The Child Care Business Summit
About this Event
Freedom to Scale Business Summit
A Leadership & Business Summit for Child Care Center Owners, Preschool Directors, and Early Childhood Leaders
June 25–27, 2026 | Sacramento, California
Running a successful child care business requires more than a passion for children. Today's child care owners are navigating staffing shortages, workforce challenges, rising operating costs, employee retention, parent expectations, and the constant pressure of balancing leadership with day-to-day operations.
If you feel like your business depends on you for everything, you're not alone.
Freedom to Scale is a three-day business summit designed specifically for growth-minded child care center owners, preschool directors, and early childhood leaders who are ready to move from working in their business to confidently leading their business.
This is not a licensing training.
This is not another conference filled with theory.
This is a practical, implementation-focused business experience that will help you build a stronger team, create better systems, improve accountability, reclaim your time, and develop a business that can grow without depending entirely on you.
During this three-day experience you'll learn how to:
- Build a stronger leadership team
- Improve employee accountability and ownership
- Hire and retain the right people
- Develop systems that reduce daily overwhelm
- Delegate with confidence instead of micromanaging
- Create a healthier workplace culture
- Strengthen profitability and operational efficiency
- Build a business that becomes a valuable asset—not just another job
Day One: Diagnosis
Discover where your business is truly stuck and identify the leadership patterns that may be limiting growth.
Day Two: Architecture
Build the leadership systems, hiring strategies, workforce structures, and operational foundations that create sustainable growth.
Day Three: Implementation
Leave with a customized 90-day action plan, practical implementation tools, accountability, and momentum to begin making meaningful changes immediately.
Whether you own one center or multiple locations, you'll leave with practical strategies you can begin implementing the moment you return to work.
This Summit Is Perfect For:
- Child Care Center Owners
- Preschool Owners
- Early Childhood Program Directors
- Multi-Site Child Care Operators
- Executive Directors
- Leadership Teams
- Owners preparing to scale or step back from daily operations
If you're ready to stop carrying your entire business alone and begin building a stronger business, stronger team, and greater freedom, this summit is for you.
You don't need another notebook full of ideas.
You need a plan you can actually implement.
Join us for three transformational days designed to help you lead with confidence, reclaim your time, and create a child care business built for long-term success.
Freedom to Scale
