Description:
Hello,
I am trying to open up a daycare in Jacksonville Florida. There are several daycares here in town but I would like to stand out from them all. At this current time we are in the process of requesting help to get this started because we have some great ideas to help this business growth and enhance the community. I am a single mother of 2 my youngest is 1 and oldest 15. There are many of parents that work a Monday-Friday jobs and have no childcare. We would like to provide that for many parents and also most importantly at a reasonable rate. I have done my homework on rates that many daycares charge for an infants when I was looking for care for my daughter and I have to say it was just too much money. I know you have the to pay rent, lights and water and other very important things to keep your business running but I feel a lot of daycares are over charging for infants. A lot of women have to go back to work after giving birth but they are afraid to place their infants in daycare because of the rates. With my daycare I would like to change that and make it affordable for women to place their infants in daycare. I would also like to help teenagers get their volunteer hours by volunteering their time at my daycare. It will not only help them gain volunteer hours towards college but help them develop training and responsibility. I will also offer free VPK and vouchers for parents with low income and before and after care. I will also offer after hours care which is parent that work odd hours such as 3-11 or 12-9. I will do everything I can to help parents so they can work and not worry about who will care for their children. Please consider helping me start my business. I promise I will not let you down.
