Debbie brings over four decades of hands-on experience in early childhood education—as an educator, provider, and advocate who truly understands the realities of running a childcare business. Throughout her journey, she saw how easily passionate leaders can become overwhelmed by daily demands, often losing sight of the vision that inspired them to begin.
Driven to change that, she founded Childcare Management Solutions (CMS) and developed the CARE4Method—a structured, proven approach designed to help childcare providers lead with clarity, build stronger teams, and create lasting impact.
More than just a system, CMS is a community—one built to support, connect, and empower childcare leaders with the tools, guidance, and confidence they need to grow and thrive together. As CEO, Debbie leads with heart, innovation, and a deep commitment to transforming the future of childcare.

Hi, I’m Megan! With 28 years in early childhood education, I’m passionate about nature-based, child-led, and play-based learning. I believe children thrive when trusted as capable, curious thinkers and when educators feel confident to follow that curiosity.
My coaching focuses on reflection, collaboration, and practical strategies. I guide educators to observe with intention, make thoughtful decisions, and align their practices with their values—creating environments where both children and teachers can thrive.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when we slow down, stay curious, and lead with purpose, meaningful learning naturally unfolds.
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.
