Schools of Excellence: The No. 1 ECE & Private School Leadership Podcast

224. The Enrollment Gear


Listen Later

When was the last time you looked at your enrollment numbers and thought, “This is fine?” Many school leaders mistake “not terrible” for “optimal” — and it's costing them more than they realize.

One of our clients, Missy, thought her multi-location program was doing “fine” too. Her center wasn't full, but that was just the nature of that location ... or so she thought.

After implementing three specific systems, that same center enrolled 80 new families for the upcoming school year and five new immediate enrollments — all within 30 days.

The most surprising part? None of these changes required working longer hours.

What Missy discovered is something most school leaders don't realize: There's a profound difference between enrollment activity and enrollment results.

Most centers focus on what I call “red activities” — things that feel productive but don't actually drive enrollment. Meanwhile, the “green activities” — those closest to generating revenue — get pushed aside.

Is your school truly optimized for enrollment, or are you settling for “good enough?”

The truth is, most school leaders don't even realize how much potential revenue they're missing. That's why I created a 2-minute assessment that reveals exactly where your hidden enrollment opportunities lie.

  • Which of your current practices are actually costing you enrollments
  • Your exact score compared to schools that consistently maintain 95+% capacity

The difference between 75% and 95% enrollment isn't just a few extra children; it's tens of thousands in additional revenue and the freedom to focus on excellence rather than survival.
