E194 Stop Losing Money: Operational Mistakes Child Care Owners Can't Afford to Ignore with Brian and Carol Duprey


Listen Later

What if the biggest leaks in your finances aren't coming from your budget—but from how you run your center day to day? In this powerful final episode of the Profitability Killers series, Brian and Carol Duprey dive into the last three costly mistakes that silently drain money from child care businesses—and what you can do to stop them.

Listen in as Brian and Carol break down operational missteps like underutilized technology, lack of long-term planning, and failing to mystery shop your competition. They discuss how even well-meaning owners end up wasting time, money, and tools they've already paid for—and how a few simple adjustments could dramatically improve efficiency and financial health.

The episode also explores the high cost of licensing violations and the importance of building a respectful, collaborative relationship with your licensor. You'll learn why being proactive and positive with licensing officials can not only keep you in compliance—but also protect your reputation and insurance rates.

Finally, the Dupreys tackle one of the most hot-button topics in the child care world: enforcing notice periods when a parent leaves without warning. Is it worth chasing two weeks of tuition, or could it backfire in ways that cost far more? Tune in for their candid take, packed with real-world wisdom and strategies to safeguard your business—and your peace of mind.
