Marjorie Mallard Consulting Services
Through 23 years of childcare business ownership, I have developed a passion for assisting others in launching their own childcare and early education businesses. With no prior experience, only a commitment to providing a strong educational foundation for my children, I began my own childcare business in my two-car garage home in 2002. That very startup business has since evolved into a franchise brand. I've learned numerous lessons throughout this journey, which have equipped me to become the business owner I am today.
My mission is to empower young adults to:
- Establish robust foundations in essential business principles while ensuring the health and safety of the children in their care.
- Offer inspiration, empowerment, education, and mentorship to childcare business owners with aspirations to transform their business strategies.
- Provide sound business foundations and principles for new startups or providers looking to expand into the childcare center business.
- Impart business acumen for launching scalable childcare businesses.
My roles encompass:
- Motivational Speaker
- Childcare Business Franchise Consultant
- Author
- Childcare Business Educator
- Franchisor of my Proprietary Brand
