Enrollment marketing, operations, and Colorado UPK strategy — built on what worked at our own school, not an agency playbook.
Three years ago my wife and I bought a one-classroom preschool in Lakewood that ran entirely on paper. Here is what the systems below did for it:
Same school, same market — different systems.
Google Business Profile and local search, website fixes that turn visits into booked tours, review strategy, and neighborhood campaigns. The goal is simple: when a nearby parent searches, they find you — and choose you.
Digital enrollment, registration, and automated billing — including brightwheel setup and migration, which we run daily at our own school. Less paper, fewer chased payments, hours back every week.
Colorado Universal Pre-K setup, compliance, and the numbers behind your decisions: program mix, pricing, staffing, and expansion — modeled, not guessed. I set up UPK at our school from scratch.
I co-own and operate a preschool in Lakewood, Colorado with my wife, who leads the educational program while I run the business side. Before that: twelve years in Big 4 consulting, a software startup, museum operations, and a career that started in fine arts and design.
That mix is the practice: an owner who has done the enrollment scramble and the licensing paperwork, with the consulting and design background to build systems other schools can run themselves.
I work with a small number of schools at a time, and only schools far enough from my own that we never compete for the same families.
Tell me about your school and what's hardest right now. First conversation is 20 minutes, free, and useful whether or not we work together.
