The State of Childcare
How to Pivot, Not Panic While Stabilizing Cash Flow, Reducing Risk, and Navigating Subsidy Changes
Right now, childcare owners across the country are carrying more than just the daily responsibility of running their programs. You’re managing delayed payments, tighter regulations, increased audits, and constant uncertainty around funding all while still showing up for families, staff, and children every day.
Many of you are doing everything “right” and still feeling the pressure. The rules keep shifting. The oversight is growing. The margin for error feels smaller than ever. And the question quietly sitting in the back of your mind is:
“How do I protect what I’ve built when the system I rely on feels unstable?”
This session was created for leaders who refuse to panic but know they can’t afford to stay unprepared.
This is not fear-based. This is strategy, clarity, and leadership in real time.
What This Session is About
This training is designed to help you lead through change instead of reacting to it.
In this session, we will cover how to:
• Understand how current subsidy changes are impacting real childcare businesses
• Stabilize your cash flow when payments are delayed, reduced, or inconsistent
• Identify financial and operational risks that quietly weaken your program
• Strengthen documentation, billing, and internal systems before issues arise
• Pivot your business model without emotional or rushed decisions
• Build a clear, practical plan for operating in today’s funding climate
Whether subsidy supports part of your revenue or most of it, this session gives you a smarter way forward.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This session is for:
• Childcare owners and operators who accept subsidy payments
• Leaders concerned about audits, compliance, or funding delays
• Providers who want a clear plan instead of reacting when problems arise
• Owners ready to take control of their numbers, systems, and long-term stability
If you want clarity, protection, and a real strategy, this room is for you.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
You will leave this session with:
• A clearer understanding of what is driving increased scrutiny and oversight
• Stronger systems for documentation, billing, and internal controls
• A framework for reducing financial risk and protecting your business
• Practical strategies for managing cash flow if subsidy payments are delayed or frozen
• The confidence to make smart business moves instead of panic decisions
This is about leadership, preparation, and protecting what you’ve built.

What Other Owners Are Saying
From Struggling to Scaling
“Before Elite, I struggled to hire, didn’t understand my numbers, had little marketing, low enrollment, and lacked confidence as an owner. One year with Latrice in Elite changed everything: I now have two thriving, full-capacity locations, I’m preparing for my third, built my dream team, understand my finances, found major money leaks, and doubled my annual revenue. It didn’t just change my business, it changed my mindset.”
Judith Felix, Tiny Tots, Riverside, California
Turning a Dream Into a Business
"Before working with Latrice, I didn’t even own a center, just an idea and no clue how to make it real. After one strategy session and six months of prep, I secured my first location and joined Childcare Clique Elite. With her coaching, I built systems, marketed to full enrollment, and turned it into a real business. In 18 months, I went from zero centers to three thriving locations, including a third secured with a government contract. This changed my life and my business."
Princess Harris, Journey With Me Learning Center, Raytown, Missouri
Coaching at the Next Level
“Before joining Elite, my business was already thriving. I’m an off-site owner netting about $450,000/year and preparing to open a second location. But I needed high-level coaching and rooms that would stretch me.
Elite delivered exactly that. The coaching has been a God-send, the work I’ve accomplished is mind-blowing, and my love for ownership is renewed because I’m finally at the right table. I’m locked in and enrolling my entire leadership team next. Grateful for Coach Latrice, Coach Jay, and the Elite experience. This didn’t just support my business, it elevated how I lead.”
