KRIS MURRAY Founder of The Child Care Success Company Kris Murray is the President and Founder of The Child Care Success Company and is America’s leading child care business expert. Her mission is to help child care owners and directors become more successful and profitable through proven cutting-edge marketing techniques and a unique approach to running a child care business. Kris founded CCSC in 2008 when the economy was starting to tank and the enrolment of her children’s preschool was down significantly. They were about half full, desperate, and in need of answers. Taking her marketing knowledge and combining it with her “mom hat” she was able to create a system for my very first client (TLC Academy in Hudson, Ohio) that worked to grow their enrolment by about 55 children in 11 months. Together, they doubled their enrolment by putting proven but little-known marketing strategies into place. Today, they remain nearly full and have a waiting list for some rooms. Kris will be coming all the way from Colorado, USA to open the conference with the first keynote: "The Power of a Positive Mindset". On Saturday she will be presenting a workshop on "New Staff Attraction & Retention Strategies for the Post-Covid Economy" which we know will be powerful and practical. June 2023 { 20 }
