Funding Usage
This is our first year operating under the school where we are housed. Our staff/teachers are all school employees. We do NOT have any extra income to pay for field trips, and other fun activities. We are also moving into 2 larger rooms to expand, and will need to purchase many items to accommodate those rooms- including cribs, toddler cots, rest mats, book shelves, storage shelves, play centers- like kitchens, food stands, etc, craft and art items like paint, markers, crayons, paper, glue. Many toys such as- puzzles, blocks, games, puppets, vehicles, books, stem and sensory items are needed.

Business Plan
Since we are moving to larger rooms within the school building this summer, we expect that once they are properly furnished with all needed furniture, shelves, toys, etc., we will be able to accept a larger enrollment over time. This will be a big blessing for our community since we have a severe shortage of daycares in our area. In addition, since we are housed at the school building, which is a one-story, air-conditioned, K-12 facility, it makes daycare very convenient for our school district families with young kids. We expect to operate at full capacity per the DHS regulations on a continual basis over the long term. This daycare is a necessity in our community and is virtually fail-proof since it is under the umbrella of the Rudd Rockford Marble Rock Community School District (RRMR CSD). But it MUST operate on its own funding because the RRMR CSD is prohibited from using its general fund to cover any funding shortage for the daycare, on a long-term basis.

Self Identified Competition
Our only competitors are in-home daycares who are limited to how many children they can take, AND are supportive of the school daycare. We are a DHS licensed daycare facility housed at school, and offer the convenience of morning drop-offs for parents and their children can stay safely in one building all day without worry of transport to and from school from a home sitter. We also offer age-appropriate educational programs with curriculum you would find in a preschool. The RRMR CSD also offers a preschool program which is just across the hall from the daycare rooms.
