Childcare Confidential
Welcome to Childcare Confidential, the podcast where the real stories of early childhood education come to life. Hosted by Jessica Hampton and Katy Denk— seasoned experts, speakers, trainers, coaches, and authors in the early childhood world — pull back the curtain on the day-to-day moments that only those in the field truly understand. From laugh-out-loud classroom mishaps to heartfelt cries for help, we share and discuss the true tales submitted by teachers, directors, aides, administrators, licensing consultants, professors, and everyone in between. No matter your job title, if you’ve worked in early childhood education, you’ve got a story worth telling—and we’re here to talk about it.

The Sh*t We Wish We Knew
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some lessons only make sense in hindsight. In this episode, we open up about the moments, mistakes, and milestones that shaped us — and the things we wish we’d known along the way. 🎙️✨
From career challenges to personal growth, this conversation blends honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom. It’s a candid reflection on navigating life’s uncertainties, finding your footing, and learning as you go.
🎧 Join us for a thoughtful, unfiltered discussion on experience, resilience, and the lessons that stay with you.
