For childcare operators

Multi-Site Operational Assessment

Starting at $4,500 for up to three sites

Who it is for

Owners of two or more centers who sense that things are not running the same way from one site to the next and want an honest, outside look from someone who operates centers too.

What we look at

Leadership
Who owns what when you are not there, and the culture your leaders carry into every center.
Systems
Whether the company operates the same way at every center, including hiring, onboarding, consistent training, and the vendors and software you rely on.
Performance
Enrollment, labor, subsidy mix, food program, revenue, and the numbers that matter.
Quality and compliance
Whether quality holds as you grow, from licensing to facilities.

What you walk away with

A 90-Day Plan of Action that tells you what is actually happening across your company and what to do next.

Additional sites are $1,000 to $1,500 each. Travel is billed separately.

Monthly Advisory Retainer

Starting at $2,000 per month

Who it is for

Owners who want a working operator beside them as they build their leadership team, systems, and organization.

What we look at

  • The decisions in front of you right now
  • Leadership and team structure as you grow
  • Systems and consistency across your centers
  • Progress on your plan, month to month

What you walk away with

Regular advising calls and email access from someone who is still operating centers today, with the details covered in our agreement.

Three-month minimum. This is advising, not embedded or on-call management.

Assessment plus Advisory

Starting at $9,750

Who it is for

Owners who want both the diagnosis and the ongoing support to carry out the plan.

What we look at

  • Everything in the Multi-Site Operational Assessment
  • Then, month by month, putting the 90-Day Plan of Action to work

What you walk away with

The Multi-Site Operational Assessment plus a three-month advisory retainer at a discounted monthly rate.

Additional sites and travel are priced as in the assessment.

Software and Systems Selection

Scoped per engagement

Who it is for

Operators choosing or replacing childcare software and systems who want an operator in the room before they commit. I evaluate and select software for a multi-brand childcare organization as part of my own work.

What we look at

  • Sorting through vendor claims
  • Building the questions to ask in demos
  • Comparing options against how your centers actually run
  • Weighing in before a contract is signed

What you walk away with

A clearer decision, made with an operator's eyes on the options and the fine print.

Scoped per engagement. This is operational guidance, not legal advice.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start a conversation

    Send a short note, or pick a time, and tell me about your company and what you want to solve.

  2. 2

    A short intro call

    We talk through where things stand and whether I am the right fit for what you need.

  3. 3

    A written scope, then work begins

    You receive a clear written scope with what is included and what it costs. Once it is agreed, we get to work.

See If We're a Fit

I work with a small number of clients at a time so each one gets real attention. Availability is limited.

Not sure which option fits?

Start a conversation and we will sort out the right scope together.
