TESTIMONIALS
Shakirah
Full Bloom Business Coaching has been my guide from the very beginning of my childcare business, when I had zero children and nothing in place. I didn’t have a business account, a budget plan, a bookkeeping system, or even a strategy for setting childcare prices. They helped me with everything.
Now, I know how to prepare a budget plan, I have a bookkeeping system set up, and I understand how to research local childcare tuition rates so I’m no longer undercharging. They also guided me through the process of applying for the CCRF Grant and helped with submitting the audit. They provided valuable information on creating handbooks and policies as well.
Marketing was another area I struggled with—especially building a website—but they walked me through every step, making it manageable.
Their passion for what they do really shines through; it’s clear they care deeply and put love into their work. If you’re looking for someone dedicated and knowledgeable to help your childcare business succeed, you couldn’t ask for a better partner.

I cannot recommend Full Bloom Business Coaching highly enough. They have been an invaluable asset to my childcare business, providing exceptional coaching across several crucial areas.
Their expertise in website development has been a game-changer. With their guidance, our website transformed into a professional and user-friendly platform that effectively showcases our services and attracts potential clients.
Their assistance with budgeting has been instrumental in maintaining the financial health of our business. Their insights and strategies helped us manage finances more effectively, enabling informed decisions and efficient resource allocation.
Additionally, their referrals for tax services have been incredibly helpful. Navigating taxes can be complex and daunting, but thanks to their recommendations, we have approached this area with confidence—ensuring compliance while maximizing tax benefits.
Overall, Full Bloom Business Coaching is not just a service provider but a true partner in the success of our childcare business. Their expertise, dedication, and personalized approach truly stand out.

I have been a licensed in-home provider for about 12 years. Most of my experience has been running an in-home program on an Army installation. 2021 was the first time I had done an in-home program through the state. As a military wife who is so used to someone else taking control of the paperwork and the structure of my finances, I felt so lost here in Texas as a childcare provider. Misti Scales. gave me the confidence to feel like a successful small businesswoman. I felt empowered by her knowledge, ideas, and the structure she laid out for me to run a successful business. Misti was the saving grace to my business, I felt confident in my budgeting, building a savings plan, and learning how to run reports and cash flows. She helped me attract clientele in ways I never thought how to advertise and that led to helping me attract employees and how to keep them hooked into my program. Her knowledge of finance and previous experience as a Daycare owner herself is truly the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I am so thankful for her and all she has done to help me grow and strengthen my business.

From the very beginning, Full Bloom Business Coaching has gone above and beyond in supporting me through the Child Care Relief Fund program. When I first enrolled in their coaching program, I had no idea how much expertise and guidance I would receive.
They helped me set up a financial tracking system using Excel, which was essential in helping me regain stability during difficult times. I felt truly heard—able to share my thoughts, concerns, and challenges as a small business owner, knowing I had someone who understood.
Full Bloom introduced me to time-saving tools like TECPDS and explained complicated topics like the time-space formula in a way that was easy to understand. They even created a custom tool to help me track how I was using my time—and where it could be used more wisely.
They made sure I was prepared for the next round of the Child Care Relief Fund, detailing which expenses were eligible and what documentation I needed. Their proactive support kept me one step ahead.
I also received valuable advice on improving my staffing model, including the benefits of converting a 1099 worker to a W-2 employee, which strengthened my business operations.
One of the things I appreciated most was the accountability. They helped me develop action plans and checked in to ensure I stayed on track. The timing of this support couldn’t have been more perfect. It truly felt like an answered prayer.
Thanks to their deep knowledge and unwavering support, I now feel more confident and better prepared for success. I could go on with praise—but I’ll simply say: if you’re fortunate enough to work with Full Bloom, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.
