II. Introduction

Golden Honey Bee Pre-School Center is a Limited Liability Company/s-Corp owned by

S.F. who has over 17 years in the childcare industry and has worked vigorously to
provide care for all children regardless of race, gender, or economic status. Ms.
Fleet has worked tirelessly to the Development of a Pre-School Center, which will
operate under the philosophy that children need to be treated with warmth &
respect. The children served by Golden Honey Bee Pre-School Center will be
surrounded with experiences that will foster physical, social, academic, emotional,
and cognitive growth.

Golden Honey Bee’ atmosphere will embody loving tenderness while encouraging
independence, constructive problem solving, positive self-esteem, and improved self-
worth. The Director of the proposed center has operated a self-owned licensed family
daycare for well over 8 years. Ms. Fleet has also operated several daycare facilities
for over 10 years, and is certified with the State of Maryland to serve children ages
0-15 years old, with a maximum capacity not to exceed fifty children.

Children enrolled at Golden Honey Bee Pre-School Center

S.F. began childcare services with the mission of providing tender loving care, while
making learning fun, along with providing low-income families with quality childcare.
She is passionate about the needs to assist children during early childhood
development with a stable, enriching and loving environment while their parents
provide financial means for their families. She also understands the problems of
lower income parents who cannot afford to pay for quality childcare. She has been
operating day centers from her heart embodied with the passion to help families find
personal & financial stability.

III. Industry Analysis

The childcare industry remains essentially a mom-and-pop business ringing up

annual sales estimated to be between $10 billion and $35 billion. Although the
national chains grew 200% during the 80’s, they still accounted for only 5% of the
childcare centers operating nationwide. In 1995, only 9 chains have as many as 24
childcare centers. The remainder operates on a much smaller scale. Several being
non-profit childcare centers, or licensed as a family daycare, which operates within
the provider’s home.

Profit margins in the industry are very slim. The average for-profit daycare center
earns 5% over costs. Some franchise operations function at about 7% margins.
Information on the costs involved in the daycare industry was found in the 2003
report entitled “Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes in Childcare Centers”. Because
childcare is so labor intensive, labor costs account for 70% of a center’s total
expensed costs. Facilities make up 15% of the expended cost budget. However
economies of scale can be realized. Total expended costs decline as the number of
children served within the childcare center increases. On average, childcare centers
with forty (40) or more full-time enrolled children realized a 10% savings in total
cost per child per hour, while childcare centers with 80 full-time enrolled children
realized a 20% cost savings.

As found in the recent study, “Cost, Quality and Outcomes Study and the Study of
Quality in Family Care and Relative Care”, childcare is one of the lowest paid
occupations. A study by the National Committee on Pay Equity (1999) discovered
that childcare is the second most underpaid profession, and has one of the highest
turnover rates among any industry.

Childcare workers often receive few benefits, such as medical and dental insurance
and paid time off. A good-quality center is characterized by adequate providers’
wages, education and training, resulting in lower turnover. The national childcare
staffing study (1999) found that wages were the most important predictor of quality
of care. Adequate pay is necessary to attract childcare workers with necessary
education and training to provide children with quality care.

High turnover of staff is a concern. The primary reason why people leave their jobs
with childcare centers is the low income. 31% of the providers earning $200 or less
per week left the occupation during 1990 as compared with 15% for those earning
more than that amount.

Other factors that influence their choice to leave of stay include: working conditions,
increasing demands of parents that can not be met, lack of benefits, personal
reasons (retirement or pregnancy) and lack of career opportunities.
How children spend their time before and after school is a concern for many parents.
According to the Child Care Bulletin (March/April 1995, Issue 2) the average child
spends 3 hours a day watching television or playing video games. Other activities
include playing with friends, homework and reading. 76% of school-aged children
whose mothers work are cared for by 2 or more different childcare arrangements per
week. Almost 15% (14.6%) of children spend some time alone each week, with that
percentage increasing with age.
Golden Honey Bee Pre-School Center

Critical childcare factors

There are 4 demographic and socio-economic factors that have a strong influence on
the childcare industry. They are:

 The number of preschool children.

 The number of working mothers with preschool children.
 The likelihood that parents will select a childcare center over other childcare
arrangements.
 The financial ability to pay for childcare centers.
Golden Honey Bee Pre-School Center

Number of Pre-School Children.

The preschool population has been increasing nationally on a steady basis. Since
1989, over 4-million children have been born annually, and that figure is expected to
be similar for 1997. Data from the National Center of Health Statistics indicates that
over half of the babies born in 1994 were born to women aged 20 to 29, while a
third were born to women in their 30’s. Among women aged 40 to 44, they saw an
8% increase in the number of babies born. Older mothers are more likely to earn
more and spend more on their children.

This steady growth can be attributed to several factors. One factor involves a higher
than anticipated birth rate of immigrant mothers. Another factor is the fertility rates
for women in there 30’s are higher than anticipated. Children born to women in their
30’s was 33% in 1988 as compared to 19% in 1976. The trend of women delaying
childbirth is expected to continue. The encouraging impacts of this trend for the
childcare industry is that women aged 30-34 are more likely to return to work
quickly and require childcare services. These mothers have established careers to
support their family lifestyles.

One factor that could have an impact both positively and/or negatively is the
decreasing size of American families. There will be fewer children born to each
family, but the overall rate, as stated above, is expected to remain relatively
consistent. The good news to the childcare industry is that the shift to later child
bearing and smaller families provides a greater number of households with two
incomes. These families with two incomes will have more disposable income to spend
on their children and the mother will be more inclined to continue to work after the
children are born.

Number Of Working Mothers With Preschool Children

The number of mothers with preschool children that are working has risen steadily
since the 1960’s. In 1990, 55% of the mothers with children under 6 were working
and is expected to increase to 75% by the year 2000. This trend is expected to
continue due to a shift in attitudes towards working women. The Census Bureau
reports that the percentage of mothers with infants under the age of 1 year old
returning to work has increased from 15% in1968 to 51% in 1988.

The Study of Early Childcare, by the National Institute of Child Health and
Development, found that half of the infants in the study were enrolled at a childcare
center at 3 months of age.

that we deliver quality service and reasonable rates. We will maintain
