Epowering Childcare Entrepreneurs: K&S Next Step Growth Partners

In the world of childcare, passionate individuals with a heart for nurturing young minds often face a significant barrier—the cost and complexity of becoming a licensed provider. At K&S Next Step Growth Partners, we believe that financial obstacles should never stand in the way of creating high-quality, enriching childcare environments. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to remove financial barriers and simplify the licensing process for aspiring home childcare providers.

Who We Are

K&S Next Step Growth Partners is dedicated to empowering individuals, particularly in underserved communities, to establish and grow successful childcare businesses. We recognize the critical role home-based childcare providers play in early childhood education and family support, and we are committed to making the licensing process seamless and stress-free.

How We Help

Our unique model covers all costs associated with obtaining a childcare license in the state of Tennessee. Rather than requiring out-of-pocket payments, our clients pay a structured fee to K&S, ensuring that they receive comprehensive support without financial strain. This approach allows childcare entrepreneurs to focus on what truly matters—building a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment for children.

Our Services Include:

Application Assistance: We guide providers step-by-step through the licensing process, ensuring all paperwork is completed accurately and efficiently.
Training & Certification: We provide access to required training, CPR certification, and continuing education to ensure compliance with state regulations.
Home Setup & Compliance: We help providers meet safety and regulatory standards, from securing necessary equipment to conducting home inspections.
Business Development Support: From marketing strategies to enrollment guidance, we equip providers with the tools needed to sustain and grow their childcare businesses.

Why This Matters

The demand for affordable, high-quality childcare is at an all-time high, especially in underserved communities where families struggle to find reliable care. By supporting new providers through the licensing process, K&S Next Step Growth Partners is helping to close the gap, ensuring that more children have access to safe, enriching early learning experiences.

We believe that when we invest in childcare providers, we invest in families, communities, and the future. Whether you're an aspiring childcare entrepreneur or know someone who dreams of opening their own daycare, we're here to help make it happen.
