Learning Garden is a Top-Rated 4,800 sq. ft. preschool in Gilbert AZ. The school is private, Christian and advanced-curriculum driven. As owner I oversee a staff of 20 to 25 employees including teachers, administrators and a leadership team. I created an efficient, sustainable organization improving day-to-day operations, budget performance, business growth, team development, P&L, and an excellent customer experience. I developed marketing strategies to augment existing revenue by ensuring a unified message is being delivered across all sales and marketing touchpoints. Learning Garden Preschool is now self-sufficient. Our primary mission is to constantly evolve and enhance the teacher, child and parent experience. I created an environment that embraces change and progression while remaining true to our quality and love of early childhood development. In addition to quality I improved financial reporting and procedures to keep costs, overhead, and payroll at optimal operational levels allowing the business to over-achieve our goals. This includes negotiating with vendors and service provider contracts. I created automation strategies to ensure the business maintains adequate caches of supplies and inventory. I removed paper homework and paper handouts used for the students and the parents/customers. I implemented a smartphone application to provide a better way for teachers to communicate with parents. The smartphone application allows parents to know exactly the activities their child performs each day. I gave parents peace of mind by upgrading our software to include a state of the art fingerprint check in system. Worked directly with teachers and staff across the enterprise to ensure a seamless delivery of services while developing and executing coaching exercises. Learning Garden has set the local standard in all operational processes, protocols, and customer service expectations.
