Fall Directors Summit: Map Your Growth, Enrollment and Marketing Strategies for 2027
A business and marketing summit for child care directors and owners who are ready to fill seats, strengthen their brand, and grow their profit in the new year.
Saturday, November 21, 2026 (9am-1pm) | 6 Clock hours? .6CEUs
THE PROBLEM → You became a director to lead. Now you're also the marketer, the enrollment team, and the CFO.
Open seats cost you money every week. Social media feels like a full-time job. Families have more options than ever, and the plan you used last year may not carry you through the next one.
You don't need more ideas. You need a clear plan, built with people who understand child care.
THE PROMISE → Walk out with your 2027 growth map.
In one powerful day, you'll learn proven strategies from industry leaders, hear what's working right now from directors in the field, and leave with a plan you can start using Monday morning.
