What Is the Hardest Part of Owning a Child Care Business?

In the next 12 blog post, I am going to ask you some thought-provoking questions about being a Child Care Business Owner. In fact, my goal is to inspire you to give me your heart felt feedback about owning a childcare business. Most of all, your feedback will provide help me to write blog posts that will inspire you to grow and build a successful child care business.

A Real Story (What has been hard for me)

The photo that you see above is me painting the door in my preschool classroom. In fact, this photo was taking in the spring of 2021 and my dream of owning a center in Atlanta had come true. My husband and I were getting our Atlanta location ready to be licensed and it was an exciting time. However, the years before this location was filled with hard times and those hard times prepared us for the expansion in Atlanta.

I know first-hand that owning a childcare business can be tough at times and today I am going to share what has been the hardest part for me. Ready or not, here it comes:

  • When I became a home provider, the hardest part for me what dealing with complaining parents
  • Also, as a home provider, having a business in my home was hard for me, I felt like I was always at work
  • As a center owner, I initially struggles with learning how to select staff that was write for my center
  • In my first center, I struggled with managing a team and as a result of my lack of leadership, I had a high turnover.
  • As a multi-site owner, the hardest part was living 500 miles away from the center and trying to communicate my vision via zoom meeting and phone calls.

If you can relate to any of my business struggles above, let’s talk. What has been the hardest part of owning your childcare business: staffing, enrollment, finances, parents, or simply trying to do everything yourself?

Are You Pregnant with a Dream to Start or Expand a Daycare?

Happy New Year,

I hope your year is off to a good start. In fact, It’s time to get positioned to carry out the goals that you set before 2025 ended or new goals that you set as the clock turned to midnight on January 1, 2026.

Today I want to ask you a question? Are you pregnant with a dream to start or expand a daycare? Are you on the fence about that dream? Not sure if this is the right time?

In my 27 years of owning a Child Care Business, there has never been a good time to start or expand. In fact, I believe that your faith and your will to start or grow, will determine whether or not the start-up or expansion goes well.

So, no matter what things may look like in the child care industry today, parents are always look for quality childcare and if you want to be that childcare facility that parents choose, this is the time to get prepared for that dream in your belly.

I am writing a new book titled: Giving Birth to the dream. In this book I share my journey of starting a home daycare and growing that dream into multiple expansions and what it took to give birth to my God given dream.

I would love to hear from you, take a moment and leave me a comment about your dream or even share about what is causing you to not step out on faith and live your dream. I will be sure to leave a comment.

Furthermore, if you have a Big dream for your child care business or if you dream of starting a daycare or expanding, this book is for you! Check out and follow my blog posts about my new book, click here.

Keep Dreaming Big!
