The Shocking Truth: Why 91% of Childcare Businesses Fail

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 03:00:00 -0700

The shocking truth about childcare business longevity will make you rethink your entire approach to ownership. Did you know that a mere 9% of childcare programs survive beyond the 10-year mark? Even more alarming, 41% close before completing their first year, and a staggering 80% shutter before hitting the two-year milestone. These statistics represent real businesses, real dreams, and real investments that vanished—leaving their owners with nothing to show for years of hard work.

What separates the successful 9% from the rest? After nearly two decades in business, I've identified three critical factors that determine whether your childcare center becomes a valuable, sellable asset or just another statistic. First is tenacity—that unwavering determination to continue despite challenges. When facing an eviction notice or personal tragedy, the ability to keep pushing forward becomes your lifeline. The successful few possess this "never give up" mentality that carries them through inevitable rough patches.

The second crucial element is financial literacy. You must intimately know your numbers, from conversion rates on tours to profitability breakdowns by classroom. Even as someone who "would rather have a root canal" than review financial statements, I've learned that delegating this responsibility isn't enough—you need accountability systems that force regular engagement with your metrics. Without this knowledge, you're flying blind, potentially raising rates too high (stopping enrollment) or keeping them too low (bleeding resources).

Perhaps most important is being future-focused. The childcare owners who succeed develop concrete plans extending years into the future, then reverse-engineer these visions into actionable steps. Even dedicating just 15 minutes daily to strategic goals accumulates to 62 hours annually—time that compounds into meaningful progress. This structured approach transforms vague "someday" dreams into tangible achievements.

Your childcare center should function as your retirement program—a valuable asset you can eventually sell, not just a job that ends with nothing to show for your efforts. This perspective shift from survival mode to strategic growth makes all the difference between the 9% who thrive and the 91% who struggle.

Ready to position yourself among the successful few? Join us at the Child Care Business Summit this June, where we'll dive deep into these success strategies. The time to commit to your future is now—because your childcare center deserves to be more than just a statistic.

Surviving Economic Cycles in Child Care with Cindy Lehnhoff Director at National Child Care Association

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:00:00 -0700

Running a successful childcare business requires more than just a passion for children—it demands business acumen, adaptability, and sometimes making tough decisions. Cindy Lenhoff, Director of the National Child Care Association, brings four decades of industry expertise to this eye-opening conversation about navigating economic cycles in the childcare sector.

Drawing from her journey from accidental preschool teacher to vice president of the second-largest childcare company in America, Cindy shares invaluable wisdom on sustainability during economic downturns. The post-COVID era has left many newer owners unprepared for normal market conditions after years of government assistance. Now, childcare entrepreneurs must learn to pivot strategically as their communities and enrollment patterns change.

One of the most powerful insights revealed is the importance of collaboration over competition. Rather than viewing neighboring centers as rivals, successful owners create intentional partnerships that benefit all—referring families to programs that better match their needs while focusing on their own strengths. As Cindy explains, negative incidents at any childcare center affect public perception of the entire industry, making cooperation essential.

The conversation tackles challenging topics like enforcing payment policies, discontinuing unprofitable programs, and learning to say "no" when necessary. Both speakers acknowledge that while these decisions aren't easy, especially for heart-centered educators, they're essential for long-term viability. "People pleasing is not going to get you to be one of that 9% of childcare programs that can survive beyond 10 years," warns Evelyn.

Whether you're considering food programs for financial stability, creating innovative services like hybrid "mommy and me" classes to address parental concerns, or simply trying to balance your educators' heart with a business owner's mind, this episode delivers practical strategies for thriving through any economic climate. Connect with Cindy and the National Child Care Association to discover additional resources for your childcare business journey.

TED Talk on Preserving the Wonder of Childhood Ep 98

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0700

I want to share with you my first TED experience. One of my passions is for the world to know the importance of early childhood education. People have formed a view of what daycare is. That view can be true is come cases, but I am trying to reveal to the world the power of a preschool that provides childcare services.

If you would like to join me in my mission to help the world see the importance of ECE, check out the course I will be launching called The Value of Your Voice. This course will help you learn how to get paid to get your message to the world. Today I am going to share with you the recording from my virtual TED Talk with Plattsburgh New York, TED. This was my first time on the TED platform. I used the opportunity to help the world see why we are more than just daycare. For those of us who work hard to sustain high quality Research based standards, we are preschools that provide childcare.

Leading with ADHD Ep 95

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0700

Do you ever feel absolutely chaotic or live with shame? Do you look at the people around you and wish you could just be normal?

I lived with shame for many years. I always wondered what was wrong with me. I felt like I had character flaws that were big and selfish. I worked desperately to make myself be like other people. I then found out that not only do I have narcolepsy but I also live with 3 types of ADHD.

Now I can show myself the grace I deserve.

I know how hard it can be to run a child care center. No matter how many people are around you, you may feel alone and forgotten. Join me as I talk about my journey. I went from being a lonely, overwhelmed owner/ director that felt hopeless to an empowered owner that helps other leaders learn that they are not alone.

Are You the Reason for Your Struggles

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0700

Let's be honest. Are you causing the problems in your own life? We often place blame and look externally for the reasons we are not achieving what we want in our professional and personal lives, but we often set ourselves up for failure.

Patterns of behavior that we are not even aware of often cause our own demise. What changes do you need to make in your own life?

Dealing with Ambiguous Loss Ep 45

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0700

We have all experienced loss through our lives, but it can sometimes be hard to put our fingers on what we have actually loss. This does not mean that you have not lost something, nor does it mean that your loss is not as important as someone elses.

Some losses are obvious, like the loss I have experienced through the loss of my husband. The pain and grief I feel is understanding to everyone. Ambiguous loss occurs when there is no clear loss or no closure.

It is important to be positive and stay focused on the future. It's important to feel the feelings. You are not alone!

Conflict Resolution with Chanie Wilschanski Ep 38

Tue, 25 May 2021 14:00:00 -0700

Like me, Chanie helps child care center owner and directors take their centers to the next level by helping them learn best business practices. Chanie also believes that we must put the children at the center of all that we do! In this episode we discuss conflict resolution! Chanie gives us something out of the box to think about!

Here is more about Chanie and an amazing offer she has for the ECE world:

Join Chanie Wilschanski, founder of Schools of Excellence for a FREE 4-day sprint to help you remove overwhelm and interruptions so you can build a calendar and life that serves your personal and professional leadership goals. Join us June 1-4, 2021 at Chanie.me/buildtolast

Join 2,000 other School Leaders in our Free community in our Schools of Excellence Lounge here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1320019694692592

Bio below + attached headshot

Chanie Wilschanski is an Early Childhood Leadership Coach and CEO of Schools of Excellence where she has worked with hundreds of EC Directors and School Owners who are working to build a School of Excellence with higher staff retention, teacher motivation, parent partnership, and collaborative culture.

Chanie began her journey over a decade ago, teaching toddlers at the acclaimed Preschool of the Arts in New York City for 8 years until she continued her path into high studies and earned her Masters in EC and Special Education.

In 2015, she started training teachers and school leaders on the HOW part of creating excellence in their schools.

Now a wife and mother of 4, her hands are full and she understands what it takes to lead a large center and have a full-time job at home, and it breaks my heart when I see so many dedicated school leaders sacrificing all of their time with their family and all of their self care (what self care?) to a school that feels like it’s constantly getting away from them.

Time to Level Up & Transform into the Leader You are with Beth Cannon Ep. 36

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 14:00:00 -0700

In this episode, we are joined by Beth Cannon. Beth does a great job of explaining what we discussed in the following description:

While I was training and motivating other teams, my own team was fragmented and disconnected, because I’d hired the wrong people out of desperation and our onboarding systems were dependent on too many fluctuating factors.

When I finally got clear on the need to empower my team, put the right systems in place, and learned to manage my time and energy, there was a marked shift in my own mindset and mental health AND I got my joy back!

TIME TO LEVEL UP AND TRANSFORM INTO THE LEADER YOU ARE
My magic is in my ability to motivate and articulate the exact steps you need to take to organize and strategize your workflows and processes. When the leader levels up, the team experiences the transformation of their talent into performance.

Leading a Team through Tough Times Ep. 26

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 14:00:00 -0700

We are 16 weeks into the Covid 19 crisis. Tensions are very high around all around the world. People are tired and overwhelmed. So how do you lead a team that is stressed and tired through troubling times? In this episode I talk about the steps I am taking to help my team through this time of crisis.

It is very easy for us to get caught up in our own troubles right now. If we don't pay close attention to the pressure our teams are under, we run the risk of losing them. The teams that make up our preschools and child care centers are too important to ignore. We must find ways to ease their burdens.

Creating a Culture of Equality and Kindness within our Preschools Ep. 24

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 11:00:00 -0700

My vision for ECE has always been for ALL children to get equal access to high quality care and education during their first 5 years of life. Although my mother immigrated to the U.S. from Honduras as a young woman, I have lived a privileged life.

From early on in my ECE career I saw children being treated differently due to their socioeconomic status. This was one of the reasons I became a child care center owner.

A child's race or families income should NOT be the determining factor for what kind of ECE program the child can get into.

We can do our part in helping children grow up to be accepting and kind to all people regardless of their race, economic status, health or based on any disabilities they may have. We can also help educate parents on how to achieve this.

CARES Act: Paycheck Protection Program & Disaster Relief Loan for Child Care Centers Ep 19

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 21:00:00 -0700

Is Your Childcare Center Impacted by COVID-19?

In this episode, Jay Whitney of Childcare Brokers answers the questions we have all been asking about the Paycheck Protection Program. Please be sure to join our Facebook community for more useful tools, like videos, pdf files and free trainings to help you get through this crisis: https://www.facebook.com/groups/childcarebusinesscoach/

The SBA Coronavirus Relief Loan – Paycheck Protection Program

Do your childcare center qualify? & What’s needed to determine eligibility?
How do I calculate the total loan amount my childcare center can get?
What counts as “payroll costs? What does not count as Payroll costs? Does the PPP cover paid sick leave?
What expenses will this loan help pay?
Will I have to pay back my loan? – What is forgiven?
Will I owe money if I do not maintain my staff and payroll.
Are there any fees?
Is collateral or a personal guarantee required?
What is the interest rate? Over what period will it be paid back?
What documents will I need to complete my application?
Can I take out a PPP loan and a SBA Disaster Relief Loan (EIDL)?
Why some lenders are not interested in the program? (The bank’s interest rate is only 1%!) Since the program is a “first come, first serviced” program, why a center owner should go with lenders who move fast?

Staying Productive During Crisis Ep. 18

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 20:00:00 -0700

Find the Blessings
It is so easy for us to focus on the overwhelm. We must be intentional and look at the blessings that are still around us. Look beyond your current situation at the big picture. Look to your family, friends, even your pets, you will find blessings somewhere. Celebrate the wins. It can feel weird and out of place to celebrate your wins during stressful times, but it’s important for us to focus on the positive.

Stay focused
During stressful times, it can be very hard to stay focused. Look at the things that distract you or keep you focused on issues that are not productive such as social media and the news. Limit your time on activities that are not productive.

Get Structured
If you are closed, create a list of all the things you have been wanting to do, but don’t have the time normally. Prioritize the list on what will produce he most value. If you are open, create a list of essential items that need to be completed and prioritize them. Create a weekly and daily schedule for yourself. Start with your priority and most valuable items and schedule them in first.

Don’t Pull Back
It is important to make sure to keep the lines of communication open with your families. Whether your open or closed, you are probably missing a lot of families. Stay in their radar by posting on social media, sending emails or making phone calls. Now is a great time for you to solidify your branding and build a strong relationship with your families.

Why Research Based High Quality Can Save Your Child Care Business (Ep 06)

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:00:00 -0800

Achieving NAEYC or NAC accreditation or scoring high in a Stars Program or QRIS may seem too hard and too expensive to achieve. If your center has been struggling, this achievement may be just want you need. Research based, quality standards will help you achieve the success you have been hoping for. I know it seems scary, I was terrified that adhering to high quality standards would bankrupt me, but my child care center has become much more successful since I took the plunge!
