Our Team
Jennifer Conner
Chief Executive Officer
About twenty years ago, Jennifer Conner bought a struggling childcare center and quickly discovered she had bought a second full-time job. Enrollment was inconsistent, the finances were tight, and there were no systems. She was the center, doing everything herself, leading from reaction instead of vision.
The turning point came in 2012, when she attended the Child Care Success Summit. She stopped reacting and started building. She put systems in place, clarified roles, and treated enrollment as a strategy rather than a hope. Enrollment doubled. Revenue tripled. She opened a second location and built a leadership team strong enough that she could eventually exit both centers entirely. She had built a business she could leave, not just one she could run.
Today, as CEO of the Child Care Success Company, Jennifer helps owners walk that same path through her core framework: Vision defines direction, Stability builds structure, and Freedom is earned through execution. She works best with owners who are coachable, decisive, and ready to face their numbers, the advanced operators ready to step into true CEO-level leadership.
Signature line: “Enrollment is math, not magic. Stability before scale.”
