  • So many tools for my toolbox!

    Kris’ podcasts are hands down the best for any childcare owner. I listen to her podcasts to fill my mind with ideas for staff meetings and owner meetings. She always has a guest on that I can relate to. It’s so amazing that she brought this community of childcare owners together, I am so thankful for all information I take away from these podcasts.

  • Great for childcare directors and owners

    I’ve probably listened to everyone of these episodes. I enjoy listening to Kris and all of her guests.

    There aren’t many resources available to owners and directors of early childcare programs. This is a much needed resource for us. I’ve since participated in some of the child care success company’s trainings as well as now have attended one virtual success summit and will be in Vegas at the 2021 summit. I can’t wait.

    I highly suggest this podcast.

I highly recommend listening to this if you’re in the child care field!
