I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the Childcare Director & Owner Retreat at Stoney Creek Ranch this year, hosted by PALS Training! 🌟

As both a preschool owner and a Child Care Sales Specialist, I’ve seen firsthand how critical financial systems are to the health — and eventual value — of a school. At this retreat, I’ll be leading a session on one of my favorite topics: budgets and how finances directly impact the sale of your childcare business.

So many owners focus on day-to-day operations, but when it comes time to sell, buyers are looking at your numbers. A well-managed budget not only makes running your center smoother — it can increase your school’s market value when you’re ready to exit.

This retreat is designed to give directors and owners a chance to recharge, connect, and walk away with practical strategies they can immediately apply. I can’t wait to contribute to the incredible lineup and spend time with leaders who are passionate about early childhood education and building strong schools.

Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing highlights after the event!
