The Clarity Collective is a 6-month live group coaching experience with Kelley for early childhood operators generating $150K–$500K who are ready to stop figuring it out alone and start leading as the CEO they already are.
For the early childhood operator who is ready to step into her identity as a… Focused CEO.
Leading with confidence, letting go of what no longer belongs to her, and building a business that wins at work AND at home.
Preschool Owners, Childcare Directors, & All Early Childhood Business Operators…
We see you...
You’ve got the drive, the passion, and the skills, but something’s holding you back from leading your Early Childhood business like the CEO - Confident Early Childhood Operator - you want to be.
Maybe you're feeling the struggle of work-life balance and wanting more time, freedom, and flexibility.
You feel like you are spending tons of time on enrolling, trying to find families, getting on discovery calls, giving tours, and that time doesn’t always turn into an enrollment.
Perhaps you have been operating a preschool or childcare for a while now, but can’t seem to ditch the exhausting overwhelm that comes from working long days with nothing checked off your to-do list.
Are you tired of getting in your own way, letting the chaos control you, and being distracted by the constant little fires that come up every day?
Now is the perfect time for you to outshine, elevate your business operations game, and be the confident leader you are meant to be, so you can gain more time freedom and live the life YOU choose!
This is your time to…
lead w/clarity & confidence!
And we have just the Early Childhood Business Operations System you need to stop the time sacrifice struggle!
I have been where you are for over 25 years... and I get it!
If YOU are doing everything in your business, you're more than likely...
OVERWHELMED by everything that needs to get done
FILLING YOUR DAYS with tasks that could be automated or outsourced
JUMPING from tired to feeling burnt out, hoping to find the ultimate solution to drive your business forward
SICK of having things fall through the cracks
FRUSTRATED . . . you can’t seem to gain any ground. You work harder and harder, and then everything else starts to suffer (your family, your health, your relationships)
ANNOYED that you can’t control the chaos when you take time off (so you don’t take time off)
DISTRACTED by all the things you think you need to be doing or learning
FEELING LIKE A HOT MESS and flying by the seat of your pants most days
SUFFERING from self-doubt and want to be leading your business, not merely managing it
If you’re nodding your head thinking, “She’s totally in my head!”
That’s because I was once exactly where you are...
I understand the struggle for work-life balance is real in a business that’s main focus is other people's most prized possessions in life.
I left my senior management role at KinderCare Learning Centers to start my own boutique preschool nearly 20 years ago and experienced all of those same struggles. I was a classic people-pleaser, chronically undercharging and over-delivering.
It wasn’t until I developed and mastered the CEO Leadership & Profit Engine in early 2012, that everything changed. Over the course of 1 school year, I shifted my entire business model so I could better manage my preschool business and have the time freedom I wanted for myself.
I went from having to spend too much time enrolling, too little time team building, and never really being able to control the chaos or clear the constant parent overwhelm… to building a profitable business, leading a team with confidence, and not having to be on-site every single day.
Not only was my enrollment more consistent, but I also continued to grow my bottom line, working just 3-4 days per week, achieving my goal for more time freedom and work-life balance.
And now, nearly 15 years later, I can honestly say that having a simple, step-by-step Early Childhood Business Operations System to follow is your one-way ticket to becoming a HAPPIER, more FULFILLED, and FINANCIALLY-FREE Early Childhood business operator!
Take a minute and just imagine a business where…
My guess is that this would be life-changing for you!
I’m here to tell you it’s TOTALLY possible, and it can happen sooner than you think!
Running an Early Childhood Business DOES NOT need to be draining, soul-sucking, or a recipe for burnout.
You CAN do what you love, and do it on YOUR terms!
You can be the CEO
Confident Early Childhood Operator
needed to grow your profitable business.
But here comes the tricky part:
Owning and running an Early Childhood Business can be…
very challenging!
If you’re like most of the Early Childhood Business operators I’ve worked with (and like I was a while ago), you feel the need to do everything yourself.
And I get it! Because I’m pretty sure the voice in your head is saying the same things mine was . . .
“Our school/center is not making enough money right now to hire someone to help.”
“I’ve tried this before, it’s more trouble than it’s worth. I spend all this time training someone on my team to help and either their work stinks, or they just end up creating more for me to do!”
“By the time I show someone what to do, I might as well do it myself.”
“I don’t even know what I would give another person on my team…where would I start?”
But thinking this way is the path to overwork, overwhelm, and exhaustion.
Because the truth is that your Early Childhood Business will never really accelerate if you’re the ONLY one who can make things happen.
→ Is Oprah in front of the camera and behind the camera? Does she schedule her guests?
→ Is the chef cooking the food, serving, washing the dishes, and clearing the table?
Of course not! And when you can get out of the cycle of overwhelm and stop letting the chaos control your business . . .
This is your time to…
lead with clarity & confidence!
And we have just the Early Childhood Business Operations System you need to stop the time sacrifice struggle!
You can become the
CEO
Confident Early Childhood Operator
Truly lead your early childhood business, and not merely manage it.
Early Childhood CEO's Have...
A Business Operations System designed specifically for EC Businesses.
Documented processes (simple checklists) that anyone can follow.
They can take a vacation without worrying if their business will crash or something will break (and no, they don’t need to be checking their phones all the time either!)
They can hire someone or promote a team member, and within 1-2 days, they’re performing Business Operations tasks from a checklist completely independently.
They have results that are consistent because they have a predictable way of doing things that works every time.
And they have an operations-based system and people that make their business run on autopilot so that they can focus on the high-leverage things ONLY they can do and want to do.
Imagine if there was an opportunity to have….
Brilliant guidance from mentors you can trust, support to fill in all the missing pieces, and a genuine community of like-minded people to help you grow as a business owner and the EC CEO you are meant to be…
It’s 1000% possible for you, and it can happen sooner than you think!
Are you ready to level-up your life and business?
A monthly membership designed to take you from being the bottleneck in your business to a true Early Childhood CEO who runs a systems-based Early Childhood Business.
Our core mission is to help Early Childhood Business owners/managers like you control the chaos, ditch the exhausting overwhelm, and find more joy operating a profitable business that makes a difference in the lives of others.
I’ll guide you through a simple, step-by-step, operations-focused system that gives you the tools you need to lead with confidence, control the chaos, and grow your profitable business with more joy and time freedom.
Born out of everything we’ve learned from 20+ years of running our own boutique preschools, PLUS nearly 10 years of teaching thousands of preschools a step-by-step framework, revenue strategy, systems, SOP’s, team building resources, and even more tools!
Here's how we'll make it happen each month:
Expert Training with Kelley, based on the CEO Leadership & Profit Engine
Direct access to Kelley’s expertise, insights, and guidance in an expert training focused on the foundation for building your business. You can’t systemize your business without a strong foundation to build upon. You’ll set up your initial standards, systems, and operating procedures. This is easier than you think, even if your business is currently completely disorganized.
Live Clarity Coaching Sessions
Ongoing, individualized guidance, coaching, and support from Kelley. Hot seats, mentorship, and more. We will answer any in-depth questions you have, whether they’re about your enrollment strategy, team building, sales, marketing, or anything else you’re looking for support on. You can always watch or listen to the time-stamped replay if you can’t make it live!
Annual 2-Day Mastermind, Private Community, & Accountability Groups
A virtual, immersive workshop to help you focus on specific business topics and challenges that may be arising. Craving more connection with your peers? Connect and collaborate with fellow early childhood business operators who are going through the same things you are and expand your thinking. This is where so much of the magic happens! Get to know the team, and each other on a deeper level, support one another, partner up on projects, share ideas and tips, get your questions answered, and cultivate those lifelong biz bestie relationships!
Weekly Expert Calls & Trello Access to Your Coach
Having an immediate issue? No problem. Specific days and specific times are set aside for you to call in and get the immediate help you need. Or access your coach through Trello. Instant support when you need it!
1:1 Onboarding, Milestone Calls, & Quarterly Goal Planning
During your first six months in the program, you’ll have several key milestones to hit, and we want to ensure you’re on the right track from the very beginning. That’s why these custom-tailored 1:1 calls are designed to guide your implementation of the program, help you stay focused, and answer any personalized questions you have. After that, we will move to quarterly goal planning.
Early Childhood Business Templates & Resources
Every month, there is a new, step-by-step, easy-to-follow template. These are many of the exact materials we use every day in our boutique preschools. These will help you to manage the day-to-day without a lot of headaches. Resources to build a team that takes ownership of your business. everything you need to “swipe and deploy” in your own business. It took me hundreds of hours to create these, so imagine all the time it will save you!
On top of all that, you'll also get access to a curated bonus suite to help you cross the finish line faster...
6-Month Access to the Preschool Business Blueprint Curriculum
A comprehensive course that will give you everything you need to lead your early childhood business with confidence and clarity.

The Clarity Collective, which is designed for you, is…
business-centered
results-driven.
Enrolling in the Clarity Collective is really about having true accountability and personal responsibility for taking small action steps every day–strategic action steps that add up, and will propel you to your next level goals.
It’s about having an experienced mentor in your back pocket, a Zoom call away, for when you get stuck, feel overwhelmed, and want to call it quits!
It’s about overcoming your scarcity mindset blocks, imposter syndrome, and taking messy, imperfect action even when it feels scary.
It’s about surrounding yourself with a high-level group of other Early Childhood business owners who will become your friends, business partners, and collaborators.
Who is this NOT for?
❌ You’re just starting out and have not opened a business yet.
❌ You’re looking for a silver bullet or instant results. This is not one of those. Success takes focus, time, and effort, which is why our program is 6 months long.
❌ You’re one of those people who love to learn, but then never actually do the work, ask questions when you’re stuck, or show up for the calls.
❌ You don’t enjoy connecting with others in your industry who are doing similar work, and you’re afraid to be visible and vulnerable.
❌ You tend to blame other people and circumstances and you always come up with excuses why things won’t work for you.
Who is this for?
If you are an Early Childhood Business operator who does amazing work and is ready for more time, more profit, and more momentum in your life and business, this is for you.
If you know that scaling your business through a simpler and more streamlined business model is where you want to go–and you are ready for the strategy, support, fresh ideas, accountability, and fun along the way, this is for you.
If you are ready to stop being a slave to your team and families, and you are ready to take your business to the next level, this is for you.
If you are a dedicated Early Childhood professional who is ready to control the chaos and lead with confidence as you grow your profitable preschool or childcare center, this is for you.
The Clarity Collective is designed for the Focused CEO, the operator who has moved from surviving and seeing to actively leading. She knows the path forward exists. She just needs the right guide and the right group alongside her.
The purpose of your life is not to serve your business.
The purpose of your business is to serve your life.
Now, imagine what your life would be like if you showed up as an Early Childhood CEO...
Things run with the chaos controlled...
You’re finally growing your business…without spending every minute of every day working in your business...
You wake up well-rested and confident, knowing that your business operates smoothly with the systems you have in place...
Things get done without needing your constant attention or approval...
When a team member is out, someone else can take over without missing a beat (because everything is completely documented & systemized)...
No more overwhelm and stress...
You can take time off whenever you want...
Your business functions perfectly and efficiently without you!
So if you want to step into the CEO role of your business and finally breathe a sigh of relief because it’s not all on your shoulders...
If you’re ready to ditch the “I can do it all badge of honor” and finally start growing the business you were meant to have with the time freedom you deserve . . .
If this sounds amazing to you, and you’re ready for my support, experience and guidance, along with a powerhouse group of new biz besties, I would love for you to join!

Live expert training with Kelley based on the CEO Leadership & Profit Engine
Live group coaching calls with hot seat coaching, Q&A, and mentorship
Weekly office hours — drop in, get unstuck, keep moving
Monthly business resource and behind-the-scenes training from our operating preschools and play cafés

You'll also receive 1:1 onboarding and milestone calls during your first six months, access to the Annual 2-Day Virtual Mastermind, and Trello access to your coach between sessions. Everything you need to implement is in one place and accessible throughout your 6-month commitment.
-
Shine is your self-directed starting point. For $47/month, you get monthly recorded trainings, templates, resources, and community access. Everything you need to begin building your foundation as a Shine CEO on your own timeline.
The Clarity Collective is the coached path. For $297/month or $2,500 paid in full, you get everything in a deeper, more supported format. Live sessions with Kelley, weekly office hours, 1:1 milestone calls, full Preschool Business Blueprint access, and a community of Focused CEOs who are doing this work alongside you. If Shine gives you the map, the Clarity Collective puts Kelley in the car with you.
If you're not quite ready for the Clarity Collective commitment, start with Shine. When you're ready to accelerate, the path to the Clarity Collective will be clear.
-
The Preschool Business Blueprint is Kelley's comprehensive online course covering all six Profit Boosters of the CEO Leadership & Profit Engine. It includes nearly 40 video lessons with downloadable resources, templates, and tools. Everything you need to professionalize your early childhood business operations.
As a Clarity Collective member, you receive full access to the PBB curriculum for the duration of your 6-month membership. You'll work through the modules alongside your monthly live trainings with Kelley so the course content and coaching reinforce each other at every step.
-
Life happens! Especially when you operate an early childhood business. Every live session is recorded and time-stamped so you can find exactly what you need in the replay. You can also submit your questions in advance and watch the answers at your convenience. Most members tell us they watch replays at 1.5x speed while commuting or during their lunch break.
That said, the live calls are where the real breakthroughs happen. Hot seat coaching, peer energy, and real-time problem solving are hard to replicate on replay. We encourage you to protect at least one live call per month as a non-negotiable CEO investment in yourself.
-
The 6-month commitment exists because real transformation takes time. Early childhood businesses don't turn around in a week, and neither does the way you lead one. Six months gives you enough runway to work through every Profit Booster, implement real systems, and actually feel the shift from operator to CEO.
You're protected with our 30-day money-back guarantee. If you join and within the first 30 days you don't feel the Clarity Collective is the right fit, email us, and we'll cancel and refund your investment, no questions asked.
After the first 30 days, your 6-month commitment remains in effect. This protects you as much as it protects us. It keeps you in the room long enough to see results.
-
You have two options:
Pay in Full — $2,500 Save $282 versus the monthly plan. One payment, six months of full access. This is the option for operators who are fully committed and want to start without any ongoing payment to manage.
Monthly Payment Plan — $297/month Six monthly payments over your commitment period. This option is identical in access and support. The only difference is how you pay.
Both options include everything listed on this page. There are no hidden fees or upsells inside the program.
-
Your private CEO community lives in a dedicated Facebook group. As soon as your enrollment is verified, you'll receive an invitation to join. Inside, you'll find your fellow Focused CEOs, early childhood operators who are on the same path, doing the same work, and showing up for each other. Post your questions, share your wins, ask for feedback on a tough decision, or just vent about the day. This community gets it in a way most people in your life simply can't.
-
The Clarity Collective is designed for operators who are already in motion, ideally earning $150K or more annually and ready to move from managing their business to leading it. If you're just opening your doors or haven't yet hit consistent revenue, the Shine Membership is a better starting point. It will give you the foundation and tools to build toward the level where the Clarity Collective makes the most sense.
Not sure which fits you better? Take the free CEO Leadership Assessment at kelleypeake.com/ec-leader-assessment-1 — the results will point you in the right direction.
-
Most Clarity Collective members invest 4–6 hours per month in the program. Less time than you currently spend putting out one week of daily fires. Here's what that typically looks like:
Live training with Kelley — 60–90 minutes
Group coaching call — 60–90 minutes
Weekly office hours — 30–60 minutes as needed
PBB course module — 60–90 minutes
Implementation in your actual business — ongoing
The beauty of the Clarity Collective is that the work you're doing inside the program IS the work of running your business. You're not adding to your plate. You're replacing the reactive, chaotic version of that time with intentional, strategic CEO time.
-
At the end of your 6-month Clarity Collective commitment you'll have a clear picture of where your business stands and where you want to go next. You'll have two options:
Continue in the Clarity Collective for another 6-month cycle at the current rate, deepening your mastery of the Profit Boosters and scaling what you've built.
Graduate to the Peace + Profit Society, our curated mastermind for operators earning $500K+ who are ready for direct texting access to Kelley, a small group mastermind experience, and an in-person site visit from Kelley to your business. This is where the Abundant CEO journey begins.
There's no pressure and no automatic renewal. We'll have a conversation about what's right for you before your commitment ends.
