Growth often starts with a hard moment—and what you do next can change everything.

In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Sindye Alexander, COO of Child Care Genius, sits down with Christine McNally, owner of Under the Magic Pine Tree in Nevada and business coach with Child Care Genius University. Christine shares how a personal experience as a parent led her to open her first center and how her passion for the Reggio-inspired approach has shaped her leadership and fueled her expansion to three thriving schools.

Tune in as Christine discusses navigating COVID shutdowns, securing a million-dollar expansion grant, and scaling with strong systems, trusted partners, and a clear vision. She offers practical insights on leading teams, building trust with families, and keeping culture consistent across multiple locations.

You'll also hear fresh ideas for family engagement, staff empowerment, and using mindset as a business tool. This conversation will leave you thinking about how to strengthen your systems, nurture your team, and create a center culture that grows right along with your business.
