This Is Not A Generic Mentorship

This is for childcare owners who are ready to stop being the center of every decision and start leading a business that operates with structure, standards, and independence.

According to industry data:

  • Over 60% of childcare owners report chronic stress and emotional exhaustion

  • Nearly 1 in 3 leave the industry within 5 years, not due to lack of demand, but lack of sustainability

  • The majority of leadership breakdowns in childcare centers stem from boundaries, identity confusion, and emotional overload, not operational failure

Lets Be Real

Your business depends on you more than you want to admit.

Your team constantly comes to you for answers. Problems don't get solved unless you step in. You cant step away without something going wrong. You're involved in everything , big or small. Even when you're "off" ... you're still checking messages , still answering questions, and still managing behind the scenes. You built a business for freedom, but right now it feels like you've created a prison you cant escape.

And the most frustrating part?

You've been trying to fix this. You've:

  • Hired more staff

  • Trained your team multiple times

  • Set expectations that don't get followed

  • Tried to be more present, more involved, more available

  • But nothing actually changes. Because the issue isn't effort... The issue is structure. Your business was built around YOU being the solution. So no matter what you add, YOU'RE still the one holding everything together.

The Purpose of This 90-Day Mentorship

The Absent Owner Collective ™ was designed for you to be a part of the vision most owners wishing to be absent owners have. Imagine this, you wake up on a Monday morning, and you don't feel pressure. You don't feel urgency. You don't feel like everything is waiting on you. Your center is open, your team is operating and decisions are being made, WITHOUT you needing to step in. You're not reacting all day. You're leading. You've built a system that handles problems before they reach you, a team that operates with clarity and confidence, and standards that are followed even when your not present. You now have what you thought you were building from the start, a business that doesn't depend on you.

STEP INTO THE COLLECTIVE

I know this because I've lived it

I built a childcare center that relied on me for everything, and the moment I stepped away things started to fall apart. That's when I realized, it wasn't my team, it wasn't even my workload, it was how my business was built. So I rebuilt it intentionally, with systems, with structure, and with standards that allowed it to operate without me. Now I help those seeking absent ownership do the same.

  • I didn't understand leadership psychology

  • I didn't understand emotional regulation

  • I didn't understand authority without exhaustion

  • I didn't understand boundaries without guilt

  • I didn't understand sustainability without sacrifice

Who This Mentorship Is For

This mentorship is for you if :

  • You own a childcare center and feel stuck operationally, or just want to enhance your leadership skills to show up as a better leader

  • You are the go-to person for everything in your center, or you have issues relinquishing control and letting your leadership team do their job.

  • You can't step away without things falling apart, or in your mind you feel like if you aren't there something is bound to happen.

  • You want structure in your childcare center, not more chaos and confusion.

  • You are ready to show up as an owner who is detached emotionally , but attached operationally.

Who This Is Not For

This is NOT for you if:

  • You want quick fixes or shortcuts to rebuild your center under a new business model

  • You are not open to operational training while changing how your business operates

  • You are unwilling to examine your leadership patterns to become a better leader for your center.

  • You prefer to stay attached to your center emotionally instead of operationally

What Transformation Will Occur Over 90 Days?

Right now you are overwhelmed, reactive, and most importantly YOU ARE THE SYSTEM.

After The Absent Owner Collective: Your business runs on systems, not you. Your team operates with clarity and structure. You can step away without everything collapsing. You lead with intention instead of reacting to every issue. After 90 days with Sherri J you go from being needed for everything to being respected as the leader.

  • What behaviors do I tolerate that I secretly resent?
  • What does my staff believe they can get away with, and why?
  • What identity shift do I need to make immediately?


Outcome by the End of Month 1:
 You stop blaming staff, parents, or systems and start seeing leadership patterns clearly. We implement communication systems and chain of command so everything doesn't flow through you.

PHASE 2: Discernment, Boundaries & Control

You create clear non negotiables your team follows, without constant supervision

Core Question:
Why does everything still fall back on me?

Theme:
 Most owners don’t have a staffing problem. They have a discernment problem.

 You reclaim authority without micromanaging, or burning out. You stop accepting certain behavior patterns in your team and start building a center that supports your structure.

PHASE 3: Distance Leadership & Sustainability

Your center begins to operate on consistency , not your presence.

Core Question:
 How do I lead without being consumed?

Theme:
 If your center needs you daily, it’s not built. It’s dependent.

These are real childcare owners who made the decision to operate differently. They were once overwhelmed, constantly needed, and stuck in their centers, until they implemented structure, repositioned their staff, and changed how they lead. The results speak for themselves.
