Understanding organizational climate is essential for every early childhood director. The daily “weather” of a program—its moods, rhythms, and unspoken norms—shapes how staff feel, how children learn, and how the entire community thrives. When leaders can read this climate with clarity, they’re better equipped to nurture stability, strengthen relationships, and create conditions where everyone can do their best work. A Great Place to Work helps you move beyond general impressions of sunny days or gathering clouds, offering a clear and compassionate framework for understanding what truly influences your program’s atmosphere. By exploring ten key dimensions of organizational life, this updated edition invites you to notice the patterns, pressures, and possibilities that shape the staff experience.
A Great Place to Work will help you…
- identify what organizational climate is and how it impacts the quality of work life for staff

- appreciate the diverse perspectives of staff that enrich your program’s atmosphere with insight, balance, and depth
