Contact me for help to start a school. I will help you start a micro-school.  Maybe you need just a conversation for encouragement. Maybe you need a short course. Most want a map and some hand holding for a year, along with some sample documents for parent and employee policies. Also see www.teachachildchangeanation.org  for more information about a micro-school and for a course in how to start a licensed childcare facility -- yes, in any state. The first lessons help you discover if your building is sufficient and tell you how to sell this to your church congregation, if that is necessary. If your building is not sufficient and you want to cancel the course, you can. There are ways to have smaller schools in your own home. Much less restrictions for elementary school. If you are a graduate from homeschooling your children or grandchildren, you may be the ideal person to start a micro-school or pod. If you have taught in the government system and are a certified teacher, please do not sally forth, thinking  you can start a school. You have been trained in foolishness, in invidious expectations, and do not necessarily have any expertise in business or management. Please spend at least 3 years in getting a better education about children and civics and education. Sharon Sarles info@orgstrat.net  also see my consulting site: www.orgstrat.net
