ALL KIDS DESERVE A CHAMPION. REMEMBER WHO SAID IT FIRST!

Hi my name is Cori Kerns. I have ten years of early childhood experience. I started working at a daycare with my older sister Carli when I was in college and the passion grew from there.

Throughout my career I have been fascinated by the research that continues to show that a child’s experiences from birth to age 5 have a profound effect on their success later in life, from social and emotional intelligence to health to employment. I also believe that early intervention is of the utmost importance. Christa McCauliffe once said; “I touch the future, I teach.” That is what drove me to become a teacher and then do my best to ensure academic success through process, material and training improvements. I mainly accomplish this through collaboration with different individuals, such as educators, parents, public policy makers and my peers. Having an accurate sense of who you are helps you decide what you should do to improve. Often, self-awareness will reveal a skills gap that you want to work on. I feel knowing your strengths and weaknesses is detrimental because self-awareness helps you exploit your strengths and cope with your weaknesses.

My main goal is to part of our centers success by increasing enrollment and parent retention.

Through the course of my CEEL journey I have learned how important it is to foster an environment that encourages psychological safety, empowering people to action and creating short term goals. I have also learned how to establish achievable, visible, short term targets that are low stakes not just one long term goal we don’t really create. This creates a sense of possibility and cultivate the inner confidence of a “can do attitude” to enhance motivation and inhibit a “won’t do approach.” I also learned how I can work on our reinforcement strategies - create an ongoing performance measurement tool (the SCORECARD), share results, ask for feedback, give personal acknowledgment and communicate meaningfully, consistently and closely linked with progress.

I look forward to continue to grow both personally and professionally, I believe everyone is a work in progress.

All too often, these programs are ineffective and short-lived. But they don’t have to be.
