The childcare industry has very high standards and can be highly demanding. After all, taking care of kids and looking after their needs require focus, dedication, and passion. Not to mention, parents can be very particular in hiring only the best providers to ensure that their kids are well taken care of. Cognizant of these things, renowned childcare consultant Joy Maxwell has created Childcare University, a venture for those individuals who want to open or grow a high-quality childcare business.
The consulting agency recently launched an innovative 6-week accelerated program where people can learn the essentials of running and scaling a childcare brand. The comprehensive and step-by-step curriculum ensures that clients are equipped with the right tools, resources, and mindset to become successful in the job.
More specifically, the program provides all the necessary steps needed to help a center become star-rated using the Environmental Rating Scale. As the enterprise explained, “The Environmental Rating Scales (ERS) are a series of research scales used to assess process quality in early childhood care. There are four environmental rating scales, each designed for a different segment of the early childhood field.”
Through the 6-week course, the venture’s team of experts helps centers equip their facilities with the proper tools to achieve high scores with the ERS scales. This excellent strategy achieves higher quality ratings for quality assurance programs.
In addition, the brand offers other early childhood education modules such as The T.E.A (Technical Educational Assistance) and C.A.S.H. (Custom Analytical Solutions and Help). It also offers valuable certification courses, including a CDA Certification, CPR First Aid Training, and Professional Development.
Aside from the incredible program, what helps Childcare University stand out is the remarkable vision of its founder Joy Maxwell. When asked what motivated her to pursue a career in childcare, she looked back on her journey and shared, “I’m a retired school teacher, and I was making $40,000 a year. I was busted, depressed and disgusted; I was frustrated; I didn’t have hope. I knew something had to be better, and then I found childcare. Childcare changed the course of my life, and it’s my desire to bring hope to childcare as it’s an industry that has unsung heroes around the world.”
Using her exceptional principles and unrivaled expertise, Joy Maxwell has already helped scale countless childcare businesses. But most importantly, what makes the inspiring woman such an effective mentor is her commitment to creating long-lasting and meaningful connections with each of her clients.
As a testament to this extraordinary principle, one of her clients, Jomie Molina, has nothing but praise for the consultant. She wrote in a review, “Hi, Coach. Thank you so much for that much-needed prayer/insight this morning. After feeling encouraged by you, I was able to continue with my automated invoices and reminders of payment. I love you, sis. Thank you for being there every step of the way! Finding my joy with Mrs. Joy, my sister!”
Moving forward, Childcare University intends to continue its advocacy of elevating the level of childcare services around the country. Above all, it hopes to continue promoting its mission of “bringing Hope to Childcare.”
