Opening your first location is a major accomplishment. Growing beyond it? That’s where the right support system makes all the difference.
Multi‑unit ownership is one of the most powerful paths to expanding your portfolio with confidence. But with more locations comes a greater need for structure and support. In fact, research in the child care industry shows that owners who expand too quickly or without the right support can experience challenges.
