Description:
Our childcare preschool is located in a small community that is in need of a high quality low rate educational center. We live in a low income community. All families, not just those who can afford expensive programs, deserve to have high quality care and education for their children. We are that center. We have been in business since January 2008 and are steadily growing. We have over twenty years of education and experince in the field of child development. We are committed to providing the best education anyone can provide for young children. Our goals are to make sure each child and their family are given the individual attention and tools to build a strong foundation to succeed at home and with their future educational expeiences. We are just now beginning to make a small profit. The majority of the money we take in goes toward supplies, upkeep, and wages. We are unable to make the kinds of big changes necessary to upgrade and expand our center. Having a financial backing would allow us to hire more educated, experienced employees at above minimum wages. With more employees we would be able to accept more children into our program. Which in turn raises our profits. We are the go to center in our community. However, we are at this time unable to accept all the families waiting in line. We are well known in our community for our high quality education and care. We want to expand the word beyond those boundries to let everyone know we are the best there is.
