Ashley Binns
Ashley Binns
I am the former owner and operator of a childcare center of 10 years called Ashley's Angels Childcare, Inc. in Bowling Green, KY. My doors opened up as a family childcare home to three children in August of 2005, and by 2007, I transitioned into a Licensed childcare facility. Over the ten years that I ran my childcare business, I learned what NOT TO DO, and I also learned WHAT TO DO to ensure success! And that was basically Automating EVERYTHING in my childcare business! AUTOMATION changed my business and my life! And I know it will do the same for you!
My goal is to reach as many childcare owners that I can, those who are starting out and those who have been in business for a long time. It's my passion, to help owners ensure that they are running childcare businesses that offer quality care to children and families, yet at the same time, I want owners to ensure that they are also taking care of themselves in the process of running their daycare business.

I am so excited to begin working with you in helping you create a childcare program that is successful and one you can be proud of! My goal for you is for you to not only enrich the lives of children and families but to enrich your own life.

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
Once you enroll in the course, you will have immediate access to begin modules 1-3! After that, the remaining modules of the will be released to you week by week, and you will also get an email letting you know when it's available. This is my way of holding students accountable, and this also allows you time to EXECUTE, which is the most important. But you can work on each course at your own pace and when it's convenient for you. All you have to do is log in, and the course is available to you day or night!
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
What kind of support comes with the course?
There are several support options that come along with the course. You will gain access to the course's private support group which is a private Facebook group community. This is where you can ask any questions you have, and either myself or someone in the group will be able to help you. Other support options are private 1:1 sessions with me. There is a consulting fee and you can use this option as needed.
Are there any refunds if I decide I no longer want to open my daycare business after enrolling in the course?
Each course comes with a money back guaranteed within the first 30 days of purchase. However, refunds are taken very seriously, and are only issued if the course did not produce RESULTS. You must prove that the course didn’t produce results, by showing documentation of your work of execution.

Examples of documentation are (but not limited to): Completed pdfs of the course, pictures, documentation of what you did and the results that you received, etc… Keep in mind the expense of a course can be used as a tax write off. Just be sure to keep the email as proof of purchase for your documentation. Refunds requests can be sent to [email protected]
Will I receive any state approved training hours or certificates for the course?
No. This course is not accredited or certified under any state. The best way to understand this, is the equivalent as you getting a coach to help you open up your business. In this case, I am your coach, but we are doing this online.
I am not in the United States? Will this course work for me in my country?
Absolutely! All the things needed to start a daycare business are universal. The only thing that may be different is how your daycare business becomes licensed. If for some reason, you are needing extra support with this, feel free to use the support options located in the course curriculum to contact me, and I am more than happy to assist you.

As a former owner, Operator and director of a Childcare center of ten years, I made several mistakes and failures that costs me alot of time and money to fix, all because I didn't really have someone to hold my hand and show me how to run a successful childcare business. In this course, I will be holding your hand showing you the step by step process of what it takes to start a successful childcare business. Whether you are starting one in your home, which is how I got started, or starting a facility, which I later transitioned into, this course has everything you need, to ensure you get it done right!
