Years ago, I sat with an educator in a staffroom who expressed her feelings of inadequacy in her role within childcare services. Despite having her Diploma and completing the necessary training, she lacked guidance on what good practice looks like in daily operations. She found it challenging to transition a room full of tired children from lunch to rest, to intervene gently when a colleague’s tone shifted, and to document her reflective practice without losing valuable time in her day.
She wasn’t failing; she was unsupported.
This conversation inspired me to start SOAR, a program dedicated to providing coaching services and mentoring programs for educators to foster their development and support them in their crucial roles.
At its core, SOAR Mentoring is built on five key beliefs: Leadership exists at every level—not only in formal titles. Growth happens through small, intentional actions, not sudden change. Confidence develops before capability can flourish. Reflection is most powerful when it is guided and safe. People grow when systems support them, not p
At its core, SOAR Mentoring is built on five key beliefs: Leadership exists at every level—not only in formal titles. Growth happens through small, intentional actions, not sudden change. Confidence develops before capability can flourish. Reflection is most powerful when it is guided and safe. People grow when systems support them, not pressure them. SOAR Mentoring emphasizes human connection, professional dignity, and clarity within mentoring programs, especially for educators and childcare services, while also providing coaching services that align with these core principles.

SOAR represents a continuous cycle of professional growth in childcare services. Support Educators are first aided in understanding their role, feeling safe to ask questions, and recognizing their existing strengths. This support is delivered through mentoring programs, coaching services, mentoring conversations, modeling, clear expectations, and practical tools. Observe Educators are encouraged to notice their own practices and those of others with curiosity rather than judgment. Observation builds awareness, confidence, and professional insight. Act Learning is applied through intentional, realistic actions within daily practice that are role-appropriate and achievable. This allows educators to lead through their actions, not just their words. Reflect Educators are guided to consider their impact, learning, and next steps. This reflection strengthens their professional identity and fosters continuous growth. The cycle is not linear; educators may navigate back and forth between stages as they develop within their roles in childcare services.
