Expanding a child care business brings exciting opportunities, but it also comes with challenges that require a different approach to leadership and daily operations. In part two of their conversation with Tracey Hanley, owner and franchisor of Four Seasons Preschool, Child Care Genius Podcast hosts Brian and Carol Duprey dive deeper into what it takes to manage multiple locations, maintain high standards, and build a business that doesn’t depend on the owner being everywhere at once.

Listen in as Tracey shares how she maintains consistent curriculum standards across multiple locations while giving teachers the freedom to be creative in their classrooms. She also discusses the unique challenges of supporting franchise owners, the importance of strong communication, and the systems she’s developing to help every location succeed.

Thinking about expanding your own child care business? Tune in to hear Tracey’s advice for owners considering their next location, including why having a strong team, organized systems, and the ability to delegate are essential before taking that next step. She also opens up about what she wishes she had done differently, how coaching has already helped her shift responsibilities, and why learning to let go is so important for both business growth and personal balance.

Join us as Brian, Carol, and Tracey discuss the opportunities and challenges of franchising, what it takes to support new owners, and how the right guidance can make a difference. Whether you’re considering opening your first center, expanding to multiple locations, or simply looking for ways to make your current business run more independently, this episode is packed with practical insights from an owner experiencing rapid growth firsthand.
