Kids Garden AVL | Application Preview
Kids Garden AVL is applying for government grants to sustain its operations and provide quality childcare services in Buncombe County and nearby areas. The funding will be used to obtain necessary licensing for the childcare business, retain employees by offering a living wage, and accept vouchers to increase accessibility for families.
The application emphasizes the unique role Kids Garden plays in addressing childcare gaps, highlighting the success of similar centers in other states that are licensed. Currently, there are no other drop-in childcare facilities within a 59-mile radius, and local preschools do not offer the same level of flexibility and support. Families frequently express gratitude for the services provided, which allow them to drop off their children as needed. The grant would enable Kids Garden to enhance its offerings and better serve the community.

Business Plan
I would use the grant to get my childcare business licensed. I would use it to retain employees and compensate them with a living wage. If I was licensed I would be able to accept vouchers to families so that more people could use our services. Kids Garden is a wonderful childcare business model that fills a gap in childcare needs. The other Kids Garden centers in other states do well and are licensed. I am unable to get licensed due to the lack of resources from funding needs.

Self Identified Competition
There isn’t any other drop in facilities within 59 miles of Kids Garden Asheville. Other competitors would be local preschools but we offer so much more. We fill the gap in childcare needs offering flexibility to our families. We hear all the time how grateful families are to have this type of support in the community. They are able to drop off whenever need.
