Perfect Start Consulting

About Tessie
The Coordinator of Your Chaos
I’m Tessie Ragan — early childhood educator, speaker, coach, and the voice behind Chaos Coordinators and Perfect Start Consulting.
With years of experience running a family child care program across three states (and two countries), I know the realities of building a business while shaping young minds — and I know how lonely and overwhelming it can feel.
That’s where I come in.
I help family child care providers and early educators design sustainable systems, rediscover their purpose, and build programs that reflect their vision, not just the latest trend.
Whether you’re just starting out or rebooting after burnout, I’ve got the tools, humor, and real-world experience to help you build something that works — for you.
