My name is Daphene Booker Harris, Preschool Icon™ and Event Queen. I’m the owner and founder of a group of childcare centers situated in the heart of Memphis.

But what people might not know is that I grew my empire from an in-home daycare. I started with a couple of children and worked by myself - caring for the children, managing finances, advertising my services, I did everything by myself.

I know what it is to work at your dream. To put so much of yourself into it that you feel tied to its very success. Your personal growth is connected to your business's growth.

And every day I work with people who have done the same thing. They run successful multi-site businesses. They know what they’re doing. They’ve put the time in. They have a team that works together and understands their purpose. They are living their dream…

But many more struggle in silence…

And that drives me crazy.

I know they’re trying to make it all by themselves. They’ve got their first center and they understand exactly what it takes to make it successful. 

But they don’t know how to scale their business.

Taking the leap to move from successful center to successful EMPIRE.
