Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license before starting the course?
No! Track 1 (START) walks you through the entire licensing process step-by-step. Many students begin the course while still in the dreaming stage.
Can I really earn $100K+ running a home daycare?
Yes — Chelsea does it. The course includes real numbers, tax strategies, and pricing frameworks that show you exactly how to get there. It's not overnight, but it's absolutely achievable with the right approach.
How is this different from free YouTube/blog content?
This is a structured, A-to-Z program — not random tips. You get Chelsea's original curriculum, templates, checklists, and a clear path from start to profit. No piecing things together from 50 different sources.
What if I already run a daycare?
Track 2 (RUN) and Track 3 (GROW) are built for you. Learn how to optimize operations, raise prices, add revenue streams, and expand — all from someone who's done it.
