When you're caught up in the day-to-day responsibilities of running your school, planning for the future can become the last thing on your mind.

But thinking about what comes next for your center is essential to setting goals that will help you build a school of excellence and a legacy you can be proud of.

And oftentimes, those goals involve raising funds to make those big-picture projects a reality.

If the mere mention of building an investment portfolio raises your heart rate, you're not alone. After all, most of us don't get into the early childhood education business because we have a love for finance.

Fortunately, there are things you can start doing today to begin familiarizing yourself with investing and open your mind to the possibility of raising capital for your center.

As part of a special bonus podcast series, I invited Scott Wayman from Kangarootime to chat with me about how to strategically plan for the future of your school.

Join Scott and I for a conversation about:

• Why raising funds is an important and timely topic for owners
• How we can initiate the conversation around funding in early childhood education
• How to plan for the future when you're trying to cover regular expenses
• What to consider when looking to raise funds for your school

While the thought of raising funds can be daunting, you are more than capable of taking on the challenge. What's more,  by investing in your center, you'll be working to ensure that the impact on your community extends years into the future.
