TheChildCareCoach

A childcare business can be successful and still be too dependent on the owner.
If every staff question comes to you…
If every parent concern escalates to you…
If every director decision waits for you…
If every system lives in your head…
You may not have a growth problem.
You may have an owner-dependence problem.
And that can be coached.

A good coach does not just cheer you on.

Sometimes a good coach asks:
What are you avoiding?

What decision keeps coming back?

Where are you overfunctioning?

What are you calling a staffing problem that may actually be a leadership problem?

What is the business asking you to outgrow?

Encouragement matters.
But so does accountability.

I started business coaching in 1994.

My childcare business development work began in the 1990s, helping home-based childcare providers operate more like businesses.

Since then, I’ve worked with directors, owners, administrators, associations, credentialing programs, and childcare leaders in more ways than I can count.

The work has changed.

The core truth has not.

Childcare is heart work.

It is also business work.

Strong leaders have to honor both.
