Sindye Alexander has over 25 years of experience in the child care field. She owned and directed both home and commercial child care centers. While working with several business coaches, Sindye experienced tremendous growth and success, and found it necessary to move to a larger building. She, with the help of her amazing team, was able to grow her small child care center of 32 children to 120 children, just three months after relocating.
Experiencing such massive results during her time working with a business coach caused Sindye to fall in love with marketing. She sold her center in 2016 and began doing marketing work full-time for one of her coaches. She served as Director of marketing and a child care training coach with that company for six years. She currently provides digital and content marketing services for private clients with businesses related to the child care industry.
Sindye has a particular passion for inspiring child care leaders to create a positive workplace culture which will impact the industry by reducing staff turnover rates and by contributing to increased program quality. Her book: Relationship Roadmap: Real-World Strategies for Building a Positive, Collaborative Culture in Your Preschool is dedicated to providing owners and directors actionable tips and tactics for doing just that.
Sindye's education and experience are in early childhood education, staff management, digital marketing, graphic design, and content creation. Sindye resides in northern Michigan with her husband, Chad. They have four grown children and three grandchildren. Sindye values time with her family and enjoys traveling - especially cruising! She loves helping other child care business owners and directors grow and succeed.
