About this webinar

When your early childhood program’s mission calls for the highest quality services for families and the most qualified staff available, you need the finances to deliver! In this webinar, presented by experienced early childhood program leader and business expert, Karen Foster-Jorgensen, we will explore the challenges and  the opportunities that come with strong financial management. Strength in the current North American economy means the child care industry is experiencing a favorable climate for enrollment, but it also brings financial problems to solve. Leading your business to success in the new decade will require that you have responsive perspectives on program finances and clear strategies for revenue generation. As the program leader, you must be prepared to find the funds to balance mandates for high staff to child ratios, quality environments, and set expenses. For your program to thrive in the 2020's you will need to develop and implement strong financial processes to support the quality mission! This dynamic webinar  will show you how key performance indicators and accurate, timely financial information can help you make wise management decisions. By benchmarking forward progress in this pivotal year in the new decade, you can create a path to financial and mission success. In this webinar, you will:

  1. Explore a positive financial success mindset for the early childhood business.

  2. Examine enrollment and operational policies contributing to financial success.

  3. Review financial tools essential for wise management decision making. (budget building, record keeping, financial reports, analysis and forecasting)

  4. Identify strategies to create and maximize revenue opportunities.

  5. Select action steps for implementation for personal business success.
