I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining early childhood leaders from across Texas at the upcoming “Early Childhood Educators: Rising to the Challenge” Child Care Conference, hosted by Workforce Solutions Cameron.

The conference takes place Friday, September 19 and Saturday, September 20, 2025 at the South Padre Island Convention Centre—and I’m honored to be presenting two sessions designed to equip child care owners and directors with practical tools to grow, simplify, and thrive.

🔑 Breakout Session: Master Your Finances: Building a Strong Budget for Your Childcare Center

📅 Saturday, September 20
🕙 10:15 – 11:45am

Finances don’t have to feel overwhelming. In this session, we’ll break down how to create a budget that actually works for your center. You’ll learn:

• Why budgets often fail in child care (and how to fix them)

• How to shift from wishful numbers to real, bank-account-based planning

• Step-by-step strategies to allocate funds for profit, taxes, operations, and growth

The goal: to help you stop guessing and start managing your finances with clarity and confidence.

🚀 Closing Supersession: Eliminate, Automate, Delegate, to Elevate: Strategies to Streamline Your Workload and Boost Success

📅 Saturday, September 20
🕝 2:30 – 4:00pm

Running a childcare business often feels like juggling a hundred tasks at once—but it doesn’t have to. In this energizing supersession, we’ll cover:

• How to identify and eliminate time-wasting tasks

• What to automate so your systems run smoothly behind the scenes

• When and how to delegate, so you can focus on what matters most

This session is all about freeing yourself from survival mode so you can step into your role as a confident, visionary leader.

🌟 Why This Matters

Early childhood professionals face unique challenges—and rising to meet them requires both heart and strategy. My passion is helping owners and directors run schools that are financially strong, operationally smooth, and personally sustainable.

Whether you’re focused on getting your finances under control, reducing stress, or preparing your business for future growth, these sessions are designed to give you practical tools you can use immediately.

🎤 See You in South Padre Island!
