ECBS was on the ground last week at the Opportunity Exchange National Shared Services Conference ✈️
Want to know what makes US happy?! Everything we learned last week for starters! We are so grateful for the opportunity to connect, learn, and be part of national conversations around shared services and business supports for early childhood providers.
We’re bringing back new ideas, fresh energy, and an even stronger commitment to supporting child care businesses across Arizona 💼✨
👏 Huge shoutout to Karla Houghtalin for representing Southwest Human Development and ECBS and presenting on shared services and business coaching—sharing the impactful work happening right here in Arizona. Her sessions were a standout across the conference. The feedback was incredible, and she truly energized the room, reminding all of us why we do this work and pushing us to keep going even when it’s hard. ⭐ Did you attend one of Karla’s sessions? Comment on the reel with one word to describe Karla’s sessions!

👏 Huge shoutout to Karla Houghtalin for presenting not once, but twice at the 2026 Opportunity Exchange Shared Services Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Her sessions on shared services and business coaching are all about supporting strong, sustainable child care businesses—and we love seeing this work in the spotlight.
Way to represent ECBS and SWHD!💪✨

✨ Kicking off Small Business Week by celebrating child care entrepreneurs! ✨
Child care is more than care—it’s a business, a livelihood, and the backbone of strong communities. This week (and always), we’re proud to support the child care business owners making it happen.
👉 Comment below with your child care business name and city/town.
📣 And be sure to share this post with any child care small business owners you know!

💪✨ Building stronger child care businesses—together.
We are so proud of every child care provider who showed up for our Build It Strong sessions—whether you receive ongoing business coaching from ECBS or joined us simply because you’re committed to strengthening your business. Your willingness to learn, ask questions, and invest time into the business side of your work matters, and it shows.
These sessions focused on real‑life tools around HR, marketing, and operational efficiency, because we know running a child care program takes more than heart—it takes strong systems and support behind the scenes.
We are also excited to connect providers to Small Business Digital Ready, a free platform full of on‑demand business courses, coaching, tools, and resources—plus access to the $10,000 small business grant opportunity to help you reinvest in your program and keep moving forward.
Thank you for choosing to build it strong with us. Arizona’s child care landscape is better because of you. 💛

Today, ECBS joined regional leaders shaping the future of the West Valley workforce. Megan picked up Karla and Laura and all three attended the 2026 WESTMARC Foundation Workforce Infrastructure Alliance Lunch, a powerful convening sponsored by Credit Union West. The event focused on strengthening the foundational systems that support workforce participation and economic growth.
Conversations centered on two critical pillars: • Childcare & Early Childhood Education�• Attainable Housing
Both are essential to talent retention, workforce stability, and long‑term employer competitiveness. The panels highlighted cross‑sector collaboration, innovative pilots, and region‑wide strategies aimed at reducing barriers for working families and employers alike.
Grateful to be part of important conversations driving real solutions for our communities.

Today we’re celebrating Administrative Professionals Day by showing so much appreciation for Olivia Dunston and Juan Carranza.
Early Childhood Business Solutions truly would not be the strong, successful program it is without them. They are the voices on the other end of our ECBS support line—answering phone calls and emails, problem‑solving in real time, and making sure providers feel supported, heard, and taken care of every single day.
Their organization, follow‑through, behind‑the‑scenes magic, and constant dedication keep everything moving forward—often in ways that go unseen but are felt everywhere. We are so grateful for both of them and the heart they bring to this work.
Thank you for all that you do for ECBS and child care providers across Arizona! 💙 🩵
