Organization Overview

ECEd Partners is a strategic consulting firm built exclusively for the early childhood education industry — for school owners, multi-site operators, franchise systems, and the equity groups that invest in them. We turn decades of in-the-seat education leadership into measurable wins for your schools, your teams, and the families you serve.

Our founder has grown ECE platforms from a handful of sites to 70+ schools across 12 states, scaled revenue from $30M to $140M+ with EBITDA from $3M to $32M, and led 100+ zero-finding licensing and accreditation visits across 13 states and 8 accreditors — NAEYC, NECPA, Cognia, AMS, AMI, APPLE, GAC, and QR among them. A Georgia Titan 100 honoree and Women of Inspiration recipient, with active board leadership in ECE advocacy.

What we do:

Strategic Growth & M&A — acquisition pipeline, deal diligence, brownfield and greenfield strategy, multi-state expansion, and post-close integration of single sites and multi-school groups into one platform.

Operations & Systems — enrollment, retention, NPS, and quality programs; financial forecasting and reporting; KPI architecture; standardized policies and procedures; multi-unit operating systems built for scale.

Licensing & Compliance — pre-visit audits, corrective action planning, and compliance frameworks built around state licensing and national accreditation realities. A track record of zero-finding outcomes.

Leadership Development — succession planning and School of Leaders programs that develop assistant directors, school directors, and regional directors. P&L literacy, KPI ownership, enrollment buy-in, coaching, SEL, and positive classroom guidance.

Investor & Equity Advisory — diligence, strategic planning, integration, and operating-partner support for private equity platforms and family offices entering or scaling in ECE.

We are your school's trusted partner for future success - committed to quality care, regulatory excellence, and financial success.
