Building A New Day Care Center

You have decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff will consist of five (5) Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) Registered Nurse Professional, five (5) After-School Assistants and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful. Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.

An increase in baby booming makes it tougher for working parents to find daycare. The facts prove that having children come with a true price. Even so it doesn’t change the issues of finding child care or makes them go away. When parents work, quality child care is a necessity. And it does not come cheap. For families with more than one child, child care can eat up one salary, leaving parents wondering both working is worth it. When thinking of child care there are some options to consider like choosing a child care center, the costs of child care centers, and waiting lists.

There are around currently 120 children attending on a daily basis and around 85% attend on a full

to 5:00 p.m.). Fees do not vary if less than a full day or less than a month of daycare is used by the parents. Based on projected demand, it is expected that the daycare center will open in January 1997 with 120 children. Ms. Nemet has been successful in negotiating a ratio of 6 children to 1 daycare worker for the first year of operation. Daycare workers earn $6.50 per hour. They work from 9 to 5 and get paid for eight hours. Children get a snack and lunch. The food cost is $3.00 per child per day. The cost of supplies is $1.50 per child per day. The City of Northville has purchased certain equipment (such as cots and desks) for the first 120 children. However, these costs are estimated to increase by $50 per child as the enrollment at the daycare center goes up. For the first four months, it is expected that the number of children will grow by 10 percent, beginning in February 2000. Beginning June 2000, the monthly growth is expected to be 5 percent. Parents pay $200 per month per child. In the first year, Northville is "donating" space and utilities. Ms. Lux says that this city contribution is worth $2,000 a month. Mr. Legato says that the union will contribute to the cost of the city's new daycare center by providing $1.00 per child per day for the children of union members. It is estimated that 70 percent of the children will be children of union members. The state has a subsidized daycare start-up grant for the first year of

Have you ever thought why won’t the schools develop daycare programs at the school? The daycare center at the school for young teen mothers who dropout of school to start their career early without furthering their education and young teen fathers won’t feel the need to drop out to get a job and support his child. There are some on site daycare’s in some states but there’s just a few, there needs to be more. Although having on site daycare center has some bad to it, to others it has some good to it like teen parents feeling of security can be satisfied knowing that their child is in a safe place, create more jobs, and teens save up money and welfare won’t be an option.

Nursery – offer full time and part time sessions within a purpose built building for birth to school age

In a regular day to day basis businesses must face a great deal of external and internal forces. Businesses have many different aspects of external and internal forces they must face in order to be successful. External forces, internal forces and trends continually make the pathway for where a business is headed and where a business stands currently. Organizations should do a SWOTT analysis to examine business potential and business risks so that if any action needs to be conducted it can be done before any unwanted events occur within the business (Robinson, Pearce, 2004). United Daycare has several forces and trends that potentially affect the overall business. Nevertheless, in order for any business to function properly the business

Scrivo, Karen Lee. "Child-Care Options." CQ Researcher 8 May 1998: 409-32. Web. 24 June 2012. Let’s break this down so we can better understand. I know first handed that a franchised owned and operated, Primrose School, charges $205 a week for a full time spot in their infant classroom, which equals to be $41 a day and charges $120 a week for a part time spot, which equals to be $60 for two days. I also know of a corporate operated facility, La Petite Academy, which charges a slightly smaller rate, where it is $185 a week for full time, which equals $37 a day and $120 for part time, which equals to be $60 for two days. For the sake of this topic discussion, let’s go with choosing Primrose School as your child’s full time facility. Large franchises like this make you pay for when your child is ill and unable to attend, major holidays, school cancelations and bad weather days when the school is shut down. If you’re paying $205 a week, that averages out to be $820 a month and if you’re paying $820 a month then that averages out to be $9,840 a year for one child. Karen Scrivo was very accurate when she said $10,000 a year. Now, if that’s going to break your bank like it did mine, there is another option, in-home day cares. In-home daycares are a lot more flexible when it comes to tuition and willing to work with parents on what they can and cannot

The location we would like to start our child care center in is 6800 Shakespeare Rd, Columbia, SC 29223 Columbia, South Carolina. There are 13 licensed centers in our community within our local zip code with an average capacity of 20-240 children. There are 7 Head Start programs and no Early Start programs that operate in the community. The Head Start programs do not specify how many children they serve. Our community has 1 faith-based program. These faith based programs are not exempt from licensure and they serve 100-238 children. Our local public schools offer head start in the whole county for pre-Kindergarten aged children. There is no YMCA in our community.

Parent knowledge of the requirements for daycares will help them make informed decisions when choosing a possible provider. Shared

For the collaboration portion of my project I chose to collaborate with the daycare director and 10 parents of the children who attend the daycare. The role of the director was to inform me and help me to better understand how their policies work and how they respond to policy change. The parent’s role in this collaboration process included giving me feedback and ideas on what changes they would like to see and what they already like about the current policy. In order to obtain the information I needed for this project, I met with the director and parents of the children on many different occasions to observe and interview the parents and staff members. Also when meeting with the director and parents we discussed my observations and ideas that

At this daycare in Cincinnati, there is a big room that the kids can play. In the big room there are different sections labeled with fine motor toys, sensory toys and etc. The toddlers and kids have about a half hour each day to explore and play with those toys. According to Gonzalez- Mena & Eyer (2015) " Promoting motor development in toddlers follows the same principles as those for infants. Toddlers need freedom to move and experience a variety of ways of using the skills they posess" (p.146). The big room allows the toddlers to have freedom and to move around the room. According to Gonzalez-Mena & Eyer (2015) "Wandering usually involves picking up objects, carrying them to another location,and putting them down" (pg.147). While I have

Describe the child care center’s most important company strengths and core competencies. What factors will make the center succeed?

One major concern is the complications of the age requirement for children in daycare. For this reason, many students are not able to enroll or attend their academic courses. There is a need of a nursery between six weeks to two years old. Majority of the students rapidly must tackle new concerns with a newborn when wanting to re-enlist back to school. Therefore, it is recommended that a nursery is needed to be established in the Avon William Campus. Attention should be given to the issue that students lack the support for assistance in having a trustworthy caregiver.

Friedman doesn 't think this expansion would be profitable. However, he has never done an analysis of the situation and has not thought about an appropriate tuition. He believes that the infant/instructor ratio in his center should be no higher than 5 infants to one instructor. The center would have no food costs for the infants. Compton will only agree to Friedman 's suggested changes if the center will continue to operate at or above the current profit level. Friedman does not start a new class unless more students are on the waiting list than are required per class. Obviously, enough students are on the 5-to-6 age group waiting list to start a new class. Lately, however, he has wondered if the center could make a profit by starting classes with fewer than the requisite number, taking the chance that new students would appear and could be added immediately. Information from his various inquiries implies that a potential market for quality infant care (0 to 24 months) exists. Friedman doesn 't think this expansion would be profitable.
