Martha Picciao is a wife, mother of 3 boys, real estate investor and the Founder and CEO of Whiz Kidz Preschools, a chain of childcare centers in the Phoenix area. It was her dream to build a business she was passionate about while raising her boys in tow. Martha is a dynamic and motivating leader, podcaster and business coach. Her greatest and biggest “why” are her own 3 children and teaching, both littles and other entrepreneurs and leaders. She enjoys cooking, hiking and biking, traveling around the world, boating on the lake with her family and morning workouts. If she’s not mentoring staff, coaching entrepreneurs or working on a new real estate project, she’s spending time with her family or on a sideline of some sort. She strives to make an impact in her community through impact giving and hosting church city group for business women. She is a graduate of Arizona State CumLaude with her BA in Education and a former first grade teacher. She began her home preschool that has since expanded to 6 preschool centers in the Phoenix area, with more expansions on the horizon, employs over 175 staff members, and serves over 600 families. Whiz Kidz has been voted best childcare 5 years in a row and has earned a spot on the Inc 5000 4 years in a row, and Martha was peer nominated by Phoenix Business Journal in 2021 Community Impact for their service through the pandemic and in 2022 “Most Admired Leaders” Award. She is actively involved in the community, serving on several boards like Entrepreneurs Organization “EO”, volunteers at her kids’ schools, and serves through hospitality. Faith is her source of strength and fundamental to lead and serve others.
