13 Years. Multiple Trials. 1 Resilient Preschool Owner! - with Jaime Roduner May 22, 2025

Show notes

Feeling like life keeps knocking you down—just when you’re trying to build your preschool dream?

If so, you should listen to today’s Preschool All Stars story!

Jaime Roduner was a stay-at-home mom with a teaching degree, unsure of how to earn income while still being present for her family. She bought Preschool in a Box in 2012 and taught her son and nephew that first year. But after a few years, she paused to pursue full-time teaching—and then her world was turned upside down with a cancer diagnosis.

She couldn’t speak, let alone teach—but Jaime never gave up. Years later, she picked herself up again, joined local mom groups, and relaunched her preschool. She now teaches 10 kids and has her sights set on growing into her own space—because she finally believes in her future again.

Want to know how she did it? Listen in to learn:

The powerful mindset shift that helped her rebuild from nothing—even after losing her voice
How she filled 10 preschool spots for under $100 using this one strategy in local mom groups
Why 13 years of ups and downs finally led to her strongest year yet—and how you can do the same

Elem. Ed. Degree + Preschool Business = Freedom - with Mollie Hermelbracht May 15, 2025

Show notes

Want to teach, but dread putting your own kids in school—or missing those precious early years with them?

If so, then listen in to today’s podcast episode!

Mollie Hermelbracht was a homeschooling mom of 3, finishing her education degree—but with no real desire to enter the traditional school system. She wanted to teach, yes—but not at the expense of raising her own children. After a night out with her church friends, she said out loud, “I just wish I could open my own school.” Three days later, Joy’s ad popped up. The rest? Destiny.

Now she’s blazing through her 30-day challenge, building a preschool with her husband by her side, and laying the foundation for a future school where their kids can one day run themselves!

Want to know how she did it? Listen in to learn:

The moment she knew God was telling her to start a preschool
Why she signed up—before even finishing the book
The 5-year vision she’s creating now (so her kids won’t need college later!)

Make $50/hr. with Your Car to Start a Preschool - with Dee Harris May 09, 2025

Show notes

Feeling stuck trying to launch your preschool—but worried your bank account says “nope”?
If so, then listen in to today’s podcast episode!

Dee Harris is a homeschooling mom of 5 who wanted her time back after years in daycare and childcare centers. But with a fixed household income, launching her preschool felt out of reach.

She found a way to turn her weekends only into $200–$400 income using Spark (a delivery app for Walmart and other retailers). That money covered her Preschool All Stars membership, Preschool in a Box, and the HUB—without touching her family budget.

Want to know how she did it? Listen in to learn:

How to deliver without taking time away from your family
The simple mindset shift that turned “I can’t afford it” into “I’ve got this!”
The little-known trick to get $100 into your account just for signing up
