When It’s Time to Walk Away: Career Growth in Early Childhood Education

What happens when the career you worked so hard to build no longer supports your well-being? Bryanne Adler joins Kate Woodward Young to share her journey from floating teaching assistant to preschool owner and director, and why stepping away from her business became the healthiest choice.

They explore early childhood education careers, childcare leadership, classroom management, staff onboarding, professional growth, and burnout prevention. Brianne shares practical lessons on supporting teachers, identifying classroom challenges, and recognizing when it’s time for a new direction. Now pursuing her doctorate at Johns Hopkins, she offers a powerful reminder that changing paths isn’t failure; it can be the beginning of something better.
