About the show

As mothers who need to add money to the family budget, we thought we only had two options. Get a job and put our kids in daycare, or start a home daycare. But what if there was a third option… A better way that would allow you to create a consistent income AND make a difference in children’s lives… and still stay home with your kids? I’m Joy Anderson and this is the Preschool All Stars podcast where I’m going to share exactly how myself and thousands of other moms have created successful preschools, so you can do the same.

Need more students in your preschool—but you don’t want to ask parents to sign up? If so, you should listen in to our recent “Full by Fall” masterclass! Quinn Cooper went from elementary school principal to preschool owner without a huge marketing budget—and had to figure out how to get local families through her doors.
