If the Profit & Loss Statement is the performance review
I’m Chelsea Reue, a former kindergarten teacher turned preschool owner and childcare sales specialist. I help founders like you steady the ship, grow with purpose, and plan for what’s next without losing what matters most.
I’m not here to overwhelm you with business buzzwords or make you feel like you’re behind. I’m here to help you stabilize, scale, or sell without losing sight of what matters most. You’ll get clear advice, practical tools, and honest feedback (even when it’s hard to hear), all delivered with respect for your time, your values, and your vision.
Whether you’re dreaming bigger or winding down, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I don’t hand you a bunch of vague advice I help you fix what’s broken and strengthen what’s working.
From budgets to valuations, I’m in the weeds with you because clarity comes before confidence.
I’ll always tell you the truth, but I’ll never make you feel small for not knowing something.
I believe in protecting peace, profit, and people. In setting boundaries and knowing your
numbers. In asking bigger questions, like:

No one was talking about what it really meant to exit well or how to protect your business, your team, and your sanity along the way.
So I decided to become the person I wish I had.
I don’t believe in scare tactics or cookie-cutter solutions. I believe in honest conversations, smart strategy, and doing what’s right for your school, your family, and your future.
From educator to owner to trusted advisor here’s how I got here
Helping owners get clear on their finances, systems, and sellability
Teaching on tours, profitability, systems, and exit strategy
Books, checklists, and guides that simplify the business side
Conversations we all wish someone else was having
When I’m not on calls or reviewing deals, you’ll find me organizing something, monogramming pajamas, deep into a mystery novel with my daughter, or sitting around the dinner table with my husband and kids. I believe good people build great businesses. And great businesses deserve strong exits.
