...help parents pay for the services as well as the lack quality of services. Another reason is due to the time frames that daycares are open is not parallel to the time-frames parents are working at the moment. Because of these reasons daycares are not seeing the growth or sustenance of revenue as they were years ago, parents are looking at other options of child care, and a lot of daycares have evolved into low quality standards. The National Bureau of Economic Research states how “it is critical to develop an understanding of the way the child care market operates and how it relates to quality. The issue is important because the average quality of center-based child care provided in the United States is thought to be mediocre, especially compared to the quality of care provided in other developed countries” (NBER, 2002). One well-known day care/early childhood education provider is La Petite Academy. La Petite Academy has been around since 1968 and has over 500 locations in the country. The tuition has been known to be pricey which usually results in a variety of people overlooking the quality of the experience a child gains here and, in my opinion, their mission statement doesn’t make things any better.

...including sign language. I plan to have these daycares strategically placed in areas where there are little to no child care facilities available. This is to ensure that my business is almost an only option and once the customers see the quality of care provided, they will be highly satisfied. I chose not to franchise my company because I want to be the sole proprietor. I want to be responsible for the type of care being given to each child who enrolls in my facilities and I plan to be very hands on with each building I open. Employees within my organization should have behaviors that exemplify love and education. The main focus point is to teach children and have them in an environment that will feel safe and that they can grow in. I expect all of my employees to be honest and sincere in their dealings with the children and parents that we service. The structure of my company begins with me who at this moment have over 11 years of experience in the field of childcare. I will be sure that any employee who has direct contact with the children exemplifies a certain degree of patience, professionalism, and have prior experience in childcare. My facilities will be kid friendly and mother approved complete with the latest educational toys, equipment, and curriculums. I will chose color schemes that are appealing to the eyes and that are accompanied by visuals which promote healthy growth and development.
