The Founders Cohort

10 women. Direct guidance from Kettia. Free.

I'm opening The Childcare Collective's very first cohort to 10 women who are ready to take real steps toward starting a home daycare. This is a small, hands-on pilot program. I'm building it alongside you, which means you get my full attention and it costs you nothing.

New!

What You Get

A clear, step-by-step startup roadmap so you know exactly what to do and when to do it

• Direct access to Kettia for questions, feedback, and problem-solving as you move through the process

• Group sessions with women who are starting at the same time as you (you're building a network from day one)

• Licensing guidance specific to your state so you're not guessing about requirements

• Pricing and enrollment support so you launch with confidence, not confusion

• Accountability because having someone checking in on your progress makes you twice as likely to follow through

What I Expect From You

• You're genuinely considering starting a home daycare in the next 3–6 months

• You'll show up, do the work, and participate in group sessions

• You'll give honest feedback about the experience so I can make this better for future cohorts

This is for action takers. If you're in research mode and not ready to start, that's completely okay. The free starter guide and the weekly newsletter are here for you until you are.

Why Is This Free?

Because it's the first cohort. I'm testing the format, refining the content, and building this with real feedback from real women. Your participation helps me create something incredible for the hundreds of women who'll come after you. That's worth more than money to me right now.

This format will become a paid program. The women in this cohort are the only ones who will ever get it for free.

Spots are limited to 10. Applications are reviewed individually. I'm looking for women who are ready, not perfect.
