The Start2Finish 8-Week Childcare CEO Fast Track Program
Build a real childcare business, not an expensive guess.
This is for aspiring and current childcare owners who want clarity, compliance, and cash-flow confidence before signing leases, purchasing centers, or expanding.
The Hidden Cost Of Waiting
Most childcare owners don’t fail because they’re bad educators. They fail because they made expensive decisions without a framework.
This program exists so you don’t learn childcare ownership the hard way.
Why Preparation Comes Before Ownership
Buying a childcare business without proper preparation can expose you to financial strain, operational challenges, and compliance issues that aren’t always visible during the buying process.
Understanding real numbers, licensing requirements, and day-to-day ownership responsibilities before you commit allows you to evaluate opportunities more clearly, avoid costly mistakes, and enter ownership with realistic expectations, not surprises.
