Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience in childcare to open a centre?

Not at all. We proudly work with both experienced educators and first-time entrepreneurs, recognizing that great childcare centres are built on a wide variety of strengths and backgrounds. For those with an education background, we help transform their passion for early learning into a sustainable business model. For new entrepreneurs, we provide the industry knowledge, tools, and guidance needed to navigate every step with confidence. Whether you bring years of classroom experience or are simply driven by the desire to create a positive impact in your community, we meet you where you are and guide you toward success.

Can you help if I don’t have a location yet?

Yes — we can help you source, assess, and plan your space to ensure it meets both your vision and regulatory requirements. From identifying suitable locations to evaluating layout, safety, and accessibility, we guide you through every consideration that goes into creating an effective childcare environment. Once the space is selected, we support you in designing classrooms, common areas, and outdoor play spaces that align with licensing standards while fostering a warm, engaging atmosphere for children and families. Our goal is to help you create a space that is not only functional and compliant but also welcoming and inspiring.

How long does the licensing process take?

It depends on the city, as timelines for approvals, permits, and licensing can vary widely, but you won’t have to navigate the process alone. We’ll guide you through every step, helping you understand local requirements, prepare the right documentation, and stay on track with deadlines. Our team’s experience allows us to anticipate potential challenges and provide proactive solutions, so you can avoid unnecessary delays and keep your project moving forward smoothly. With our support, you’ll have a clear roadmap tailored to your city’s process, giving you confidence and peace of mind from start to finish.

Do you offer support after my centre opens?

Absolutely. Our commitment extends well beyond opening day—we stay on to help you navigate every aspect of staffing, operations, and growth. This means supporting you with hiring and training a strong team, streamlining daily processes, and implementing systems that keep your centre running smoothly. As your business grows, we provide guidance on scaling sustainably, maintaining compliance, and ensuring your programs continue to deliver exceptional quality. With our ongoing partnership, you’ll have the confidence and resources to not only manage your centre effectively but also position it for long-term success and impact in your community.
