Welcome to Nourish Onboarding
Below is the overview and links of your first 5 days of training. You will follow this, day by day, whether you are beginning full time or part time. We ask that you please do not skip ahead—slowly digest and put into practice what you learn.
Day 1: Welcome + Onboarding Overview
Today sets the tone for your journey at Nourish. You'll meet our training team and be introduced to the story of our school—where we’ve been, who we are, and the heart behind what we do. We'll explore our mission and values, begin to shape the mindset for your work with children and families, and offer a clear outline of what onboarding will look like. Together, we’ll discuss the components that lead to success and the expectations that guide and support you as part of our team.
Day 2: Foundations
On your second day, we’ll go deeper into the heart of our work—relationships. You’ll learn how we communicate with each other and with families, and how we foster deep, meaningful connections with children. We’ll talk about emotional safety, compassion, and the culture of feedback and gratitude that shapes our teams. This day is about anchoring yourself in the core values that make Nourish a space of trust and joy.
Day 3: Systems
Today is all about structure. You’ll be introduced to the practical systems that keep our school flowing—how we track time, communicate as a team, manage payroll, and stay organized with scheduling and HR. These tools are here to support your day-to-day experience so you can focus more fully on what matters most: the children and their growth.
Day 4: Policies and Procedures
This is a big day! We’ll review our school’s essential policies and procedures—what we hold as non-negotiables for safety, health, and licensing compliance. You’ll learn about ratios, risk levels, proper handwashing and nutrition practices, how to call off, and the professional standards that guide our work. While these are technical elements, they’re also the backbone of how we keep each other and our children safe, respected, and well.
Day 5: End of Week 1 Review
To wrap up your first week, we’ll review everything you’ve learned so far and give you space to ask questions, reflect, and share what’s standing out. We’ll introduce our Weekly Feedback Form—a simple and supportive way for us to keep growing together. This is a moment to pause, celebrate your beginning, and prepare for the next chapter of your journey at Nourish.
