  • So many tools for my toolbox!

    Kris’ podcasts are hands down the best for any childcare owner. I listen to her podcasts to fill my mind with ideas for staff meetings and owner meetings. She always has a guest on that I can relate to. It’s so amazing that she brought this community of childcare owners together, I am so thankful for all information I take away from these podcasts.

  • Great for childcare directors and owners

    I’ve probably listened to everyone of these episodes. I enjoy listening to Kris and all of her guests.

    There aren’t many resources available to owners and directors of early childcare programs. This is a much needed resource for us. I’ve since participated in some of the child care success company’s trainings as well as now have attended one virtual success summit and will be in Vegas at the 2021 summit. I can’t wait.

    I highly suggest this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 223 — Protect What You've Built with Sharita Brown
Q: What practical steps did you take to regain control after the incidents?
We implemented one-on-ones with staff, clarified the why behind our policies, trained leaders to run centers, and even changed our appearance to symbolize the cultural shift and commitment to standards.
Ep. 223 — Protect What You've Built with Sharita Brown
Q: What was the turning point for you and your partner when facing these allegations?
We realized we needed to immediately strengthen our systems, documentation, and staff leadership; we walked the centers, checked in with staff, and overstaffed to ensure compliance and protect both children and families.
Ep. 219 - Having a Seat at the Right Table Is Everything with Kyleigh Tolman and Keaton Ross
Q: What's your approach to scaling leadership across three locations?
They emphasize having the right people in the right seats, maintaining servant leadership, and keeping core values in every meeting and interaction; they rotate directors intentionally to align vision and unity across sites.
Ep. 219 - Having a Seat at the Right Table Is Everything with Kyleigh Tolman and Keaton Ross
Q: Tell us more about your program and why you started your business.
Kylie explains that Klever Kidz Academy began in 2011 after she wanted to create a place she believed in, inspired by family history in the licensed child care space, and that Keaton joined in 2023; they expanded due to community need and licensing encouragement.
Ep. 218 - Stamp Your Center's Footprint in the Community with Megan Ferring
Q: What are the core components of your daily work now in this role?
I ensure centers follow SOPs, manage staff-file compliance, run reports in BambooHR, set up training alerts, and coordinate across locations to maintain consistent operations and quality.
