Are You Ready To Expand Your Family Home Child Care Business?

expansionI want to help you to expand without any Anxiety or Worries!!

I can remember when I was ready to expand my Child Care Business back in 2002. In fact,  After only five years of my daycare being in my home, I wanted my home back!

Furthermore, I knew that it was time to move the daycare out of my home into a commercial location and I didn’t think twice about my decision to expand, I just began to take action!

My entire home was a daycare and there was very little space for my family to live. I had officially outgrown the space I was in. Also, I knew that I needed to reach more families and I wanted to provide a high quality services to more children.

You are probably wondering what steps I took to get prepared for the expansion? Well.….I bought a Center management book, I bought a Curriculum book, I studied major Child Care Chains and I began looking for a building.

To be quite honest with you, I still was not prepared for all that came with operating a Center. In fact, When I opened my center, I was equipped to run a  quality center, however, I was not prepared in the area of Leadership and all that came with running a Child Care Center.

Too many books are written by people who have never Operated a Child Care Center and there are very important details that are not included in many Child Care Business Management books. That is why I am so excited to share my expansion story and empower you to expand with all the tools you need to Succeed.

Are you ready to expand your Child Care Business? Do you want to know what I did to get started? Are you eager to find out why leadership development is so important to your Business Success? Finally, Do you want to find out how to Effectively Manage a Child Care Center?

If so, I want to hear from you? I am planning a Teleseminar just for Family Home Child Care Providers who want to Expand their Businesses!

If you desire to expand, Please post your questions below and tell me why you want to expand. I want to help you to expand without any anxiety or worries!! Talk to you soon….

With Expansion in mind,

Don’t Allow Fear To Stop You!

I don’t know about you, however, fear has been my #1 enemy on my Business Journey.

Please allow me to share a brief story with you: In 2002, I almost allowed fear to stop me from going back to school to further my early childhood education.  In fact, going back to school to further my education was one of the best decisions that I made in my lifetime. At that time, the local community college was offering free early childhood education through a program called: Child Care Field base (where the instructor came to my home).

I can remember the first day of my field base college class, my instructor was knocking on the door and all of the sudden, I became fearful to start the class. So, I pretended that I did not hear her knocking at the door.

Now I know that sounds crazy, but that’s how fear can paralyze you from reaching your goals or living your dreams.

Eventually I let her in and 10 years later I have over 30 college credit hours in early childhood education along with a Business Degree that I completed in 2010.

I shared my story with you to say this: If you have a dream to expand or start a child care business, the only thing that is stopping you is you!

Fear is only a thought and it is also a choice. I once heard Joyce Meyers say this, “sometimes you have to do it afraid!”

Moreover, having a mentor only increased my knowledge, my faith in my self and it empowered me to grow my Child Care Business.

In fact, mentor ship ship has empowered me  to

  • Transition from only having a high school diploma-
  • To having a College Degree
  • To expanding from a Family Home Child Care Business
  • To  becoming a Center Owner and now a Mentor!

If you are feeling stuck and afraid to move forward and you know that its time for you to grow, contact me today for a coaching or mentoring session!

To your success,

Shiketa
