About Childcare Confidential

Jessica Hampton and Katy Denk, hosts of the Childcare Confidential podcast, at an early childhood education conference

Welcome to Childcare Confidential, the podcast that brings to life the real stories of early childhood education. Hosted by Jessica Hampton and Katy Denk—experienced childcare coaches, speakers, trainers, and authors in the early childhood field—they reveal the day-to-day moments that only those in daycare truly understand.

 

From laugh-out-loud classroom mishaps to heartfelt cries for help, we share and discuss the authentic tales submitted by teachers, directors, aides, administrators, licensing consultants, professors, and childcare owners. No matter your job title, if you’ve worked in early childhood education or daycare, you have a story worth telling—and we’re here to discuss it.

 

At Childcare Confidential, our mission is to create a space that’s honest, relatable, and a bit therapeutic, where those who nurture our youngest learners can feel seen, supported, and perhaps even share a good laugh.
