The Most Powerful Support is Weekly Peer Support

Owners Cohort Community

You don’t have to lead alone.

Join fellow childcare owners virtually each week for real talk, fresh ideas, and meaningful support that makes a BIG difference.

We take great care of the kids, but how are we taking care of ourselves and our business?

Owning early childcare centers can feel like we’re just trying to survive!

Staffing

Finding and keeping qualified, caring educators is a constant challenge. High turnover, burnout, and a shallow hiring pool make it tough to build a stable, thriving team.

Sustainability

Tight margins, rising costs, and unpredictable enrollment create constant financial pressure. Owners juggle tuition rates, payroll, and operating expenses while trying to keep their centers afloat and thriving.

Support

Leadership can feel lonely. Without peers who truly understand the unique pressures of running a center, many owners lack the support and connection they need to stay inspired and grounded.

“I recommend Vernon Mason wholeheartedly.”

“Looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable motivational speaker who will truly inspire early care and education providers? I recommend Vernon Mason wholeheartedly. We recently had Vernon as our closing keynoter, and he captured the attention of a ballroom filled with directors who had already been through a long day of training. Vernon offered realistic suggestions on hiring, motivating, and retaining quality teaching staff." - Fran Devine, Overbrook Presbyterian Church Preschool
