About Me

Built from the Inside Out

I'm Katrina, founder of Your First Choice Consulting and operator of First Choice Licensed Daycare LLC in Oakland, CA — a program I've run with heart and excellence for over 25 years.

I've lived every stage of this journey: the paperwork, the inspections, the policies, the parent relationships, and the business systems that keep it all running. That lived experience is what I bring to every client I serve.

Whether you're just beginning to explore licensure or you're an established provider ready to level up your operations, I'm here as your partner — not just a consultant — for the full journey.

Real experience — I've operated a licensed family daycare for 25+ years

Partner mentality — I'm invested in your success, not just your next step

Full-journey commitment — pre-launch through long-term sustainability
