired. Within 18 hours of resigning, I was re-hired at the grocery store. I will also make myself available to do subbing at several preschools and daycares in the area. Life is starting to look up again!
