For In-Home Providers

Hello Childcare Provider,
Thank you for your hard work! We are reaching out to invite you to be part of the First Cohort of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Financial Resilience Program for in-home providers, sponsored by Nonprofit Montgomery. The Financial Resilience program is a partnership between 20 Degrees (a local consulting firm) and Nonprofit Montgomery. The program has been deployed around the region and is showing promising results in improving the budgeting process, cash flow management, general planning, and stress management for fellow ECE providers.

This program requires you to:

  • Participate in three training webinars that are scheduled for:
    • Wednesday, May 18 from 6-8pm
    • Wednesday, June 1 from 6-8pm
    • Wednesday, June 15 from 6-8pm
  • Participate in a 30 minute private coaching session with a member of the 20 Degrees team.

You will receive a $300 stipend for completing this program. Designed to respect that your time is the most valuable resource, it will deliver real value and hopefully support your existing quality and program efforts.

This program has been created for and shaped by feedback from ECE providers and includes scenario planning, financial modeling and other elements. By the end of the program, you will be able to plan for different scenarios across the next 12-18 months, learn how to boost enrollments, better manage budgets, taxes and cash flow, as well as use a new tool to help manage the pressures of your job and reduce burn out.

Please register for this program HERE. There are a limited number of slots available so this is open to just one person from your center. Upon registration, we will follow up with you a few days before the event with your meeting login information. We look forward to working with you!

MORE Quarterly Alumni Skill-Building Sessions: How to Keep Data Secure

2022-04-20T12:51:11-04:00April 23rd, 2022|Events, Nonprofit Resources, Training Opportunities|

Has your organization formalized an approach to keeping your data secure? And by “data,” we’re not just talking about survey or focus group data, we also mean data collected from registration forms, intake questionnaires, donor records, and staff records. You don’t need an IT department or any fancy software to establish internal protocols for respecting and securing your organization’s data.

Join Sharp Insight and fellow MORE alums for the final in this year’s How To series: How to Keep Data Secure. We will review the phases of the data lifecycle and some key action steps that might be feasible for your organization. Data security might not sound like a fun topic, but we think you’ll enjoy walking through a real-world case study on the data lifecycle and Sharp Insight’s top data security actions that your organization can put into place right now.

Whether your organization is actively working on your internal data security processes or you’re just thinking about getting started with increased data security, this workshop is for you!

When: Wednesday, June 6, noon-1pm
Where: On Zoom. Click here to register.
