Through my daycare business venture, there were so many times I wish I had someone to ask all my questions to. I opened my doors in 2004 and made so many mistakes and learned valuable lessons along the way! 

From feeling like an overwhelmed complete business newbie, that no one would take seriously, to running a successful daycare business for the past 15 years I have made it my mission to help mentor new daycare business owners. 

I graduated in early childhood education in 2001. I worked in a few daycare centers  and quickly discovered that I had a HUGE entrepreneur inside of me waiting to come out and change the world. I was tired of working for someone. I disliked the lack of freedom, the rules I had to abide by and most of the time my bosses!!!

At the age of 24 I quit my job and  ventured off into the business world.

I opened my daycare business in September 2004. All I had was a minimal line of credit from the bank, a dream to offer quality services to my clients and the determination to work for myself!

It wasn’t smooth sailing, especially at the beginning,  but I was convinced to achieve my goal. I was a complete newbie to business. I was overhelmed and afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do be successful. Throughout the years, I made so many mistakes . Some small and some huge! 

In my 15 years as a daycare business owner as well as over 20 years as a certified educator I have learned alot! 

I believe that owning a daycare business is one of the most fulfilling and funnest fields to be in! 

My mission is quite simple: I teach how to run and manage a successful and profitable daycare to new business owners. 

I’m so happy to have you here!
