Client Stories - The Child Care Success Company

After dealing with licensing violations and enrollment difficulties for years, in January of 2019 Zack and Chantel were ready to quit. But after an accidental meeting drew them to join the Academy, they started to work the systems and saw their business totally transform. As of January 2022, they will be at full capacity and have just transitioned to working from home part of the week.

Caprice owned an in-home child care program for years that was often successful. But as soon as her numbers grew, she'd get overhwelmed and the program would shrink again. Caprice shut down for four months during the pandemic. She rethought this decision after attending the 2020 virtual Summit and was the first person to join the newly-formed Academy Launch track.Today she's in the process of negotiating a lease for her first building.

Joan is the executive director of a non-profit ECE agency in New Jersey that, as of four years ago, couldn't keep good staff. On top of this, Joan wasn't taking care of herself and her marriage and health were suffering. After joining the Academy in 2018, Joan threw herself into working the systems and this year her company is bringing in a revenue of 1.6 million. But more importantly, her staff is now full of A and B players and she was recently able to afford health insurance for everyone.

Amanda bought her school with no previous child care experience and hired a director who ended up being an extremely toxic influence. Once she and that director parted ways, she joined the Academy and doubled her enrollment in the first three months. During pandemic shut-downs, she used marketing strategies to stay at the forefront of her parents' minds and is now in the process of buying a larger center.

When Alvin lost his job in 2018, he and his wife wanted to buy a business that would give back to their community. With zero preschool experience, they bought a school that was only at 60% FTE. He quickly realized there must be a better way to do things and found Kris on YouTube. Since joining the Acadey in 2019, Alvin's revenue has tripled and he and his wife are about to open their third center.

Monica acquired a drop-in center in 2017 and then became interested in owning a licensed center. In February of 2020 she and her husband bought a center three hours from their home and were immediately hit by the pandemic, during which they spent seven months living in a hotel to keep the center open. When Monica discovered the Academy, her business transformed. She recently purchased her third center and believes in the importance of a strong culture.

Jake & Leann attended their first Summit in 2017, with only 20 children enrolled at their school and struggling to pay their bills. That year they made the leap and joined the Academy, and today their school is at full capacity, they have the money to go on vacation, and are opening a second location.

When Jamarrion joined the Academy, she had financial success but was lacking leadership skills, leading to high staff turnover. It wasn’t until she took the Leadership Mastery Course that she realized she needed to work on herself as a leader and has since seen a tremendous positive shift in her staff and culture as a result.

With a unique business model that caters to children with special medical needs, Judy went into the business with a big heart but quickly found herself on the verge of bankruptcy, with only 11 kids enrolled out of a capacity of 60. Within eight months of implementing the business best practices that she learned in the Academy, her enrollment soared to 44 kids.

Before joining the Academy, Mia wasn’t giving herself a paycheck and felt like she was falling into despair. Within her first year, she gained the confidence to create traction within her business by allowing herself time to focus on marketing and delegating to her team. As a result, her school had a 22% ($96,000) increase in revenue and she now takes home a paycheck.

When they discovered the Academy, Hemang and his wife Janaki were happy with their enrollment and numbers but were unhappy with their personal lives - they were working long days and neglecting their relationship. Three years later, they now have four locations, have been able to start living their best lives together with their family, and have seen personal growth.

Before finding a tribe within the Academy, Danielle was feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and overworked. Since joining, she has found the time-freedom and resources she was searching for. She has gone from working 16 hour days in her center to purchasing a second location and working remotely from home on her business instead of in it.

Lety and Raul are a husband and wife team that own 4 schools together outside of Miami. Since joining the Academy, they have enrolled a total of 200+ more children into their programs and have found ways to stop working IN their schools so they could work ON their business.

When Nina joined the Academy, she was in overwhelm, operating as the owner and director. She went through our Enrollment Bootcamp program and quickly applied every system she learned. Now, Nina has delegated a leadership team and has had the time freedom to open a second location.

Mike owns 9 locations and is one of the Academy's longest-standing members. Because of the abundance of knowledge and resources available through the Academy and from fellow members, Mike has been able to expand faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Jennifer is the Executive Director of 9 locations. Previously, Jennifer and her owner were constantly crossing lanes and not holding each other accountable. Now, they have improved their mindset and created an accountablity chart, which has led them to major expansion.

Before joining the Academy, Marcia’s school was nearly full but she wasn’t tracking. Once she discovered how vital tracking metrics are and put the systems in place, she was able to add an extra $100,000 a year in revenue and raise her rates by 10% (and no families left when she did)!

Kym owns a Spanish immersion school and has been in the industry since 1992. When she attended her first Summit, she was $90,000 in credit card debt and struggling. Today, Kym is debt free, has $120,000 in the bank, and has the highest enrollment she has ever had.

Julie Roy owns 9 schools in the Omaha, Nebraska area. She is in fast growth mode and is on a mission to impact 1,000 children every day. Julie shares now NOT to get stuck in the day to day of your business, and how to accomplish more through delegation and outsourcing.

Hemang & Janaki have 2 locations in Maryland. They went from the stress of struggling to find staff, to sleeping soundly because they are now using best practices in hiring. Both have had massive improvements in their mindsets and are now living their best lives

Kari learned about us through our Enrollment Boot Camp Program, but needed more help and support to run her business. She went from 34 kids enrolled to 135 kids, and from losing $8K/week to more than tripling her revenue after joining the Child Care Success Academy™.

Steve and his mom, Jessica, own a preschool in Centennial, CO. When they first joined the Academy they were drowning, working 70+ hours per week in their business, rather than ON it. Now they are completely out of overwhelm, have an admin team and systems in place.

Michelle says she gained the confidence to expand through her time in the Child Care Success Academy. She implemented over 70 strategies in her business, and is bringing in ONE MILLION dollars more in revenue this year (2018) than she did in 2015. The accountability of this group helped her accomplish that.

Donna has used what she’s learned in the Child Care Success Academy to completely rebuild her business TWICE after some unforseen tragedies, including a building flood. Donna attributes her success to “going back to basics” and implementing Kris Murray methods. Check out her inspiring story here.

Tameenah was able to implement change and get her team on board very quickly, so when life threw her some devastating punches, her business was still able to function and flourish.

Geren & Melissa bought a child care center when it "looked good on paper," and quickly found themselves in a fight for survival. Implementing many strategies learned in the CCSA has made all the difference for success, and multi-location ownership.

Being a part of the Child Care Success Academy™ has brought Dawn a 15x return on her investment in the Platinum membership and clarity on her vision of what she wants out of life!

Veronica finally stopped spinning her wheels and gained momentum to open her 4th center. She grew as a leader and got buy in from her whole team for an overall improved staff culture.

Lisa bought a child care center without knowing anything about the business. The CCSA help her overcome many hurdles including identifying and overcoming a toxic staff culture.

Chirag, always looking to better himself, felt that joining the Academy brought him so many new learning experiences. Insights gained from other members of the group have been priceless.

Kris is an amazing professional in her field, devoted, caring, super knowledgable and helpful. The academy has been the pivoting point for me personally.☺️ Posted by Nick Kats on Wednesday, April 15, 2020
