Built by a childcare owner, for childcare owners

The Childcare Operating System comes from Marnie Forestieri and The Innovation Advantage Learning Group — a team that runs real schools and knows what it takes to keep classrooms excellent, families happy, and the business healthy at the same time.

Most childcare owners didn't open a school because they loved writing procedures. They did it for the children and families. But as a school grows, the difference between a hard week and a smooth one usually comes down to one thing: whether the way things get done lives in one person's head — or in a system everyone can follow.

The Childcare Operating System writes those systems down. The book organizes everything a school does into five systems — Marketing, Enrollment, Customer Service, Operations, and Finance — and shows you how to audit, document, and improve each one.
