Child Care Biz Consulting has such a wealth of information and experience. We were particularly blown away by the way Kirk blends business practices and the culture and care of his team to create a resilient model that takes care of children, families, staff, and practical business concerns.
Child Care Biz Consulting has provided valuable resources to our program over the years and lots of inspiration. I appreciate Kirk's ability to listen and to come up with suggestions that are helpful and make sense. Our staff have viewed a number of his YouTube videos that were extremely helpful in broaching sensitive subjects and our board was appreciative of the tour of their child care center in Grand Junction. We have implemented ideas from Child Care Biz Consulting in our day to day operations and look forward to what is coming next.

Child Care Biz Consulting has been a huge blessing and a huge help to our center. Kirk has gone out of his way to work with our center, answer any questions that we may have, meet us where we are at, and provide us with amazing tools that continue to help our center to this day. He understands the childcare industry and what it takes to push a business to the next level of success. We wouldn't be where we are today without Child Care Biz Consulting and the time Kirk invested in our center.
