PROVIDING EXPERTISE TO
DAYCARE PROVIDERS
How Do You Turn Your Daycare Into a Profi t?
O
ne problem that has faced independent daycare
owners is they’ve never had a resource to turn to for
help to grow their business to the next level. But now
that’s changed. Lori Sharp has been in the childcare
fi eld for over a decade and knows how to take a daycare
business from good to great.
“We’re here to help them to be profi table, to fi x any variety of
diff erent services that may be underperforming. I go into new or
existing daycare centers and help with problems like fulfi lling
enrollment, maintaining current enrollment, or maintaining
staff … to name a couple,” she said. “We can develop a business
plan going forward, help them with marketing ideas, look at
where they need help and how we can help them get there.”
Sharp’s business, Childcare Development Consultants, gives
daycare owners the plan, and they execute it. Another
important service off ered is
deter mining enrollment projections,
which may sound routine but can be
surprisingly wrong in many cases
without expert help.
With a background in early childhood
education and business, Sharp was a
classroom teacher for eight years before
becoming the director of a daycare center. She decided to
establish Childcare Development Consultants to help others in
the fi eld learn from her experience and success.
