The National Institute of Child Care Management (NICCM) is proud to unveil its newest initiative aimed at elevating early childhood education leadership: a dynamic one-day Leadership Retreat series set to launch in major cities across the United States. This exclusive event is designed to empower both aspiring and current child care leaders by providing actionable strategies in leadership, communication, and professional growth—all at a low-cost investment.
Spearheaded by renowned early childhood education expert Bradley Smith, the NICCM Leadership Retreat will be a game-changer for those committed to excellence in the child care field. The retreat promises an immersive, fast-paced experience focused on strengthening essential leadership skills and unlocking new pathways for career advancement.
“This retreat is more than just a seminar—it’s a powerful movement to build confident, well-equipped leaders in early education,” said Bradley Smith, in a recent interview. “We’ve seen first-hand how proper leadership can transform child care centers. Now, we’re bringing that impact to professionals nationwide.”
At the heart of the retreat is a commitment to practical, results-driven development. Participants will leave with enhanced leadership strategies, improved communication techniques, and a refreshed vision for guiding their teams with purpose.
NICCM's retreat is also a critical stepping stone for professionals pursuing childcare credentials, looking to enhance their childcare director certificate, or aiming to complete essential childcare director training requirements. By attending, professionals not only gain valuable insights but also advance their qualifications and readiness for leadership roles.
Wondering who should attend? This retreat is crafted keeping in mind early childhood educators preparing to transition into leadership roles, current directors seeking to sharpen their skills and renew their vision and owners and administrators aiming to build stronger, more effective teams
With limited seating and an intentional focus on intimate, high-impact engagement, each city’s retreat is expected to sell out quickly. Interested participants are encouraged to register early to secure their spot.
NICCM remains committed to providing affordable, accessible training options for child care professionals. The Leadership Retreat continues this legacy by offering an exceptional training experience at a fraction of the cost of traditional conferences or courses.
