You don’t have to run it alone
Free business coaching and support for licensed childcare operators across the Kootenays.
Childcare is changing across BC — and operators like you are at the heart of keeping our rural communities working. Through the Kootenay Childcare Initiative, licensed operators can access expert coaching and business support, at no cost.
01
You’d like more confidence in the business side of running your organization.
02
You have licensed spaces sitting empty because you can’t find qualified staff.
03
You’re ready to expand but need help with the financial and operational planning.
04
There’s a part of your business that’s hard to manage — or hard to understand.
05
You want your facility to be here for the long term, but you’re not sure where to start.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place
What's available
Free, practical leadership and operational support, built for how busy you actually are
Help that fits
around you

Drop in when you can
Casual, in-person leadership sessions in your community. Stop in when you can, talk through the real stuff, connect with leaders who get it.
Find your
people
Leading a centre can feel isolating, but it doesn't have to. Join a small group of childcare leaders for six guided virtual sessions to trade real solutions and build a network you can actually lean on.
