  1. Starting a Non-Profit Daycare Center for Single Parents There aren’t any affordable daycare centers for single parents.

  2. There aren’t enough affordable daycare centers. • Lets just face it there aren’t enough affordable daycare centers for single parents. • On average daycares in Northern Alabama can cost any where from Average weekly child care rates for full-time enrollees in Alabama’s child care facilities vary from just under $103 for children under 2½ years of age, to $98 for children aged 2½-5 years, to $94 for children of school age. As has been seen in prior survey years, child care costs decline with the age of the child, with weekly rates for children of school age only around 91 percent of those for children under 2½ years of age. (Duke, M.L. & Petee,T 2009) • Many single parents are struggling to put their child/children through daycare, but trying to find the right one that they can afford is very hard. • The average fee for full-time care ranges from approximately $3,900 to $15,000 a year, depending on where the family lives, the type of care, and the age of the child. (Blank, H. & Schulman, K, 2013)

  3. The average salary of a single parent. It is estimated that low-income families often pay more than 30% of their take-home pay for child care.(http://www.dcvistudios.com/) The State and Federal Government funds can only pay for a certain number of children and when that maximum is reached a waiting list is formed. The waiting list is updated every 6 months and at the time funds become available people will be notified in the order in which they applied. (http://www.dcvistudios.com/) • Single parents don’t make enough to begin with. • Minium wage begins at 7.25 for single parents and it goes just a little each year. • The average cashier makes about 8.92 an hour. And that’s just not enough to pay for daycare and keep a roof over your family’s head.

  4. Location is everything ! • Finding the right location to start a non-profit daycare center starts with knowing your community. • We want to have a safe place where kids parents will not have to worry about while they are working. • We want a daycare center that will have the community’s approval. • We are looking to start a daycare center in a low crime rate communities. • A daycare center where it isn’t a great distance to drive. Having the right location and building for the daycare centers is an important factor.

  5. How can the community can help. • The community will be a big help in the process of helping the day care center. • We want to get the community involved by volunteering their time with the children. • It will be ran by parents and licensed teachers. • This non profit daycare center will also give back to the community as well. • Having fund raisers and receiving donations from the community would help keep the daycare center running. • Getting some government assistance with some of the expenses of the daycare center.

  6. WHY? • This daycare center will be fun for each and every child that enters the center. • Each classroom will have a different teaching perspective so that each child can learn how to grow and prepare themselves for school and the society. • There is also after school care for the older kids. • This non-profit daycare center will be for children ranging from infants to age 12. • It will be a 24 hour daycare center for the working single parent that work the late shift. There are not enough affordable daycare single parents. Most single parents have to work odd hours just make enough to care for their families. Most daycare centers in Northern Alabama are closed after 6pm, but most single parents work third shift and can not find a reliable babysitter or daycare center that will assist with care of their child/children.

  7. Will this work? Yes, it can because it will be what the community needs and what single parents are looking for. I as a single parent of three believe that this non-profit daycare center will be profitable and be successful business, because there are two many single parents that are having a hard time finding the right daycare they can afford for the kids. It can make it if the community stay involved.
