“Don’t let a man play in your face. ‘But that’s your husband.’ And? A marriage license does not give you a license to disrespect me. You don’t get unlimited access to me while giving me unlimited reasons to cry. I can love you and still set a boundary. I can be your wife and still stop ans

Have you ever felt harassed or unfairly targeted by Child Care Licensing? What happened, and how did you address it? Child safety matters. So do fair oversight, clear guidance, and professional treatment. Share your experience respectfully—without naming individual inspectors or sharing children

The harassment came from women who look like me. Black women built this industry — time we start building together. #daycare #childcare #ChildCareBoardroom #ChildCareOwners #BlackWomenInBusiness

Tried to Quit Trading… Tuition Was Already Paid 😂📈 Me: “Lord, I’m dropping this class!” But I feel Him nudging me to keep learning. 😂🙏🏽 My exits are still rough, and this tuition is EXPENSIVE! Learning patience, discipline, and that clicking “exit” doesn’t mean the order filled. 😩☕️ Next

Being caring doesn’t mean being available for everything. Late pickups, unpaid tuition, and requests outside your policies need clear boundaries. Child-care owners: you can support families and staff while protecting your time, your team, and your business. Set expectations, communicate them kin

Child-care owners 👀 What could Trump’s proposed plan mean for families, providers, and businesses that depend on subsidies? Let’s talk about why your financial plan needs room for policy changes. ☕️ Join me for Naptime Chronicles LIVE on TikTok! Bring your questions about ownership, staffing, su

Child care owners, has caring about everybody turned into being available for everything? The parent texting late at night. The employee bringing every issue straight to you. The fees you keep waiving because you understand somebody’s situation. I understand. I’ve made exceptions out of compa

So what am I doing NEXT after closing my child care centers? 👀 I spent years building, scaling and operating child care businesses—and I learned some expensive lessons along the way. I’m not opening another center. I’m taking everything I learned—the wins, the losses, the staffing problems

Child care influencers are selling you the DREAM—but are they showing you the math? 👀 The luxury car. The beautiful center. Multiple locations. “Get systems.” “Scale to seven figures.” “Become a millionaire.” But where are the videos about payroll, staffing ratios, insurance, debt, subsidy cu

Your child care center is NOT VC-backed—so stop comparing your business to brands operating with millions in investor capital. 💰 That beautiful building, rapid expansion, fancy technology and multiple locations you see online may have an entirely different financial structure behind it. Indep

Extending your child care hours might sound like great customer service—but are those extra hours actually profitable? Before adding evenings, weekends, or longer days because a few parents request it, look at enrollment demand, staffing costs, ratios, overtime, utilities, and what families are act

A child care center can be FULL and still not be profitable. 👀 Stephen F. Austin State University’s Early Childhood Laboratory had strong enrollment and a waiting list, yet the university reported subsidizing the program by approximately $750,000 over five years—and ultimately decided to phase i

Everyone teaches you how to OPEN a child care center—but who teaches you how to get OUT? I learned the hard way that building a business and building a business someone can actually buy are two different things. Plan your exit before you open the doors. #ChildCare #Daycare #ChildCareBusines

I don’t have all the answers to the child care crisis. But I know why I started—and it was never just about money. It was about protecting children, creating safe places for them to grow, and answering a calling that became a ministry. Yes, providers deserve to be profitable. Yes, educators dese

Is a child care franchise really a good investment in this economy? 🤔 Before you buy the brand, look beyond the revenue—royalties, risk, shrinking margins and what YOU actually keep matter. #ChildCareFranchise #ChildCareBusiness #DaycareOwners #ChildCareOwners #childcare

You cannot demand safe, reliable, high-quality, affordable child care while expecting providers to live in poverty to provide it. If everyone takes your advice and finds a “new profession,” who watches the children? #ChildCareCrisis #daycare #ChildCareOwners #childcare #EarlyChildhoodEd

COMMON SENSE AND CHILD CARE LICENSING DON’T ALWAYS GO HAND IN HAND. 😩 And if you’ve owned or directed a child care center long enough, you probably have a story. I believe in licensing. I believe in regulations. And I absolutely believe we need accountability when it comes to protecting child

🎥 Watch this — Alabama's child care subsidy waitlist is hitting real families and real providers right now. Since May: families losing eligibility with no warning, new applicants waitlisted, $160–$250 a week per child with no help. Providers can't make payroll. Parents can't go to work. "This

WHY DOES IN-HOME CHILD CARE HAVE TO BE CHEAP?! 👀💰 Why do people automatically assume that because you provide child care from your HOME, you should charge less? 🤔 I saw an in-home provider getting criticized for charging $200 a week — and my question is… WHY? Yes, home providers may have l

Child care owners, directors, and staff—we have normalized WAY too much toxicity in this industry, and it’s time to talk about it. 👀 Favoritism. Gossip. Directors playing favorites. Staff hanging out in the office while classrooms struggle. Teachers being left alone all day with no leadership su
