Michael Rogers, in this week's SBAM Weekly Podcast, engaged in a conversation with Dianne Hartwell, president of Little Blessings Childcare and a member of the SBAM Board of Directors. Hartwell discussed the significance of building trusting relationships, effective communication, and ongoing staff training. She also highlighted her dedication to community involvement through her business philosophy of "Love, Laugh, and Pray."

Hartwell expressed her proactive approach by stating, "I’ve got this mindset, like, if you’re going to complain, get up and make a change." She elaborated on her strategy by saying: "And that’s what I’m doing. I’m getting involved, trying to see what is needed, talking with people that are also in my field. You get out and mingle, you do all that great stuff to see what the community needs."
