Thank you for taking your precious time to join me. Grab a cup of coffee (you've earned it and if you're ANYTHING like me, you've been working for 8 hours already today and still have another 8 to go!) and get ready to GROW! I have been in operation as a top rated daycare/preschool/childcare professional for many years. I have started and restarted with NOTHING and grown my business in different cities and states. Each time I restarted I literally had a low to ZERO dollar ad budget. Restarting in a new state was the biggest challenge I faced and it brought me to several truths that I may not have fully realized the importance of otherwise. Like I mentioned before, I too am an owner/operator of a licensed home childcare business. I do it ALL myself. I wear ALL the hats...just like you. I have learned many lessons in my time and want to HELP providers just like you grow so LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!! Five Transforming Steps To Marketing Your Childcare Business! In this blog post you will learn my top five list of the most important practices for building your enrollment and maintaining an operating waiting list. I am going to state these and in the weeks to follow will expound on each one of them. Communication via these five topics will guarantee improvement in the number of people searching for, reaching, and enrolling with YOU.

OMG! Why are many of these wonderful opportunities for information during our workday?! It's crazy-making. Please consider a replay on a weekend. PLEASE! Just because it's at nap time does not mean they are all in slumberland. Sonja, the In-Home Child Care Provider.

Thank you Amy! I am looking at a solution for this. I will be in contact shortly. As a fellow In Home Provider, I totally understand time constraints and that "naptime" is often a "goal" more than a "reality!" :)) Have a great weekend and I will be in touch.

Do you have the webinar on YouTube. Or a link I can get. This is what I need to keep my preschool/ childcare stay open. I lost all my kids and only have one this year. Any thing will help! Thanks
