Testimonials

4PXP empowered me to lead, grow, and advocate for my business, my community, and our children's future. Joining 4PXP changed everything for me! I gained the tools, coaching, and powerful network I needed to strengthen my business, raise my voice, and step into leadership. Through their peer to peer cohort, coaching, programs and advocacy training, I built lasting peer connections, gained confidence to advocate at the Capitol, and grew my center's impact. 4PXP is more than support-it's a movement building stronger providers, businesses, and a stronger future for our children. - Lametress Rodgers, ECE Provider & Owner, Tender Touch Nursery (Richland and Franklin Parishes)
