  • 285. She Tripled Her Income Without Burning Out — Here's How
    May 5 2026

    What does it actually look like to triple your income, have your most profitable year ever, and still be home for dinner?

    In this member spotlight, Chanie sits down with Aliyah Johnson Roberts — owner of two early childhood education centers in Philadelphia — to talk about the real story behind her growth. A few years ago, Aliyah was sitting in her office until six o'clock every evening, not because anyone needed her there, but because she had convinced herself she had to be.

    Aliyah shares how she shifted from overfunctioning school owner to visionary CEO, and what that made possible, both inside her centers and at home.

    If you're an early childhood education owner who knows you're meant for more but can't quite see how to get there, this episode is for you.

  • 284. School Leaders: Pressure Test Your Call Out System
    May 4 2026

    If a teacher called out tomorrow, do you know what it's actually costing your school? Not just money, your time, too.

    In this bonus episode, Chanie breaks down why most call out policies collapse the moment pressure walks in the door, what it means to pressure test your school's infrastructure, and how to build a call out standard that holds even when you're short-staffed, short on sleep, and short on patience.

    This one started as a Facebook Live, and the response was loud enough that it needed to be on the podcast.

  • 283. Why Your School Is Leaving $100K on the Table (And How to Fix It)
    Apr 27 2026

    Your school isn't losing money because of bad teachers or wrong pricing. It's losing it in the patterns you've started to normalize.

    Chanie Wilschanski breaks down four profit blind spots that quietly drain revenue from childcare centers and early childhood education schools — from the false comfort of high occupancy rates to the $100,000 follow-up mistake one school owner didn't see coming.
