INVESTMENT
For licensed childcare centers, as standalone seminars, $240.00 a presentation hour. May be incentive pricing for half and full days. Travel expenses are in addition. Costs may be split by more than one center.
Seminars as part of consulting, including pre- and post- testing (highly recommended) may have a different price structure. Corporations normally have this other, value-based investment structure.
Currently, we have one form, one give-away, and one email list. For those running licensed childcare centers and schools — and likely church affiliated. Feel free to contact me directly at info@NOSPAMorgstrat.net (taking out the NOSPAM) for your staff training needs. Thanks.
