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.
