About Me
Welcome to my blog! I’m thrilled to share my journey and the wealth of knowledge I’ve gathered over my 25+ years as a childcare provider. My name is Laura Bare, and my path in this rewarding field has been filled with invaluable experiences, significant milestones, and personal growth
My Journey
I began my career in childcare over 25 years ago, dedicating myself to creating a safe, enriching environment for children to thrive. 10 years into my career, I hit a point of burnout from working more than full-time hours. This led me to step away from the industry for a few years.
During my time away, I gained a renewed appreciation for the importance of play-based childcare and reflected on how I could approach the operations of my home business differently. Armed with fresh insights and a better understanding of balancing work and personal life, I returned to the field with revitalized energy and a hopeful plan for success.
A New Beginning
Today it’s been 10 years since my return, in this time, I have developed a thriving childcare business that combines play-based learning with effective business practices. Childcare helped support us with additional income to buy our home and provided income during the recession. The joy of providing play-based care to our community while being present with and for my own children is something truly invaluable. I am committed to sharing everything I’ve learned to provide you with a roadmap, support, and resources for building your own successful childcare program.
Since starting in 1993, I have amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience that only decades in the industry can provide. I’ve been fortunate to have countless mentors, teachers, fellow childcare providers, and peers who have shown me the way. Now, I am committed to sharing everything I’ve learned to provide you with a roadmap, support, and resources for building your own successful childcare program
