Happy February, Everyone!

I am Tracy Hinton, the new Business Consultant for the North Central region. I have been trying to get out to meet as many of you as possible to tell you about our exciting new Business Enhancement Project. As a former family child care provider, I think this program can be a great benefit for our child care facilities.

What are we offering?

1. Three free years of Brightwheel (a child care management software that will help programs manage attendance, billing, parent communications, and more). If you already use Brightwheel, we can still get you signed up for the project and pay for your access for three years! If you use a different child care management software, you can still sign up for the project and enjoy the other benefits.

2. Targeted coaching and support for the business side of your programs. This applies to both family child care homes and centers.

3. Basically, we are here to help support and grow your business!

How do you qualify?

a. You must be a licensed child care program in the state of Oklahoma to apply.

b. You should have reliable internet access and a computer/device. However, if you do not, please do not let this stop you from applying. We may have resources that can help.

If you are interested in applying for the project, please e-mail me at thinton@delawarechild.org or call me at 918-766-2577, and I will send you the application form. If you have questions, please reach out to me, and I will do my best to answer them. If I haven’t made it out to visit you yet, I hope to see you soon!

P.S. Even if you do not wish to apply for the project, I am still here to support you with anything that I can, so please let me know if you need anything!

Sincerely,

Tracy Hinton
