What happens when you mix a passionate teacher, a business-savvy nurse practitioner, and a dream to build something of their own? You get Noah and Jennifer Smith—a dynamic duo who turned one child care center into three thriving schools in Pennsylvania. Tune in to this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast as Brian and Carol catch up with the Smiths to hear how they've grown their business, managed their time, and learned to delegate without losing their sanity.   Listen in as Jennifer shares her journey from employee to owner, how a leap of faith during COVID led to a life-changing purchase, and why opening a second school was far more challenging than the third. You'll hear the real story—the stress, the tears, the doubts—and the turning point that helped her finally let go and scale with confidence. Noah explains how he balances multiple businesses, a full-time job, and his role behind the scenes in the child care centers by sticking to a tight schedule and trusting the systems they've built.   Join us as we dive into how the Smiths' schools stand out from the crowd with top-tier quality ratings, programs that give back to under-resourced families, and a team culture that includes real benefits and support for teachers. This episode is packed with advice for anyone dreaming of opening their first child care center—or scaling beyond one.   From near-disastrous deals to smart investments, from daily check-ins to boundaries that protect their personal life, Noah and Jennifer reveal what it really takes to grow a successful business as a couple and as parents. If you're ready to scale, delegate, or just get inspired by a couple who figured it out together, this one's for you.       Mentioned in this episode:   GET TICKETS to the Child Care Genius LEVERAGE Conference:  https://childcaregenius.com/leverage/   Need help with your child care marketing?

The struggle to find childcare is something often heard on this show. And if you manage to find it, the cost of it can be astronomical…So, with many parents struggling to afford childcare, an army of grandparents have stepped up.But, are we too reliant on grandparents to plug the gaps?Joining Andrea to discuss is Katie Makk from the Opinions Matter podcast, Averil Sheenan from Care-a-lot Childcare in Cork and listeners.

Not every one of your accomplishments shows up on reports of children reaching milestones. Every day, there are quieter actions and interactions that show you are succeeding in this quest to nurture and educate early learners. Join Cindy and Alison for a discussion about the importance of tracking the wins that are less visible but just as significant.

Data shows a need for more than 12,000 child care spots across Nebraska. Communities across the state have utilized various tools and approaches to address the gap in their area. Child care leaders see engagement from most, if not all, stakeholders in the community as a common denominator of success.

Our Father Luke 11:1–13 What kind of Father invites you to pray? One who gave His Son for you. When Jesus teaches us to pray, He begins not with “Almighty God” or “Righteous Judge,” but with “Father.” That one word changes everything—it reveals not just a title but a relationship. In Christ, His Father is now your Father. His prayer is now your prayer. And yet, how easily we forget. We treat prayer like a last resort or a vending machine. We love the gifts more than the Giver. We go it alone. Earthly fathers, too, fall short—speaking in anger, failing to guide, or remaining absent. The Law shows us where we fall short as children and as parents. But Jesus points us to the cross, where the Father gave His Son to make us His own. In Holy Baptism, the Spirit teaches us to cry, “Abba, Father.” He gives us the courage to ask, seek, and knock. And the Father listens. He delights to hear your voice. That's why, just before the Supper, we pray the “Our Father.” It's the family table prayer of God's children. Here, the Father feeds us with the Body and Blood of His Son and says, “Welcome home.” ✝️ Worship with Us at Trinity – Sheboygan, WI Sundays – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Mondays – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org

The government is working to improve the childcare system in Australia, following serious allegations of abuse out of Melbourne. The bill would allow the government to cut off funding for centres who don't meet safety and quality standards. But some say it isn't enough. - Первые два законопроекта, внесённые в 48-й парламент, посвящены образованию. Один из них отвечает на предвыборное обещание лейбористов сократить студенческие долги на 20%, а другой — на шокирующие обвинения в жестоком обращении с детьми в Мельбурне. Законопроект позволит правительству прекратить финансирование центров, не соответствующих стандартам безопасности и качества. Но некоторые считают, что этого недостаточно.

Last week, we met Dominique (33) and Chris (34)—a couple earning $180K a year, raising a toddler, and still living paycheck to paycheck. Dominique felt alone in managing their finances, while Chris stayed disengaged, assuming things were fine. In Part One, we uncovered the cracks: a lack of communication, zero long-term planning, and growing resentment. Now, as their childcare costs are about to quadruple, will they be able to move past survival mode and start working as a team? Will Chris finally step up—and can Dominique let go of overthinking and accept support? In this episode we uncover: • How their expensive Arizona house became a symbol of both pride and financial strain. • The quiet resentment Dominique feels when Chris is out of work—and why she kept it to herself. • A surprising disconnect around how much they contribute—and who's really paying more. • Ramit's reality check about going month to month on a six-figure income. • Why Dominique's overthinking makes her feel in control—but leaves them stuck in place. • The false sense of security that's masking a dangerous truth: They have just two months of savings. • The emotional cost of living reactively—and what it will take for them to finally plan ahead.

What if one powerful moment with a teacher could change your child's entire future—and your own? In this heartfelt episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol sit down with child care business owner Jessica Lloyd, who shares how one life-altering conversation with her daughter's teacher sparked her journey into entrepreneurship. From music therapy to leading a thriving child care business in Utah, Jessica opens up about the personal experiences, struggles, and deep “why” that shaped her mission to build something truly special for children and families.   Listen in as Jessica reflects on her transition from corporate dreams to the hands-on reality of child care ownership. She reveals how her center was born not from a business plan—but from a mother's determination to create a space where her children would be genuinely seen, supported, and loved. You'll hear about the center that changed her daughter's developmental trajectory, and the teacher who simply said, “We'll see,” instead of accepting limits. That simple act of belief became the foundation for everything Jessica would go on to build.   Join us as Jessica shares how she now pours that same love and belief into her team, intentionally investing in leadership development, reading together as a staff, and creating a workplace culture rooted in connection. Her story reminds us that a strong mindset isn't just about staying positive—it's about staying grounded in purpose, surrounding yourself with the right people, and never losing sight of why you started.   Tune in to this episode to hear how coaching gave Jessica the clarity, structure, and community she needed to thrive—and why she believes every child care owner needs a tribe. Plus, don't miss her thoughts on attending destination conferences (yes, including Mexico!) and the powerful shift that happens when you finally step away from the noise and focus on building your dream with intention.     Mentioned in this episode:   GET TICKETS to the Child Care Genius LEVERAGE Conference:  https://childcaregenius.com/leverage/   Need help with your child care marketing?

The One Who Serves | Luke 10:38–42 Mary sat at the Lord's feet. Martha served with urgency. But Jesus did not rebuke Martha's service—He simply reminded her of what was most needful. In this moment from Luke's Gospel, we find both Mary and Martha giving and receiving. And in the middle of it all stands Jesus—the One who serves. He teaches, He receives, and He continues to do the same for us today. When we gather in worship, Christ serves us with His Word and Sacrament. And when we serve one another, He tells us that He receives it as service unto Himself. Key Takeaways: • Jesus comes to serve us in Word and Meal • We receive His gifts, and we respond in service • In serving others, we serve Christ Himself

They speak Dzalakha and follow Tibetan Buddhism, which is deeply woven into their cultural identity. Life among the Dzala is marked by poverty and simplicity, with little access to modern resources or gospel witness. No known Christians or evangelical believers exist among them, and they don't have a Bible or the Jesus Film in their language. Pray for workers to bring the good news to the Dzala, and for their hearts to hunger for the hope only found in Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 07/06 33,686Giving For 07/13 45,749YTD Budget 69,231Giving 79,435 OVER/(UNDER) 10,204 Fellowship Women's Recipe SwapJoin us TONIGHT for a night of tasting great food and exchanging time tested recipes with ladies from Fellowship.
