An 11‑minute video for preschool owners and directors who are tired of burnout, behavior issues, and a revolving door of teachers.
If you already have a call booked, please watch this before we meet. It will make our conversation much more useful.
If you don’t have a call scheduled yet and want to see what this could look like at your center, you can book a short conversation with me here.
What you’ll learn
In this short overview, I’ll walk you through:
Why your “revolving door of teachers” is costing you $40k–$70k+ a year in hidden churn
The Engagement Architects Operating System and 12 micro‑skills that reduce daily stress and behavior fires
How our Lab, year‑long support, and weekly lessons work together so your teachers actually use the skills
Why listen to me?
Hi, I’m Don, founder of The Engagement Architects.
I’ve spent over a decade in classrooms with 2 to 5‑year‑olds, consistently keeping 19 out of 20 kids fully engaged for 30 minutes at a time. Before that, I was a biomedical engineer at the Yale School of Medicine for almost two decades.
Instead of leaving my engagement levels at “I’m just good with kids,” I treated it like an engineering problem, recorded and analyzed my sessions, and lined them up with early‑childhood theory. That’s how we arrived at a set of 12 specific classroom skills any teacher can learn and run under stress – what we now call The Engagement Architects Operating System.
What this is (and isn’t)
This is not another one‑day “feel good” PD that everyone forgets in two weeks. It’s a year‑long operating system installation for your 2–5 year-old classrooms.
Experiential Engagement Architect Lab that feels like a flight simulator for teachers
Year‑round implementation support and new‑teacher labs
Weekly 30‑minute movement / SEL lessons that build in practice on top of your existing curriculum
An implementation guarantee so you’re not gambling on yet another workshop
What happens on our call
If you already have a demo scheduled, we’ll use that time to:
Plug in your actual turnover numbers and see what the revolving door is really costing you
Look at how the Engagement Architect OS would fit your center next year
Walk through investment, timing, and whether it makes sense to install this at your center
I’ll ask you for three simple numbers:
In a perfect world, how many teachers would you have?
How many are actually on payroll right now?
Roughly how many have left in the last 12 months?
