Being the director means more than being bossy. It means giving staff the respect and treatment that you expect them to give you and the families you serve! If you feel a need Linda, to allocate center supplies and monitor supply quantities, why not ask a few teachers to form a committee to track supply needs? or, better yet, talk to your teachers as adults, and tell them when you need to rearrange or disperse supplies!!!!! You are asking for resentment to grow and hostility to form around your treatment of staff as if they dont deserve basic communication on issues related to their own classroom and the center! this kind of thing really infuriates me. Of course, it is just one more example of why there is a huge shortage of childcare workers...who would want to be treated like a child, bossed around by a director, and then get paid poverty wages????
