What Our Past ChallengersHave to Say
It’s been a great week for me! I’m finding real joy this week in learning all of these things. The market comparison and analysis has been so enlightening for me to see and understand how much money was being left on the table. I’m just blown away! Learning to nail my unique benefits was really enlightening for me and I just really, really, really enjoyed this week. By using just a couple of techniques that I've learned over the last few days, I was able to fill my program. I’m at capacity, and I made slight changes that made all the difference in the world. I’m really thankful that I’ve had this opportunity and I’m so looking forward to the rest of the week.
I just wanted to share that since I participated in the challenge, I have increased my enrollment from 5 to potentially 17 children in just a matter of days. I implemented a few of the marketing and message strategies in my advertising posts and emails to my current families. Based on parent safety concerns, I was inspired to create an outdoor classroom. I took lots of pictures of it and put them up in a Facebook post, which now has over 5,000 views in only two days! My phone was ringing all day today with potential leads. I cannot wait to apply the rest of what we have learned in this AMAZING challenge! I'm so thankful for this opportunity.
Even when you’re in child care for 45 years, you’re never too old to learn anything. Kris has taught me so much. I did my homework and found out I was not doing near enough to market my center. Now, I have a whole plethora of a list to get my center going.This challenge has opened up a new world for me and I'm just so excited and anxious to get started! I hope everyone feels the same way that I do. I have enjoyed this class, Kris, and everybody who has participated in the live group.
We’ve had so many people calling. I’ve really been honing in on everything that this challenge has been touching on. I’ve always been looking for people who are in the same industry as me and have been wanting to surround myself with them and have been searching for my tribe. I’ve never felt so alive about what my school has to offer and all of our unique selling points. I think that my energy is really touching parents and that I'm finally doing well at selling them what I’m conveying.

WhatPeople SayAbout Working With Kris Murray
“You Can’t Put a Price
Tag On This.”
“Kris, I just want to say THANK YOU for your vision because your VISION is what keeps OUR VISION in front of us every day. You make yourself AVAILABLE to us for every problem that we may have as we’re trying…. as we’re sinking through the mud in our programs, and it’s PRICELESS! You can’t put a price tag on this. I’ve been involved in so many other coaching programs, and the head coach is not available. You’ve got to go through the bottom person, make an appointment 6 months down the line. You know, the whole gamut. But YOU and YOUR TEAM, genuinely from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I have to say 101 times over again, THANK YOU! Because you give me HOPE!”
– Marjorie Mallord, NY
“Just Six Months After I Joined, We Are 100% Full...”
“I had been in the business for 9 years. I thought I knew it all. I didn’t realize how much money I was leaving on the table until I met Kris. And somewhere along the way I had lost my “spark.” I wanted to join Kris’s program but I was extremely nervous about the investment. After talking with my sister, we realized we couldn’t afford NOT to join. And I’m so glad we did. I got fully re-ignited with my business after becoming a Success Academy member. Just six months after I joined, we are 100% full and have added substantial revenue to our program. We are also in the planning stages of opening a second site, which would have never been possible without Kris and her team.”
– Jolene Conigliaro, PA
“I Have Aqcuired an Existing School, My First 2 Schools Are
At 100% Utilization...”
“I decided to join the Academy because I was feeling overwhelmed with the process. I feel like I have made so many improvements, not only to my business but also to my personal life. Before, I had difficulty managing my own time, as I was constantly getting pulled into situations and was unable to complete my tasks. I also had trouble appreciating my staff. Since joining the Academy, I have acquired an existing school, my first 2 schools are at 100% utilization, we have improved the employee culture, and also created a training program for our staff. The results have definitely helped us retain our best staff and improve our mindset.”
– Hemang Patel, MD
“Your Leadership and Thoughtfulness Are Shining
Beacons Through These Times.”
“We really admire the work that you and your team are putting in to help child care providers. The love and support for everyone in the industry is evident, whether they are part of the Academy or not. While the details may be different over here, we are faced with similar challenges. Just knowing that we are not alone is, in a strange way, comforting, and perhaps more importantly, is experiencing how important taking a positive, optimistic perspective really is in responding to challenges. Your leadership and thoughtfulness are shining beacons through these times. You are a great role model for leadership…please know that we really appreciate you.”
– Gary & Laura Peirce, Isle of Man, UK
"Our Enrollment Has Improved From 60% to 85%!"
“Since we began our journey with Kris, our enrollment has improved from 60% to 85%. Our staff turnover has decreased from 160% to being on track this year to reach 50%. Parent satisfaction is up and churn is down. We have begun construction of a 3rd location opening in August 2018 and are currently working on a 4th. We have a goal of growing to 10 locations over the next 10 years. This was a goal that was inconceivable to us two years ago before we started participating in the Childcare Success Academy. However, it is a goal that we now have no doubt we can accomplish. Our mindset has shifted from what we could be, to what we can be, to what we will be. And now, we have the operational tools, marketing strategies, vision and enthusiasm to back it up!”
– Melissa & Geren Anderson, TX
“They Motivate and Inspire
Me to Do More.”
“Through my relationship with Kris Murray and team, I have learned about the importance of having processes in place, managing data and TRACKING. I’ve learned how critical it is to KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. I’ve learned the importance of having parent reviews in place, surveying your parents on a regular basis, surveying your staff members, following up on things I’ve promised, and having open conversations with staff and parents. I am also working on improving our New Employee Traning, Onboarding & Retaining processes, which is highly needed… All this thanks to my participation in the Child Care Success Academy and having access to Kris and her team and their expertise. They motivate and inspire me to do more.”
– Karina Wyllie, NY

Kind WordsFrom Our Clients
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.
