Kid’#8217’s Community College(r), strives to train its students to become leaders of tomorrow. The college offers a unique curriculum designed specifically for children, as well as first-class childcare services. We offer technology programs, after-school tutoring, arts and crafts, and activities such dance, theatre, and gymnastics all in one place, which is different than other competitors.

Kid’s Community College is a privately held corporation run by its owner, Timothy Bernard Kilpatrick, Sr. Mr. Kilpatrick has 17 years of Executive Management (VP) and Budgeting experience, and extensive experience with budgeting methodologies and strategic planning, including the Balanced Scorecard approach. Our technology component is driven by his advanced computer science degree and interest. A campus director, an industry consultant and a vice president of educational operations will support him in day-to-day operations. All have extensive experience in child care.

American families are now in need of supplemental or dual incomes due to the rising cost of inflation. This trend has created the need for quality child-care services. The Riverview, Hillsborough County’s population growth rate is currently over 14.6%. We can anticipate an increase in market potential in this area. Child care services are highly competitive due to their reputation, pricing, certification, and service. Kid’#8217s Community College will compete well in the market. They offer competitive prices, high-quality care services and leading-edge education programs with college-educated, certified instructors. They also have an excellent reputation with parents, as well as maintaining a good reputation within the community.

This is a daycare business plan for Kid’s Community College(r), which will focus on two subdivisions: ‘Lake St. Charles’ and ‘The Villages of Lake St. Charles,’ which are new upscale community developments within a 2 square mile radius, boasting over 900 new homes. Our target customers include middle-income families with dual incomes who appreciate the high quality education and child-care we provide for their children.

We are opening for business with a initial enrollment of 13 students. We anticipate generating healthy revenues in the first year. This number will nearly triple by Year 3. Our main operating expenses are rent and compensation for highly-qualified personnel at industry standard rates. We hope to have four campuses in the future, but we plan to scale back our growth and finance it with existing cash flow. We expect a net income to begin in our second-year.

We are making a significant investment in the company and seeking an SBA loan to match that amount.

They can also teach advanced science and arts studies at higher education institutions.
