"If this is in your heart to do, it can be done. " Never have truer words been said.

So much excited to see the name Jason your name and mine as well. 😍

It's 1:46am and God just gave me the idea to open my own school. I'm currently a junior in college and still don't know how I will get this done but I feel the urgency to do this for our youth! I just wrote down the vision and chose to trust God as I move forward with the things he wants me to do. Thank you so much for your video.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

On fast to this vision and know that every step is preparing you to fulfill it!!

[@jasonJj_official]

Me and my wife wanted to start a school with no bucks in hands but only because of the vision God gave to us, today we are nothing in the plans that what and how God is going to do for our school. But one day we will be witness to many as God will lift us from the scratch to glorious thing like how you have been with many churches relatively. We got hope out of your testimony. Glory to God Regards, Jason & Sheela

I honestly just always figured it was extreamly hard to start one, so this is informative. I never knew about the zoning thing. The networking ahead of time makes a lot of sense especially of it can help lower costs. Persistence pays off.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Yes, a lot of people do including myself until it happened for me. It’s still not the easiest ever, but it’s def doable.

[@teachermade766]

I'm going to start a Preschool for children with disabilities and the focus will be on STEM 😊

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

That is awesome!!! It’s so needed. Give them a strong head start. Thanks for connecting. I love meeting other sped teachers. I checked out your channel and subscribed. When I get a few minutes I will check out your website. 👋🏽

I find it amazing that you stared your own school. There are so many steps to reaching this goal. I never even thought about the fact that you would need to find a building. 😲 we apply for various grant in my job. Never for building usually large sums of money to run food security programs across Vermont.

[@HEOL1777]

I just started watching Cindy's videos and I promise you she hit home with me! And I needed this information and moving forward with my vision to open a school.. Thank you Jesus for Cindy because no one will ever share this information.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@yolandaaalim3485]

Thank you so very much for sharing Cindy. I too am a special education teacher, and have a desire to do more with this population. They can learn, and the public setting is not lending itself to addressing each student’s individual needs. My own child has had challenges with the public setting and I made a conscious choice to remove her. It is for these reasons, I am strongly considering opening a school tailored for kid’s with learning gaps. I would love more information about being a private and non profit institution. Congratulations on your bundle of joy!!! :)

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Thank you and good for you!! Some in our population just need more than they are getting and public schools are not cutting it. I love to see/hear of teachers wanting to do their own thing. I did a few more videos if they don’t answer your questions please let me know some specifics.

[@allanahceasar8265]

You were put in my life for such a time as this. I woke up this morning pumped about offering a solution to education versus admiring the problem and now this! Thank you, I pray your endeavors prosper. Where is the following video?

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Awww...love your prospective- offering a solution instead of admiring the problem. It’s coming soon. I started to burn out a little. I was pregnant and starting the year got to be a lot. I had the baby two weeks ago so it’s time for me to finish this up. You have motivated me!!! Thanks and keeping being a solution.

[@allanahceasar2499]

@@CindyTheLDCoach Rest well! You deserve it Mom! Congratulations! Take your time and thank you for sharing.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much!!!!

[@NoireChismeENT]

Wow...Nice information...When you think the no is powerful, that yes will give you life...I'm glad you found your building.

[@livefullerwithlovefuller8679]

This is great info. Even though I don't have plans to open a school, some of these tips are good ideas for other industries as well!

[@SchoolHouseRap]

This is helpful information! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the videos in the series!

[@mrhymer95]

Cindy, I appreciate and thank you for sharing this information. I am a Special Education Teacher as well, and I always wanted to open a real dynamic preschool (not a day care) for years. I live in NYC where real estate is expensive as you know. I am aware that grant money is out there, not sure how to tap into finding a legit one or even writing a grant proposal, please definitely follow up in another video soon please. Also do have a checklist of how to negotiate rental properties? Please let me know, and have a blessed day!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Hi! You are so welcome. I don’t have a step by step. But I can look into creating one.

[@SheedaVision]

I’m in a similar situation!

[@Buzy-Life]

Same here... I want to open a school for 3-8 years, concentrating on basic math and reading skills.

[@brandonmitchell6655]

Great Teaching! Road blocks may make you pause, but they won't stop the cause.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

You are so right!

[@truartist5379]

I’m so anxious but stepping out and doing the damn thing! Wish me luck

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

🤞🏽 wishing you all the best. Keep me posted and if you are on FB join our group, Teachers Interested in Starting a School and if can be moral support we will.

[@julieneidhardt3710]

I love your enthusiasm! This was so helpful for ideas on how to get a building! I am looking forward to hearing about the financials! PS your hair is precious.

[@toniwilliamsluxury]

First of all. You are absolutely glowing and your hair is beautiful!!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

☺️ Thank you!!!!

[@SheedaVision]

I am very interested in hearing how to fund a school. Can’t wait to see the new video. It’s been a dream of mine for quite some time now

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Hi! Hoping to film it soon. Hold onto the dream. It can happen.

[@SheedaVision]

Cindy Lumpkin thank you so much for your prompt response! I believe God will lead me on the path to make this dream a reality 🙌🏽 I look forward to the video ❤️ I would also love to see a video tour of your school if/when you have time (realistically post-corona)

[@AntariusB]

One of the greatest teachers....

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

☺️ Thank you for your support. Working with parents like you make everything worth it.

[@tonyawallace6279]

Big inspiration!

Good info. Thanks for sharing! New subscriber here.

[@Mememe.03]

I’m still a just a kid(15) but when I’m older I wanna open a school with personal learning, and they can also learn about a religion of there choice. I think it could give a lot of kids a family a good choice!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

I love to hear young people thinking so far ahead. Sounds like an awesome school you are planning.

[@kimwilliams7596]

[@Honeybunches1913]

I know how you feel about the churches. Finding a building has been my biggest obstacle. However, I know that God has called me and will supernaturally guide me through this process. I was disappointed in the churches who said, "No" but I look at it now as that wasn't the place where God wanted me to go.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Don’t give up! Something will come through. I have a FB group called Teachers interested in starting a school. Come join us! We need community!

[@johnsenior7846]

Hello was just talking about our school to a co worker and open up my you tube and there you where😂😂😂. My wife and started a homeschool co-op. We went through a little challenge with churches as well. However we did find two churches that offered us space at really really low terms. We settled on our home church in the end at no cost. Our problem is getting students. We have two (our kids). How do you go about getting children. Thanks

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

This is awesome! Sometimes finding people can be hard. However I use platforms like Facebook, word of mouth and homeschool events might help. They are out there.

[@samonesmith2416]

Cindy how do u make money fron having your own school?

[@ET-ri4dt]

Hi Cindy can you do a last video on ideas for finances? Everyone wants to know about how you sustain yourself & teachers.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Hi! Yes, I will. I haven’t forgot. I will knock it out before Christmas.

[@ET-ri4dt]

Thank you!

[@ET-ri4dt]

And congrats on the baby.

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Hi! That video should be ready tomorrow around 7pm est

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

🤦🏽‍♀️ I thought I would be able to have the video completed by tonight. I will have to upload tomorrow. Thanks for your patients. I still balancing new baby, a 3 and 10 year old and getting in front of the camera.

[@MomlifeVermont]

Did you change your hair recently? Love it!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Awww thank you!! Yes, it’s different. I am still trying to become comfortable with my natural hair. It’s a work in progress.

[@uleliachildsthescintllator1310]

I have completely enjoyed your videos. For years I have wanted to start my own school. Before I was ever certified, etc. this has been my desire. I have always avoided it because I have always wondered about the money and obtaining students. Asking myself..will parents in my area pay for their kids to go to school. My husband is a pastor and we have a church property that has a building where i once operated a childcare center (mostly afterschool) kids. Anyway, I closed the daycare and got my certification to teach and am not an Assistant Principal with KIPP Schools here in Houston Texas. I feel that I am in a season of learning, growing, and developing, but 2021 is the year that I start putting into motion "the opening of my own school" My son will be going to 6th grade next year and I feel that he needs something more private as he struggles with testing, etc. Finding your videos has given me hope. I know that I can go through the process as it was a process when I opened the daycare. The money part is a huge concern for me, but I will not allow that to stop me this time. Thank you so much for these videos. As I begin getting my building ready, checking on getting accredited and planning my structure, etc....It would be great to know what other grants are out there for the school as far as paying staff, etc. And how do we help parents who may want their kids to go to private schools, but can't afford it. I think that is a huge dilemma in the community I'm in. Thank you so much, Cindy!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

You are so welcome! Hope to share more in 2021. Thank you so much for watching.

[@codeedahl4136]

I don't know If I will want to open a school of my own, but maybe a Dance Studio. I think these things may help me with that too. I mean I have a four years of school left, and then a few years of college, but I think teaching dance would be awesome, and even more Great if I owned the building I was teaching in. Thanks for sharing all your secrets. Codee

[@safehavenhomeschooling3963]

Why do you feel it's so important to be accredited?

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

It’s not for everyone. I work with middle and lower class families. In order to qualify for SB10, a voucher like program, I must be accredited. My parents wouldn’t be able to afford my tuition without those funds. I know several leaders who are not accredited. I also know many more who want to be.

[@daniellinachi3733]

Not well summarised and presented. Please work on that. I j

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Lol! They always say that the internet has no chill. You are a great example. If you are truly interested I will be updating the article that I wrote on how to start a school and in it I will give the update in this portion. This time it will cost you, but something tells me you are the type of person who look for free info to complain about but will not invest in your own dream. No problem! I am here for all the people.❤️
