I’m still riding the wave of energy from the TLCCA Spring Conference 2024, held March 1–2 at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock, Texas. It was an incredible weekend of connection, learning, and inspiration with childcare leaders from across the state.
This year, I had the honor of presenting three sessions on Saturday, March 2:
- Brand Brilliance: Transforming Your Center’s Image from BLAH to BAM
- Enrollment Elevation: The Art of Captivating Tours
- Alert: Embrace Profitability! The Power of Positive Preschool Finances
Attendee Feedback
The best part of the conference was hearing how the sessions resonated with attendees:
💬 “Your Branding session gave me so many practical ideas—things I can take back on Monday to refresh how families see us.”
💬 “I never thought about tours this way before. Training my directors to ‘sell’ felt intimidating, but you broke it down in a way that makes sense and feels authentic.”
💬 “The finance session was a game-changer. You gave me permission to see profit differently—as a way to protect my school and my team.”
Why It Matters
As a child care sales specialist and preschool owner, my goal in every presentation is to give owners tools they can use immediately—whether that’s improving how families perceive their school, increasing enrollment through stronger tours, or gaining confidence with their finances.
Hearing from attendees that the sessions brought clarity and encouragement reminds me why I love doing this work.
TLCCA – A Place for Growth
The Texas Licensed Child Care Association (TLCCA) Spring Conference continues to be one of the most valuable gatherings for early childhood leaders in our state. The combination of practical training, peer connections, and inspiring speakers always leaves me refreshed and ready to dive back into serving schools and owners.
I’m grateful to TLCCA for the opportunity to contribute, and to every attendee who joined the conversation with such openness and energy.
Here’s to stronger schools, confident leaders, and futures full of possibility!
