E240 How Child Care Owners Can Hit 2026 Goals With Simple Math with Brian and Carol Duprey

As we ring in 2026, it's the perfect time to trade vague New Year's resolutions for a clear plan that actually moves your business forward. In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey dive into practical goal setting for child care owners and leaders who want real traction, not another year of good intentions. Listen in as they share why annual goals tend to fall apart and how to plan in quarters instead. They walk you through the 12-week goal framework they teach inside Child Care Genius University and explain how breaking your year into focused "work blocks" keeps you motivated, accountable, and consistent. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at the systems that make goal setting stick: weekly leadership meetings, getting your directors and admin team aligned, and using a simple scorecard to track what matters most. Brian and Carol talk about what to measure (enrollment, tours, staffing, training hours, past-due balances, and more) and why tracking weekly creates the kind of trends that help you lead proactively, not reactively. You'll also hear the "math that never lies" when it comes to filling open seats, including how many tours you need based on your openings and how small weekly improvements can create big growth over time. Press play for clear takeaways you can implement right away and start 2026 with momentum.   Mentioned in this episode: GET TICKETS to the Child Care Genius LEGACY Conference:  https://childcaregenius.com/legacyconference/   Need help with your child care marketing?
