How We Help
You didn't get into childcare to become a benefits expert or a financial strategist. That's where we come in. From the Sheperd benefits program to financial strategy, community, and free webinars, we handle the business side so you can get back to what you do best.

Everything we do is designed to solve the biggest challenges childcare center owners face: keeping great teachers, managing finances, and feeling supported.
Your teachers deserve real benefits, the kind that keep them from leaving for a school district job. We connect your center with the Sheperd benefits program designed specifically for small employers like you, so you can offer what the big guys offer without it costing you a dime.
Keep your best teachers by giving them a reason to stay.
Powered by Sheperd, serving 2,000+ employers with a 4.8 client rating
We help you look at the numbers with fresh eyes. From understanding what you're really spending to finding savings you didn't know existed, we work with you to build a financial foundation that actually supports the business you've built.
Make the math work so you can focus on what you love.

Running a childcare center can feel incredibly isolating. Our community of owners who get it, who've been where you are, is here to support you. Real conversations, real advice, real people who understand your world.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
