Calling all aspiring and current preschool owners who want to build their dream team!
The Teacher Foundation Academy is the ultimate solution for taking you from 'barely making it' and 'I don't think I can do this to building a solid foundation for classroom, licensing and teacher systems!
Next Cohort Starts: April 6, 2025
Isn't it time for you to be the one with all the teachers, full classrooms, and a waitlist?
SAY IT WITH ME...
YES IT IS!!!
Listen... I get it.
As a preschool director, you're in the thick of it every day. From little ones running around, staff needing direction, and a never-ending list of to-dos, it's all too easy to feel completely overwhelmed!
WHEN I SAY "I GET IT," I TRULY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
Ever feel like hiring a new teacher means starting from square one, trying to piece together that giant to-do list in your head? And then, because it's already eaten up half your day, you just shrug, and call it done?
​
​
How many times have you skipped a staff training or meeting because you weren't prepared, didn't know what to teach, forgot about it altogether, or simply didn't have the mental capacity to go through with it?
​
​
Have you spent hours creating lesson plans for your classrooms only to walk in and see the teacher doing something completely different?
​
​
Remember the time you hired a new teacher and told them where they would be working, and they told you they've never worked with that age group before?
​
​
Do you feel like a hostage in your own preschool? You're always involved in every little thing, no one knows what to do without you, and you're constantly having to repeat the same things over and over again.
IF THESE HIT HOME FOR YOU, THIS PROGRAM IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
What if...
-
You could assess the needs of your preschool center so you know who you need to hire and for what?
-
Creating policies turned out to be less of a headache than you thought because you'd have a template to plug and play with?
​​
-
Implementing systems didn't take as long because you'd have a step-by-step blueprint?
​​
-
You could hire and onboard a new teacher without spending hours of face-to-face time?
​​
-
You didn't have to be involved in every little thing, and there was another option your staff could go to for answers?
Hi, I'm Lakeshia, and I help preschool owners set up simple, effective systems that help them get their tasks done quicker and give them back some much-needed time!
I've been in the early childhood education world for over ten years, playing roles from teaching little ones in pre-K and kindergarten to diving into child development studies, training up-and-coming teachers, and, yes, even running my own preschool right now. So believe me when I say, I get it. I've been in your shoes, facing the same daily hurdles, feeling the same pressures.
​
That's exactly why I stepped into the role of a Childcare Coach. When I first started my preschool, I would have given anything to have someone experienced to lean on, someone who could have warned me about the pitfalls and dodge the countless mistakes I made. Those mistakes weren't just headaches; they hit my pocket hard and took up precious time.
​
I'm here to be that person for you, so you don't have to learn everything the hard way, keep your money in your pocket, and make sure your dream of running a preschool is everything but a nightmare.

HERE TO HELP YOU SKIP THE MISTAKES, SAVE TIME, AND MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
