About Vasco Consulting
Built from experience. Driven by results.
Not every consultant has actually run a business. I have — for 20 years. That changes everything about how I work with you.
Family Roots
Generations of business experience.
From our family’s first ventures to the preschools we lead today, we understand what it takes to build a business with care. We bring that experience to help you support your team, strengthen your operations, and create a place families love.
The Story
We've been where you are.
Business has always been part of my family's story. From my father's ventures in Guyana to the preschool my mother opened in Homestead, Florida, I grew up watching what it takes to build something lasting — and how much it matters to the community around it.
Over the years, I've led two preschool locations — hiring and training staff, managing daily operations, and building strong relationships with the families we served. I've also run businesses across other industries, navigating everything from broken processes to difficult customer situations. I understand what it feels like to be responsible for keeping everything moving.
Being a mom of two boys makes this work especially personal. I know how much families value welcoming spaces, thoughtful service, and people they can trust. That perspective drew me to helping other businesses serve young children and their families.
Through Vasco Consulting, I bring practical experience and a parent's perspective to play spaces and other child-centered businesses—helping owners build strong teams, simplify operations, and create experiences that bring families back. Nicole Weppner, Founder
Working With Us
Who you'll work with.
I personally lead every client engagement. Depending on the scope of work, I may bring in trusted team members — professionals with direct experience working with children and families — to support staff guidance or implementation. You'll always know who is involved and why.
How We Work
Hands-on, honest, and built around your business.
We start with a conversation
Every engagement begins with a no-pressure introductory call to understand your business, your goals, and where you're feeling stuck.
We give you honest observations
We tell you what we see — what's working and what isn't — delivered with care but without sugarcoating. You deserve a clear picture.
We build a plan you can actually use
Every recommendation comes with clear steps and realistic timelines. No vague suggestions, no reports that sit on a shelf.
We follow up
Follow-up support is tailored to your package, with the timing, number of check-ins, and availability agreed upon before we begin.
Our Specialty
A particular passion for businesses serving children and families.
Over the years, I've found that the businesses I connect with most deeply are the ones where families walk through the door — preschools, children's activity centers, family restaurants, youth programs, and similar businesses.
These businesses carry a special kind of responsibility. Parents trust you with what matters most to them. That trust is earned slowly and lost quickly. I understand that dynamic, and I bring that understanding to every engagement.
Let's talk about your business.
Whether you're struggling with a specific challenge or just know something could be better — I'd love to hear about it.
