There is something special about caring for your children. There is something even more special about caring for other people’s children. But what about caring for your business? Managing the numbers in your business shouldn’t be just about student to teacher ratios, the minutes until nap time or the temperature of a sick toddler. Managing the numbers should help you plan for childcare equipment, curriculum costs, space, and staff. Invest in the future of the children in your care by investing in the future of your business and let EWH Small Business Accounting help you get a solid grasp on your finances.
Accounting, Bookkeeping & Payroll Services for Childcare Facilities
Caring for Your Numbers Like You Care for Kids
Whether you care for one child in your home, or have multiple daycare facility locations across Wisconsin, there are unique financial challenges in the world of childcare:
- Qualifying for state funding and correctly reporting to them in return
- Maximizing available cash for payroll and monitoring your payroll to ease cash flow constraints
- Obtaining financing for facility improvements and additional locations
And, of course, balancing overall company profitability with the best possible childcare your center can offer.
“As a small business, there are definitely times when service providers may make you feel as if the amount of business you provide to them directly correlates with the level of service provided to you. In that regard, EWH has made our company feel as if we are truly a Fortune 500 company.”
“We have been a client for many years, and commend EWH for their level of commitment and efficiency that they consistently display. It gives us peace of mind knowing that anytime we are in need, we can count on EWH to exceed our expectations.”

Education Drives Opportunity in Life
From a franchise childcare facility near a busy corporate park in Waukesha, to the flexibility of an in-home business in LaCrosse, or the satisfaction that comes from offering unique or alternative child care services in Madison, there are many models in the industry. Each can be profitable, successful, and fulfilling businesses, but in childcare, education is key.
Children who are exposed to early learning opportunities, have more opportunities to succeed – the same applies to business owners. Our education platform and easy to comprehend workshops through – EWH University – are great ways to gain a step up, leaving you prepared, confident, and on track for a successful future.

Event Details
It can be challenging to understand why our friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers, or others make certain decisions. Particularly when those decisions seem flawed or perhaps even self-defeating, now imagine your future is very much tied together. How we make decisions and what we value in making those decisions can bring us closer together, create challenges, and sometimes even risk pulling us apart.
In the ever-changing times we live in, we have to account for a myriad of different demands: technology, lifestyle, labor, and ever-evolving social norms. The key to capitalizing on these changes is to understand the Motivators Model and why people do what they do. There are 6 reasons people do what they do; understanding and appreciating these differences is key to integrating the Motivator Model for high performing teams. This will allow you to anticipate challenges with team members in advance, help better understand where to start with relationship building, and resolve challenges that have shown up.
- Understanding your own and others’ motivator perspectives
- Recognizing the impact your motivators have on your decision making
- Identifying the motivators/values and perspectives of others
- Understanding the natural challenges between these Motivators
- Bridging the Difference when challenges occur
- Appreciating each other’s differences
- Understanding the value & results each Motivator bring to the team
