What Is a Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your preschool business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategies for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan

If you’re looking to start a preschool business or grow your existing preschool company, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your preschool business to improve your chances of success. Your preschool business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Preschool Businesses

With regard to funding, the main sources of funding for a preschool business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans, and angel investors. When it comes to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to ensure that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for preschool companies.

How to write a business plan for a preschool business.

If you want to start a preschool business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. The guide below details the necessary information for how to write each essential component of your preschool business plan.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your executive summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the kind of preschool business you are running and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a preschool business that you would like to grow, or are you operating a chain of preschool businesses?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan.

  • Give a brief overview of the preschool industry.
  • Discuss the type of preschool business you are operating.
  • Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers.
  • Provide a snapshot of your marketing strategy. Identify the key members of your team.
  • Offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Overview

In your company overview, you will detail the type of preschool business you are operating.

For example, you might specialize in one of the following types of preschool businesses:

  • Parent co-op preschool : Preschools that offer lower-cost enrollment in exchange for the volunteer work of a parent on a regular (typically weekly) basis. This type of preschool employs a teacher and an aide, but also includes parents, which reduces the payroll costs considerably.
  • Academic/play-based preschool: Preschools that stress learning via a number of experiences in academic introductions. Play-based learning is also introduced in math and pre-reading games and other forms of learning-while-you-play interactions.
  • Religious preschool: Preschools that adhere to the religious practices and beliefs of the parents in teaching, while including academic and play-based experiences for preschoolers.
  • Learning system preschool: Systems of specific teaching theories, such as Waldorf and Montessori, are offered at this type of preschool. These preschools are based on proven structures for learning.
  • Development-interaction preschool: Preschools that offer a holistic approach to preschool, focusing on the emotional, intellectual, social and physical growth of each preschool child.

In addition to explaining the type of preschool business you will operate, the company overview needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to questions such as:

  • When and why did you start the business?
  • What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of programs offered, the number of preschool graduates, reaching X number of preschool locations, etc.
  • Your legal business Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry or market analysis, you need to provide an overview of the preschool industry. While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the preschool industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your marketing strategy, particularly if your analysis identifies market trends.

The third reason is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your preschool business plan:

  • How big is the preschool industry (in dollars)?
  • Is the market declining or increasing?
  • Who are the key competitors in the market?
  • Who are the key suppliers in the market?
  • What trends are affecting the industry?
  • What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
  • What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential target market for your preschool business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your preschool business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: parents, grandparents, children, and churches, and schools.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of preschool business you operate. Clearly, parents would respond to different marketing promotions than churches, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, including a discussion of the ages, genders, locations, and income levels of the potential customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can recognize and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other preschool businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to choose for their preschoolers that aren’t directly competing with your service. This includes private tutors, public schools, nannies and babysitters. You need to mention direct competition, as well.

For each direct competitor, provide an overview of their business and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as

  • What types of families do they serve?
  • What type of preschool business are they?
  • What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
  • What are they good at?
  • What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

  • Will you provide options for translation services?
  • Will you offer family-discounts that your competition doesn’t?
  • Will you provide better playgrounds and amenities?
  • Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing plan.

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a preschool business plan, your marketing strategy should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of preschool company that you documented in your company overview. Then, detail the specific products or services you will be offering. For example, will you provide developmental, religious, academic or play-based learning systems?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your plan, you are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the site(s) of your preschool(s). Document where your company is situated and mention how the sites will impact your success. For example, is your preschool business located in a new, master-planned community, near a business district, or in a standalone building?  Discuss how your site might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your preschool marketing plan is where you will document how you will drive potential customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

  • Advertise in local papers, radio stations and/or magazines
  • Reach out to websites
  • Distribute flyers
  • Engage in email marketing
  • Advertise on social media platforms
  • Improve the SEO (search engine optimization) on your website for targeted keywords

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your preschool business, including answering calls, placing preschoolers into programs, meeting with parents, planning and providing teaching sessions, billing and collecting revenue, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to open your fifth preschool, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your preschool business to a new community in your city.

Management Team

To demonstrate your preschool business’ potential to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally, you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing preschool businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act as mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing a preschool business or successfully leading as a principal of a public elementary school.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenue and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you open a new preschool every two years, or offer summer school and daycare sessions? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your preschool business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a lender writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and ensure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

When creating your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a preschool business:

  • Cost of classroom furniture, equipment and office supplies
  • Payroll or salaries paid to staff
  • Business insurance
  • Other start-up expenses (if you’re a new business) like legal expenses, permits, computer software, and equipment

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your list of parents who have enrolled their children on contract for the next two years, or the waitlist of parents who want their children to attend your preschool.

Writing a business plan for your preschool business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will understand the preschool industry, your competition, and your customers. You will develop a marketing strategy and will understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful preschool business.

We have placed structures and processes in place that will help us achieve our plan of successfully transferring the business from one family member to another and from one generation to another without hitches.

Company Summary

3.1 company owner.

Theodore Krasinski will be the owner and manager of LearnALot. Theo got his master’s in education three years ago after which he served as a teacher for two years and as a principal in the third year. However, he always felt a need to do more so he decided to open a special preschool himself. 

3.2 Company History

Theo noticed that though public schools were trying their best, they didn’t focus on acquiring the tools to cater to children of different needs. There was also a lack of preschools and daycares in the surrounding. To eradicate this issue, Theo decided to open a preschool that would prepare students of all kinds to keep up when they got into school. 

3.3 How the Preschool will be started

Step1: Evaluate Goals

Starting up a preschool business or any business in that domain requires a lot more than money. Before you start a business, you need to be sure about the goal you want to achieve via it. The goal can be scaling up the business, earning profits or increasing the well-being of the community, or anything else. But there needs to be a solid goal to direct your operations.

In this open driving school business plan , we will list the SMART business goals adopted by LearnALot.

Step3: Plan Structure and Logistics

Now that you know the base details of the business, you will be able to sort out the finances. This will include estimating the costs that will be involved in starting the business. 

Step4: Get Funding

Any business needs money to start and function before it can become self-sustaining. To get the initial funding for LearnALot, Theo decided to write up a strong business plan that would wow the investors. 

Step5: Find a Physical Space

Every business, big or small, needs space to function. Therefore, to start a preschool, you will need a building to set up everything. Theo decided to rent out a building with some space in the front so that he could develop an outdoor play area as well. 

Step6: Promote and Market

The final step of the business is to develop a marketing plan to promote the business both in the online and physical realm. Theo will hire a marketing plan specialist to develop a marketing plan that can be easily followed to bring more customers to the business.

Preschool Business Plans - Startup Cost

All business plans including business plans for preschools include details of what services or products the business will provide. Deciding these things ahead of time allows you to develop a preschool business proposal more efficiently. 

A preschool business plan like an e-learning business plan will help you map your business in detail. That will, in turn, allow you to manage it in a better way and gain more funding. 

In the case of this preschool business plan template, Theo decided to include all the major services that he will offer to the customers through his business. 

  • Day Care Services

The primary service provided by LearnALot will be daycare. The business will offer daycare services for all types of parents. This will include parents who just want to drop their kids temporarily for a few hours while they get done with their day-to-day tasks. The other option will be for parents who want to entrust their kids regularly as they are off to work. 

  • Special Education Services

LearnALot will also cater to families and parents who have special needs children. This can include children who need help with physical activities or children, who, perhaps have a different way and speed of learning. 

As Theo wants to offer a one-place-for-everything business, there will also be some learning activities for the kids to learn as they play. Parents will have the choice of opting their kids out of these activities. However, Theo will try to encourage parents to allow their children, a free environment so they can adjust better when they get into school later. 

  • Transportation

LearnALot is primarily a business for children with parents who are busy working for a living. So keeping their busy routines in mind, the business will also offer ‘pick and drop’ services to facilitate such parents.

How to Write a Preschool Business Plan [Sample Template]

Do you want to start a preschool and need to write a plan? If YES, here is a complete sample preschool business plan template & FREE feasibility report. There are various business ideas that you may want to start.

However there are some businesses that guarantee good returns on investment. Chief amongst it is the preschool business. One of the reasons why this business is good is the point that you are able to help mound lives whilst you are making good money.

Why Start a Preschool?

Running a preschool can be a very rewarding and profitable venture. An entrepreneur who is interested in children education and also having a business might find that opening a preschool would meet both desires. Before starting a preschool, one must be prepared by ensuring that they carefully plan out the venture from the beginning, by researching on local and state laws that govern pre – school education business.

What Does It Take to Start a Preschool Successfully?

There must also be planning as regards space, getting insurance, developing a curriculum, hiring additional staff, advertising and registration of children. A pre – school program is a business that requires that no details be overlooked.

The first thing that needs to be done before starting out is in contacting the local governing body of child care for relevant information regarding the opening of a preschool. When approaching the governing agency, ask to meet with the administrators, so as to discuss your business idea, and get information on how to become a licensed preschool program provider.

After gathering all the information that you would need including written literature, you would need to contact the local government as regards getting a license to start. Depending on the state you will be operating in, you might be required to register and pay a fee to obtain licensees.

You will also need to ensure that the property you intend to use as a facility is in an acceptable area from which the business can be started, even if it is a section of your own residence, this can be done by contacting the zoning department of your local government, and if the area you choose is not suitable, you will be advised on suitable areas.

After applying for a business license as required by the state and meeting any other special requirements needed in order to become a preschool, you should then consult with insurance agencies regarding the right coverage for your facility. Ensure you choose a plan that will adequately cover you, your clients, as well as your business.

Lastly, ensure that you prepare your location for safety inspections, while ensuring that your facility has emergency evacuation plan in place for any unforeseen circumstances or disasters. Also prepare a curriculum for your pre – school program.

You can either choose an established program from a particular publisher or choose various materials from several publishers, while not forgetting that you have an option of creating your own curriculum. Do not also forget to hire qualified staff after running background checks, and marketing your school.

A Sample Preschool Business Plan Template

1. industry overview.

The Preschool industry operators provide day care services for children under the ages of three and four to prepare them for kindergarten.

The dispersion of the preschool programs reflects in the geographic distribution of the children, which is also influenced by the cost and supply of pre – school programs, income and housing affordability patterns, labor, and child care subsidy policies. Also, varying state and local regulations and licensing requirements affect employment in this industry.

According to research and statistics, this industry generates $53 billion annually, and is projected to have an annual growth rate of 2.5% by 2016. The number of business in this industry amounts to 768,021, employing 1,664,311 people.

There are about 53,000 commercial facilities, plus about 21,000 facilities run by non-profit organizations. The industry is highly fragmented as the top 50 companies generate less than 20% of revenue for the entire industry.

Preschool programs became popular especially as more percentage of women in the workforce grew by nearly 71% in 2007. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 28% of mothers with young children worked in 1975, which has more than doubled by 60% by 2013.

Over the same period, employees in the daycare industry increased by nearly 250%. The bureau also noted that investment in childcare by non-profit and government agencies, as well as new tax credits, also helped to fuel the industry’s growth.

According to the Child Care Aware group, about 11 million children under the ages of 5, spend an average of 35 hours a week in childcare. Infants in center-based care had an average annual cost that ranged from $5,496 in Mississippi to $16,549 in Massachusetts; 4 year olds had care in a center ranging from $4,515 in Tennessee to $12,320 in Massachusetts; with the quality of care and degree of regulation varying widely.

Also, childcare workers were seen to be paid the lowest wages in any professional field, $21,490 on average. However, the recovery of the economy is already impacting greatly on the preschool market.

Parents and especially mothers are going back to work, thereby causing the demand for preschools and preschool services to grow. This means that disposable income will increase which will let parents especially women put more resources towards child care like the high value early educational programs.

Even though this might seem like a saturated field, it isn’t, as there is always a constant demand for parents to prepare their children for proper schooling. The incentives in venturing into or starting a pre – school are having an impact on toddlers who are struggling academically and getting them engaged so that their parents will carry out their businesses or other activities.

6. SWOT Analysis

Future Stars® Pre – School engaged the services of a core professional in the area of business consulting and structuring to assist our pre – school in building a well – structured educational business that can favorably compete in the highly competitive education industry.

Part of what the team of business consultant did was to work with the management of our organization in conducting a SWOT analysis for Future Stars® Pre – School. Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of The Future Stars® Pre – School;

Our core strength lies in the power of our team; our workforce. We have a team that has the right passion and drive for taking care of toddlers, a team with excellent qualifications and experience in daycare / pre – school education. We are well positioned in a community with the right demographic composition and we know we will attract loads of parents who would want to enroll their kids from the first day we open our doors for daycare services.

As a new pre – school / daycare center in Ashville – North Carolina, it might take some time for our organization to break into the market and gain acceptance in the already saturated pre – school / education industry; that is perhaps our major weakness. Also we might not have the required money to pump into advertising and promoting our brand the way we would want to.

  • Opportunities:

The opportunities in the pre – school / education industry is massive considering the number of parents who would want their kids under school age to be in safe place and to get them prepared for kindergarten. As a standard, safe and highly comfortable daycare center, we are ready to take advantage of any opportunity that comes our way.

Every business faces a threats or challenges at any part of the life cycle of the business. These threats can be external or internal. This shows the importance of a business plan, because most threats or challenges are to be anticipated and plans put in place to cushion what effect they might bring to the pre – school.

Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a pre – school operating in the United States of America are unfavorable government policies that might affect daycare centers, the arrival of a competitor within our location of operations and global economic downturn which usually affects spending / purchasing power. There is hardly anything we can do as regards these threats other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.

The trend in the pre – school / daycare center line of business is that the keys to attracting parents to enroll their wards is the safety, cleanliness, location and of course the overall comfort of their toddlers.

The trend in the daycare center industry is such that players in this industry can now comfortably start their daycare business in an business district; a place where it is easier for working class parents to take advantage of their launch breaks and even tea breaks to dash down to breast – feed and cuddle their children before dashing back to work.

The demand for pre – schools is driven by the fact that most parents work or are engaged in businesses that takes them away from their kids that are under school age and one of the options left is to enroll such kid in a daycare center.

The economic downturn hasn’t really affected this industry, especially in countries that believe in the efficacy of early education. The areas you would need to spend heavily on is in ensuring that your school is up to standard, is the facility, your advertisements, and insurance.

  • Ensure that all our staff members wear our branded shirts and all our vehicles are well branded with our schools’ logo et al.

12. Our Pricing Strategy

Generally for pre – school and daycare services flat fees on a weekly or monthly basis is what is obtainable. As a result of this, Future Stars® Pre – School will charge our parents who enrolled their toddlers in our daycare center flat fees except for few occasions where there will be need for us to charge special students on hourly basis.

At Future Stars® Pre – School we will keep our fees below the average market rate for all of our students by keeping our overhead low and by collecting payment in advance. In addition, we will also offer special discounted rates to all our students at regular intervals.

We are aware that there are some kids that would need special assistance, we will offer flat rate for such services that will be tailored to take care of such kids’ needs.

  • Payment Options

At Future Stars® Pre – School, our payment policy will be all inclusive because we are quite aware that different people prefer different payment options as it suits them. Here are the payment options that we will make available to our clients;

  • Payment by via bank transfer
  • Payment via online bank transfer
  • Payment via check
  • Payment via bank draft
  • Payment via mobile money
  • Payment with cash

In view of the above, we have chosen banking platforms that will help us achieve our plans with little or no itches.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

In setting up a pre – school business, the amount or cost will depend on the approach and scale you want to undertake. If you intend to go big by renting a place, then you would need a higher amount of capital as you would need to ensure that your employees are well taken care of, and that your pre – school’s environment is conducive enough to keep kids.

This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your goals, vision and aspirations for your business. The materials and equipment that will be used are nearly the same cost everywhere, and any difference in prices would be minimal and can be overlooked.

As for the detailed cost analysis for starting a pre – school business; it might differ in other countries due to the value of their money. However, this is what it would cost us in the United of America;

  • Business incorporating fees in the United States of America will cost – $750.
  • The budget for Liability insurance, permits and license will cost – $3,500
  • Acquiring a facility / property that will accommodate the number of kids that we want to take care of for at least 6 months (Re – Construction of the facility inclusive) will cost – $35,000.
  • Equipping the office (computers, printers, projectors, markers, pens and pencils, furniture, telephones, filing cabinets, and electronics) will cost – $10,000
  • The budget for paying staff members and utility bills for at least 3 months – $70,000
  • The budget for start – up inventories (toiletries, toys, cots, and mats et al) – $2,500
  • Launching an official Website will cost – $500
  • Additional Expenditure such as Business cards, Signage, Adverts and Promotions will cost – $5,000

Going by the report from the market research and feasibility studies conducted, we will need about two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) U.S. dollars to successfully set – up a medium scale but standard and well equipped pre – school / daycare center in the United States of America.

Generating Funding / Startup Capital for Future Stars® Pre – School

Future Stars® Pre – School is a private business that will be owned by Mrs. Clara Jake – McPherson and family. They are the sole financial of the business which is why they decided to restrict the sourcing of the start – up capital for the business to just three major sources.

These are the areas we intend generating our start – up capital;

  • Generate part of the start – up capital from personal savings and sale of his stocks
  • Generate part of the start – up capital from friends and other extended family members
  • Generate a larger chunk of the startup capital from the bank (loan facility).

N.B: We have been able to generate about $100,000 (Personal savings $85,000 and soft loan from family members $15,000) and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of $150,000 from our bank. All the papers and document has been duly signed and submitted, the loan has been approved and any moment from now our account will be credited.

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

It is easier for businesses to survive when they have steady flow of business deals / customers patronizing their products and services. We are aware of this which is why we have decided to offer a wide range of tutorial services and other related services to high school students, students with disabilities and elderly students (adult education).

We know that if we continue to deliver excellent daycare services, there will be steady flow of income for the organization. Our key sustainability and expansion strategy is to ensure that we only hire competent and selfless staff members, create a conducive working environment and employee benefits for our staff members.

In the nearest future, we will explore the options of either selling out franchise or expanding our scope beyond Ashville – North Carolina to other major cities in the United States of America. We know that if we implement our business strategies, we will achieve our business goals and objectives in record time.

Child Care Director Resources How to Make a Preschool Business Plan

How to Make a Preschool Business Plan

11th August 2020

An important early step for starting any new business is to make your business plan. Starting a preschool is no different! What expenses do you need to take into consideration? How can you think about setting your pricing? What ages should you take? What hours should you operate? Here’s how to think through each of these decisions to form your preschool business plan.

Preschool Business Plan Basics: Wonderschool’s Iron Triangle of ECE Finance

Before you think through specific business decisions you’ll need to make, it’s important to understand what you’re striving for. Meet the iron triangle. For a preschool business to be financially stable, the iron triangle must be met:

  • Full enrollment: ensure that all of your spaces are full.
  • Full fee collection: ensure that you are collecting all of your tuition and on time.
  • Revenue covers real cost-per-child: you need to ensure you are priced in such a way that your revenue is truly covering the cost of caring for each child.

Important Business-Related Decisions You’ll Need to Make

Type of license: Most states have at least two options for in-home child care licenses . Often there’s a “small” license and a “large” license, with a large license allowing you to have more children. If you’re just getting started you’ll have to choose which type of license you want. There are usually different requirements for each. For example, in California, to obtain a large license for up to 14 children, your home must meet certain fire safety requirements like number of exits and you need to have previous experience working in a licensed child care program.

One thing to keep in mind is that just because you have a license for a certain number of children, does not mean that you need to fill all of those spots. If you qualify for a larger license, you can get it and still only serve 6-8 children if you so choose.

Regardless of what you choose to do, you’ll want to make sure you understand the details of your particular license. How many children can you have at one time? What ratio of staff to children are you required to maintain?

Hours of operation: Do you plan to run a full day program? Or a half-day program? Will you operate a more “normal” school day schedule and offer before and after care for an extra fee?

Families need all sorts of care options. Think about your immediate community when thinking about your hours of operation. If you have a lot of stay at home parents, a part-day program might be perfect. If you have a lot of dual-earning parents who commute a long distance to get to their workplaces, you might need to offer extended hours.

Keep in mind that what you decide on initially does not have to be set in stone. You can always change it later, if needed. You’ll know if you’re not offering a good match for what the families in your community need if you’re not getting much interest, or if families aren’t enrolling once they tour.

Schedules you’ll offer: Related to your hours of operation, you’ll need to think about what schedules you’ll make available. Will you allow parents to enroll part time? Or do you only want full time enrollments? If you have part time schedules available, what does that look like? Is it Monday, Wednesday, Friday? Or is it half days?

Keep in mind that you can charge a higher rate for part time spots because it can be very hard to fill the alternative spots, plus the added paperwork for you. That said, not everyone wants to offer part time care.

Ages you’ll enroll: Deciding who you’ll enroll will depend on your comfort and background. If you have a lot of experience caring for and educating a specific age group, that might be your starting point. Most in-home programs serve a variety of ages, so even if your experience is with preschoolers, you may want to consider branching out from that. If your goal is to fill up quickly, infant care might be your ideal starting place, because that is an age group that is in constant high demand.

The ages you enroll will also dictate what you can charge. Because of the lower ratios required for infant care, you can charge more for infants. Often programs have separate pricing for children under 2 and children over 2.

Meals or other things you’ll offer: Will you provide snacks or meals? Or will you ask parents to provide those every day? Will you hire a yoga teacher to come once a week? Will you provide diapers, or will parents provide diapers? These are all expenses you’ll need to account for in your tuition pricing. Remember that one part of the iron triangle is ensuring your pricing covers the actual cost of care per child. These expenses should be taken into account.

Your plan for hiring staff: You may not need to hire staff until your enrollments surpass a certain number. Determine what that number is for you– do you feel comfortable caring for three children alone, but not four? Decide at what point you’ll hire help, and how many hours you intend for them to work. Will you have a full time assistant? Or two part time assistants?

Decide on how many hours per week you will need to pay your staff, and then determine what you can afford to pay them. Researching on Indeed can be a great way to get a sense of pay scale for assistant teachers in your area. Keep in mind that paying a higher amount will likely yield more higher quality and more reliable candidates. If you’re priced too low you either won’t find anyone, or will have to deal with increased staff turnover.

Your vacation policy: You’ll want to think through your vacation policy, both for time you take off, and for time your families take off. Will parents need to pay while they’re on vacation? Or will you give them a discount? Will parents need to pay while you’re on vacation? Or will you give them a discount? There are pros and cons however you do it, but you’ll want to think this through and include your policy in your parent handbook so the expectations are set from the start. However you structure it, you deserve to get paid vacation, so if parents aren’t continuing to pay while you’re closed, you’ll want to make sure that gets added to your tuition calculations.

Use the Above Information to Determine Your Pricing

Pricing can be a bit of trial and error. Generally, it can be a good idea to price yourself a bit lower when you’re just getting started. Then, when you’re full, you can gradually increase your prices.

To determine your starting point, add up all of your anticipated monthly expenses. You’ll need to price yourself to make sure you cover those expenses, and also pay yourself. Keep in mind that as a business owner, you’ll be responsible for paying your own taxes. You can generally expect to pay 30% of your revenue to taxes.

Keeping it All Organized

Pricing might feel like a bit of a puzzle that needs to be fit together, and it should. You want to make sure your pricing reflects your real costs as a business owner. The final piece to your business plan is that you’ll want to make sure you figure out how you’re going to track all of your business expenses. This will make it easier when it comes time to pay taxes, but it will also help you keep an eye on the health of your business. There are a variety of tools available to purchase to track this stuff, or you can start out with your own spreadsheet or pen and paper system. Whatever works for you is fine, just set it up and use it. Sometimes our tendency with money is to bury our heads in the sand, but that won’t help you make informed decisions down the road.

Starting a new business always comes with a certain amount of risk. By thinking through all of the different facets of your child care business, you will better be able to mitigate that risk. It can be scary to stand up and say “this is what my time as an early educator and care provider is worth,” but your business plan should give you confidence to do just that. Good luck with your successful and sustainable child care business!

The Importance of a Preschool Business Plan

Like any business, a preschool comes with numerous requirements for you to meet. You will need funding, marketing strategies, materials, and equipment . With all of those variables mixing into one big goal, you need a guide. You will need something to help attract investors if necessary. This is where a preschool business plan comes into play. Sure, you can still plan things out if you don’t have one. However, there is a detail of organization that you won’t get using anything else.

Tips for Writing a Preschool Business Plan

Those with experience in writing business plans will know all about the nuanced nature of the document. Whether you are looking to create a non profit daycare business plan or one that’s for profit, the little details and the approach are all bound to change. Rather than get a free sample school business plan, here are some tips to help you in the event that you need to write your own business plan from scratch.

Tip 1: Keep it Short

It benefits you more to keep things as short as possible. Yes, there are many aspects of the preschool business to plan for. However, your expression of those plans do not have to be overly long or complicated. Be concise with your plan and you can be guaranteed that your readers will find it much more effective.

Tip 2: Keep Your Audience in Mind

With preschools, your audience should be parents with children of a specific age range. It is important to take note of that because what you offer will center around them. Your strategies, your branding , your methods, and the rest of your plans depend on your audience. Keep them in mind when planning for greater odds of success.

Tip 3: Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

Starting any kind of business is going to be daunting. There’s no shame in admitting that some aspects of your endeavor may feel intimidating at times. However, you can’t allow that to hold back your plans. You need to recognize your goals and objectives so that you can plan around them. Never plan around the fears that grip you.

Tip 4: Be Timely and Realistic

As much as we like to say that you should shoot for the stars, it would be bad advice to leave all pragmatism behind. Your goals and objectives need to be firmly rooted in reality. Don’t let fear hold you back, but at the same time, you must acknowledge where your capabilities remain. Once you learn that, be sure to set a timeline for yourself. That way, you can ensure greater productivity.

What are the six components of a business plan?

First, there is the executive summary , followed by sections that dictate the opportunity and the execution. From there, you have the company and management, the financial plan, and lastly, the appendix.

Is it acceptable to have a professional write your business plan for you?

If writing a preschool business plan is too much for you, or if you lack the time, then you can always recruit a business consultant to help you with it.

How long should my business plan be?

The proper answer for that is as long as you need it to be. It does not have a required number of pages, as long as everything necessary for the execution of your startup is included and explored adequately.

Learning about how to write a proposal for a daycare center or finding the best preschool business plan ppt templates are among the things anybody should do before anything else. By researching the best methods of moving forward, you can avoid the pitfalls and accomplish your desired goals sooner than anticipated. Having learned as much as you can from this article, you may take your new knowledge and apply it when you decide that starting a preschool is your calling. Just remember to choose wisely and act boldly when that time comes!

The Single Most Important Ingredient for Business Success

The first and most important thing you need to acquire in order to succeed in a small business is... knowledge.

Sounds exaggerated? Listen to this...

According to research conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all small business failures can be traced to poor management resulting from lack of knowledge.

This is backed up by my own personal observations. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to small businesses, I've seen practically dozens of small business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work.

Conclusion: if you are really serious about succeeding in a business... If you want to avoid the common traps and mistakes... it is absolutely imperative that you acquire the right knowledge.

"Why Invent Mediocrity, When You Can Copy Genius?"

That's an excellent quote I picked up from a fellow business owner a few years back. What this means is that you should see what is working and try to duplicate Printing Business. Why go through all the trouble of inventing something new, that you don't even know will ever work, when you can easily learn from and duplicate something that has been a proven success?

[ Note: One of the BIGGEST mistakes almost all new businesses make is that they WASTE tons of valuable time, energy and money on trying to create something "new", that has never been tested or proven... only to find out later that it was a total loss. Don't make the same mistake! ]

Hi! My name is Meir. I'm the founder and president of BizMove.com, a successful internet based information business. I'm also the author of numerous books, mostly in the area of small business management.

I've been involved in small business for the past 31 years of my life, as a business coach, manager of a consulting firm, a seminar leader and as the owner of five successful businesses.

During my career as a business coach and consultant I've helped dozens of business owners start their businesses, market, expand, get out of troubles, sell their businesses and do practically every other small business activity you can think of. You see, I have been there .... done it ... and bought the Small Business t-shirt! -- This free book contains techniques and strategies I've learned during my 31 year small business career.

Here's what you'll discover in the 'How to Start a Printing Business' book:

Success Tip: Setting Goals

Good management is the key to success and good management starts with setting goals. Set goals for yourself for the accomplishment of the many tasks necessary in starting and managing your business successfully. Be specific. Write down the goals in measurable terms of performance. Break major goals down into sub-goals, showing what you expect to achieve in the next two to three months, the next six months, the next year, and the next five years. Beside each goal and sub-goal place a specific date showing when it is to be achieved.

Plan the action you must take to attain the goals. While the effort required to reach each sub-goal should be great enough to challenge you, it should not be so great or unreasonable as to discourage you. Do not plan to reach too many goals all at one time.

Establish priorities. Plan in advance how to measure results so you can know exactly how well you are doing. This is what is meant by "measurable" goals. If you can’t keep score as you go along you are likely to lose motivation. Re-work your plan of action to allow for obstacles which may stand in your way. Try to foresee obstacles and plan ways to avert or minimize them.

How to Negotiate Effectively

Hardly a day passes that we are not involved in some type of negotiation. This negotiation may be as simple as attempting to convince a friend to see the movie we choose or as complicated as negotiating a percentage of a business offering or mediating a labor dispute. The following are some suggestions regarding win win negotiation techniques. At any rate, effective negotiation is an art...one that requires preparation and practice in order to be successful. Consider these ten tips for preparing for negotiation and improve your odds for a win-win resolution. 1. Know what you REALLY want. Many people enter negotiation only to find they did not have a clear desired outcome defined in their own mind. Write down your desired outcome as concisely as possible and use this outcome as the center point of your preparation. 2. Know your opposition. Learn as much as possible about who you are negotiating with, what they want, their strengths and weaknesses, and their likes and dislikes.

3. Consider the impact of timing and method of negotiation. Whenever possible, negotiate face to face. It is easier to say NO over the telephone and in writing. Initiate the negotiation process so that you have the advantage of preparation and timing. 4. Prepare your presentation...point by point. Outline your presentation carefully. Place emphasis on benefits to the other party. 5. Anticipate reactions, objections and responses. If possible, brainstorm with others who have had similar negotiations to get a jump on what to expect. For each objection or reaction, list positive responses, alternatives and examples that conteract the negatives.

6. Structure your presentation to ensure agreement on one or two points at the beginning of the negotiation. For example, "I think we can agree right away that we have a problem and that we both/all want to resolve it." Initial agreement on minor issues or points early on in the negotiation process sets a positive atmosphere for agreement in later, more significant stages. 7. Determine paybacks and consequences for each party in the negotiation.

A clear understanding of paybacks and consequences makes it easier to determine when and how to make concessions and when and how to stick to your demands/requests.

8. Prepare options rather than ultimatums. An ultimatum should be used only as a last resort when you are sure you can back it up and the other party knows you can back it up. Even then, in virtually every negotiation there are options and alternatives that reduce defensiveness and lead to positive resolution for all parties. 9. Get comfortable with silence. Many negotiators feel compelled to jump in with arguments and comments each time there is a pause in the interaction. Practice withholding comments and responses. Silence can be a very powerful negotiation tool. 10. Close all negotiations by clearly outlining agreement. When agreement or conclusions have been reached and you are ready to end your negotiation, review the agreement that has been reached. Then, end your negotiation on a positive ote...commending those involved and emphasizing the progress made.

The trend in the private school line of business is that the key to attracting students is the educational performance and the pass rate of their students in national exams. Any private school that has good records will always thrive.

3.2 DEMAND 

The demand for private schools is driven by the fact that most public that is government owned schools cannot accommodate every students or potential students in a given geographical location. In some cases, students with special needs cannot cope in public schools hence the need for private schools.

The economic downturn hasn’t really affected this industry, especially in countries that believe in the efficacy of education. This is the areas The Management of The school will ensure that the school is up to standard, in advertisements, and on insurance policy cover.

What Is a School Business Plan?

A school business plan lays all your school business objectives. It determines how the business intends to function and how it will become financially rewarding.

How to Create a School Business Plan

school business plan template

When attempting to attract finance for your school, a business plan template is very crucial. Your prospective investor will be able to read your well-written business plan discussing all their concerns, addressing their tough questions, and persuading them that your vision is good enough to justify financing.

This short guide will present useful tips and easy to follow instructions that will surely help you how to start a business plan. Read carefully and understand each detail.

1. Create an Executive Summary

Your executive summary must be a short review of the entire school business plan. It requires no more than a page or two in length. Here, you explain how your desired project will work. It has to be a clear and concise overview of the content of your proposal and maintain the same outline as the legal document in its entirety. Generally speaking, your executive summary should invite readers to read more. Make sure it is easy to follow and understand. 

2. Write a Business Description

Next step, write a business description. Although a lot of schools like private schools have an operational and  strategic plan , it is still quite uncommon for a school to create a business plan. In this part, it provides the background information that describes your school's history, needs, and the scope of business actions that your school is planning to develop. 

An article reveals that writing a business description is the most crucial and complex thing to do. This part narrates what your business is all about, how it will be run, and why do you think it will be a successful one.

3. Do Market Research

It has been reported that businesses fall short from time to time and their funders end up losing significant amounts of money. It is because they did not fully understand the industry they were running in and had not taken the initiative to conduct strong and intensive market plans and research before building a business. Knowing the market means understanding who are your prospective clients, what are their needs and the like.

The more guided your actions are, the greater the possibility of success for your school businesses.

4. Build Management and Structure

In any company conducting big or small business , management is accountable and responsible for its success and failure. It is essential to operate certain matters. A set of individuals pursuing a shared goal must perform together and they might need to manage their personal intentions to obtain that particular objective. For each individual in a position of accountability and responsibility, you must be detailed in defining their official professional experience, their expertise in a specific functional environment or industry, and a record of their accomplishments throughout their careers.

5. Make a Financial Plan

Financial resources evaluate the situations in which capital is obtained, the use of the capital as well as the scheduled payments and stake in economic activities. A financial report is accounting's entire picture. It essentially sums up the company's financial condition. The specific details are important to the management and other interested parties such as investors, shareholders or owners.
