Organization. Efficiency. Confidence. Growth.
Meet the founder
Hey, I'm Megan!
For nearly 20 years, I’ve worked in early childhood education—as a teacher, program director, consultant, and mentor. No matter the role, one thing always stood out: I had a knack for organization. I became the “systems person,” the one colleagues turned to when things felt messy, overwhelming, or inefficient. And honestly? I loved it.
The Problem I Saw
Time and again, I saw brilliant directors and passionate preschool owners spending more energy on paperwork, juggling clunky software, and reinventing the wheel than on leading their programs.
The tools that existed for ECE? They were either too expensive, too generic, or still left directors with gaps. Instead of simplifying, they often added more stress. And for programs trying to scale, nothing truly fit.
10+
hours a week lost to admin
Directors spend on average more than 10 hours a week juggling paperwork, spreadsheets, and scattered tools instead of focusing on leadership and growth.
$300-$600+
per month for incomplete platforms
Most ECE-specific platforms come with steep monthly costs, yet still don’t cover all the essential needs of running a preschool program.
70%
of daily tasks repeated manually
Enrollment, attendance, communication, and reporting often get redone across multiple systems—creating extra work and higher chances for mistakes.

Directors report burnout
The constant pressure of managing disorganized systems contributes to stress, fatigue, and turnover among preschool leaders.
Why Level Up ECE was Created
I wanted a custom solution—one that was tangible, scalable, collaborative, and could house all parts of a preschool program in one place. I needed something organized yet flexible, something that worked for real directors, not just in theory.
When I couldn’t find it, I created it.
That’s how Level Up ECE was born: out of a desire to give leaders systems that actually fit their programs—without the overwhelm or the sky-high price tag.
Current platforms weren't enough
Most ECE tools were either too generic, missing key features, or far too expensive for what they actually offered. Nothing truly met the real needs of preschool leaders.
I needed a complete, scalable solution
I wanted a system that could organize every part of a program in one place—something tangible, collaborative, and able to grow as the program grew.
I built what I couldn't find
Since no platform delivered on all those needs, I created Level Up ECE: a custom solution designed specifically for preschool directors and owners to save time, reduce overwhelm, and lead with confidence.
What We Offer
At the heart of Level Up ECE is the Navigator Program—a complete system built inside Notion that organizes every aspect of your program. From enrollment and staff management to finances, parent communication, and daily operations, it brings everything together in one easy-to-use hub.
But Navigator isn’t just about tools. It’s about freeing you up to focus on the growth and development of your program and children in your care.
Empower Your Leadership
Learn to run your program efficiently with systems that reduce stress and decision fatigue, freeing you to focus on growth and vision.
Streamline Your Systems
From daily operations to long-term planning, our systems integrate everything in one place—organized, accessible, and designed for ECE.
Strengthen Program Communication
Clear systems mean smoother processes, easier onboarding, and stronger connections with families and staff.
The Vision
I believe every ECE program deserves to run smoothly. Directors shouldn’t have to sacrifice evenings, weekends, or peace of mind just to keep the admin side afloat.
My vision is simple: to empower preschool leaders with systems that bring clarity, ease, and confidence—so you can grow a thriving program without burning out in the process.
