This week on The Educators Edit, we're flipping the script.
Tiana is back in the podcast studio while on maternity leave and preparing for a brand new experience - searching for childcare for her own little one.
After years of welcoming families into centres, she's now the parent walking through the door, asking the questions, noticing the little things, and trying to find the right fit.
Together, Jackie, Bec and Tiana chat about:
💛 What families are really looking for on centre tours in 2026
🏡 The small things that leave a lasting impression
🚩 Green flags, red flags… and the ones that could be both
👶 How becoming a parent changes your perspective as an educator
✨ Why trust, relationships and feeling matter more than ever
Whether you're an educator giving tours, a leader supporting enrolments, or a parent starting your own childcare search, this episode is a reminder that behind every enrolment enquiry is a family simply looking for somewhere their child will be loved, safe and belong.
Tune in for an honest, relatable and surprisingly emotional conversation about seeing our sector through a different lens.
