I am Tracy Wilson, founder of Elevate Early Ed, and I understand firsthand how daunting it is to start or grow a childcare business in 2025. With escalating expenses, complex regulations, and ongoing staffing shortages, many daycare leaders feel overwhelmed and stretched thin. Yet, now more than ever, quality early education is essential for the futures of children and the well-being of families.

That’s why I launched Elevate Early Ed: to empower daycare owners and directors to rise above challenges and build flourishing programs. My journey has been deeply rooted in this field. I’ve been an educator, a director of elite preschools, a business owner, and a mother. I built a five-star, NAEYC-accredited center from the ground up, earning Director of the Year honors among hundreds of peers nationwide. A testament to my commitment to excellence.

With over 36 years dedicated to early childhood, from leading Military Family Childcare Homes to guiding centers around the globe, my expertise is grounded in real-world experience.

What sets Elevate Early Ed apart is a genuine, compassionate approach. I recognize the weight you carry, the constant balancing of staff dynamics, family expectations, compliance demands, and the relentless pursuit of high-quality care. We provide actionable support tailored to your unique needs: from navigating licensing and compliance to boosting enrollment, refining hiring and retention, delivering practical training, and offering vital certifications like CPR, First Aid, and SIDS.

You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Together, we’ll build a dependable team, maximize your resources, and elevate your program, without sacrificing your passion or peace of mind. Because your dedication shapes futures, and your program deserves to thrive.
