When Training Isn’t the Problem Decisions Are

Paid coaching for child care owners and directors who need clarity around

leadership, staffing, growth, and next steps without trial and error.

Most Owners Reach Out When…

  • The director is trained, but execution is inconsistent

  • You’re stepping back in more than you should

  • Staffing decisions feel expensive and risky

  • Growth is possible — but the path isn’t clear

  • You don’t need more courses, you need better decisions

What Coaching Looks Like Here

Coaching with Texas Director is structured, paid decision support, not therapy, not cheerleading, and not ongoing unless it’s useful.

  • Work through real scenarios

  • Pressure-test decisions before they cost you

  • Translate training into action

  • Create a clear next move — not a long to-do list
