Operations systems for founder-led microschools

Run your microschool from one calm system, not from your head.

I build a custom operations system for founders of 5–40-student microschools: an operations handbook, plus custom tools — trackers, calendars, checklists, dashboards, and a family/parent portal. You spend less time on admin and more with kids and families.

Taking on a few pilot schools.

The problem

You started a school, not an admin department.

Most microschool founders run everything themselves, and most of it lives in their head. A tour request sits in WhatsApp. A new guide asks how pickup works, how you talk to families, what to do when something goes wrong — and the answer is “ask me.” Ramp-up is slow, people do the same task differently, and you stay in the middle of every question.

It works until it doesn’t: when you’re sick, when you hire, when you grow from 12 students to 25.

Onboarding lives in your head.

A new helper has to ask you every question, ramp-up is slow, and the school feels inconsistent when you’re not there.

Scattered across apps.

WhatsApp, email, Google Sheets, sticky notes, each with part of the picture.

Admin eats your evenings.

Hours that should go to kids, families and your own rest.

What you get

A handbook and custom tools, built around how your school actually runs.

Not a generic template. Two parts, built around how your school already runs, that you and your team can use from day one. You own both.

1

An operations handbook

Your processes, written down: role SOPs, team onboarding and training, daily routines (opening, closing, pickup, field trips, incidents), and enrollment from first inquiry to an enrolled family. A new guide can learn the school without asking you everything.

2

Custom tools built for your school

Trackers, calendars, checklists, dashboards, a family/parent portal, and recurring admin tasks.

How it works

How a pilot works

Working idea, not final.

  1. 1

    A 2-hour working call

    We walk through how your school runs and what a new helper needs to know. You don’t have to write anything.

  2. 2

    I build v1

    I turn that into your handbook and custom tools.

  3. 3

    A video walkthrough

    I send a video of what I built and how to use it.

  4. 4

    You pay, then you get access

    After the walkthrough, you pay, and then I give you access.

Later sessions are paid up front by card, once trust is in place.

If it feels like a fit, I may ask about a case study or a testimonial. That’s optional.

Limited spots.

About

Hi, I’m Bruno.

I’ve spent [X years] building operations systems for small businesses in the US, through [consultancy name / “a US consultancy”], for [types of businesses, e.g. clinics, agencies, service companies]. I’ve seen what happens when a founder’s knowledge finally lives somewhere other than their head: things get calmer.

Now I focus on microschools, because founders there carry more than almost anyone, and they deserve tools that feel as thoughtful as the schools they’re building.

[Optional: one personal line, e.g. where Bruno is based or why microschools matter to him.]

FAQ

Questions founders ask.

Do I need to know the tools you use?

No. I build everything and walk you and your team through it. If you can use a Google Doc, you can use your system. I usually build in Notion, and I’ll use another tool if that’s a better fit.

How is this different from an all-in-one school platform?

Platforms ask you to fit their way of working. I build around how your school already runs, in a tool you own and can change. Some schools use both: a platform for specific tasks, and a custom system as the single place everything is written down.

How long does it take?

I’ll confirm timing when we start. We begin with the 2-hour working call.

What does it cost?

Every school is different, so pricing depends on scope. We’ll talk numbers if it’s a fit. There are no prices on the site yet.

What happens after I pay?

I give you access once you’ve paid. The system is yours. You own it and can change it anytime. [Optional: ongoing support available if you want it.]

Spend less time on admin, more time on kids and families.

We can talk about your school and whether this is a fit. If we go ahead, we start with the 2-hour working call.
