Elevate Spring 2026 | Application Deadline

April 9

Our Elevate cohort is designed for established licensed home providers and childcare center providers that have been in business for two or more years and are ready to grow strategically. Participants work with experts to identify growth opportunities, enhance capacity, and position their businesses for long term, sustainable expansion.

Through the Elevate Cohort, participants will follow a structured process to:

  • Develop a clear growth strategy
  • Strengthen leadership
  • Create an effective marketing plan
  • Implement operational best practices
  • Improve financial and operational performance

During this cohort, you’ll learn how to transition from a home-based daycare to a licensed center, while increasing profitability and operational efficiency. By the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a personalized 1-year growth plan to guide your next steps and support your long-term success.
