"Julie Bartkus has written a masterpiece that should be put into the hands of every child care business owner and director. Her insightful interviews and easy-to-follow success model make this book a gem. Her book is awesome and one I simply couldn't stop reading!"

--Regina Miller, Owner, Princeton Children's Center

"Being mentored by Julie Bartkus has brought me so many gains, both professionally as a child care business owner and personally. As I've implemented her strategies over these past two years that we've been working together, I've seen a transformation in my business that I didn't even know was possible. In the first three weeks alone we enrolled thirty-six children--far more than we ever had enrolled before in that short of a time.

"But the benefits far exceed enrollment. My vision has become a powerful force in our program. Families recognize a difference in our program and want to be part of what we offer. Our teaching team has become more professional and aligned with the vision of the company to wrap our arms around our families. We no longer struggle with petty problems, but instead forge pathways to new levels of excellence. In one year we went from a program with a provisional license to a four-star program, and we have increased revenues for our single site by over $200,000 per year.

"As I read this book I recognized so much of what Julie taught me through her mentoring. I know this book will have a powerful impact on other child care business owners and directors who are looking for a way to reach much higher goals in their child care businesses."

--Mary Wardlaw, Owner, The Children's Center
