Client Testimonials

"I have been involved with the Child Care Business Expo since its inception.  I can tell you that as a mom and business owner, child care is one of the most important issues a parent has to face.  Assuring that the child care industry is made-up of stable, successful business that are run by people that really care about children, helps families feel secure and confident.  The child care industry is about helping families, but it is also about assuring that we have a secure economic base for future growth of the family and of this country's well being.

"My philosophy is:  You don’t do things to fail, you do them to succeed. The WBDC and its Child Care Business Expo has helped me to really plan out how to open a free-standing child care center.  You don’t do it overnight: you need guidance and support.  There’s the finances, the curriculum and staff, and they all need to be considered as part of the plan. The WBDC has really been there for me."
