We’ve been where you are and know what it’s like to feel defeated by something you once loved. CMS has used decades of experience to develop methods, build tools, and create a community to help you rediscover your spark for childcare.
The childcare industry is facing a crisis. The availability of quality childcare has declined significantly, putting strain on families and negatively impacting the dedicated providers at the heart of every childcare program.
Many childcare providers pour every ounce of their energy into their programs, often neglecting their own well-being. This leads to burnout, exhaustion, stress, and, ultimately, the decision to leave the field.
Running a childcare business is more than just caring for children. It’s managing a team, maintaining administrative excellence, navigating finances, and maneuvering ever-changing regulations.
Rising costs, competition, and limited resources have created an environment where many childcare businesses struggle to stay afloat.
Fewer individuals are entering the field due to perceived low wages, high stress, and a lack of professional development opportunities.
At the heart of CMS is Debra’s innovative CARE4Method, which focuses on the four critical components of a successful childcare program:
CMS goes beyond the improvement of business practices to address systemic issues contributing to provider burnout and program decline. Every tool available gives providers the tools they need to lead with confidence and balance.
Through actionable solutions and a supportive community, CMS is working to reverse the downward trend in childcare availability, where providers feel valued, supported, and equipped to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families.
Childcare Management Solutions (CMS) is rooted in a passion for supporting childcare providers and a vision to transform the childcare industry. At the heart of CMS is its founder, Debra Rinell, M.Ed., a dedicated educator, childcare provider, and advocate with over 40 years of experience in the field.
Debra’s journey in childcare began with a love for fostering growth and development in children.
After earning her Master’s in Education from Arizona State University, she began a career that would quickly grow beyond the classroom. She’s worn many hats— provider, leader, mentor, wife, mother, and grandmother—gaining firsthand experience of the joys and challenges of running a childcare program.
Through her work, Debra witnessed a troubling pattern: childcare providers, dedicated to serving others, often neglected their own well-being. This self-sacrifice led to burnout, exhaustion, and an increasing number of providers leaving the field altogether. The decline in available childcare programs, coupled with the struggles providers faced in balancing personal and professional demands, inspired Debra to take action.
In response to these challenges, Debra founded Childcare Management Solutions (CMS) to address the unique needs of childcare providers. CMS provides practical tools, strategies, and resources to help providers stop surviving and start thriving in their roles. Her goal was to empower providers to take better care of themselves and their businesses, leading to healthier, more sustainable childcare programs.
