Kid’s Community College® will begin with one location – a newly constructed 3,600 square foot campus in Riverview, FL located near the entrance of the upscale Lake St. Charles subdivision. The campus is in the Lake St. Charles Medical Professional center and will boast separate halls for arts and crafts, theatre and dance, information technology, library and quiet study, tutoring, infant care and a cafeteria. The play area will be adjacent to the campus and will be securely fenced and furnished with appropriate playground equipment and facilities.
Three additional campuses are planned in the rural Tampa marketplace over the next four years. Franchise start-ups will be offered in the Orlando, Miami and Jacksonville marketplace after 2 years of successful operation.
Kid’s Community College® is a privately-held proprietorship owned in majority by its founder and president, Timothy Bernard Kilpatrick, Sr. There are also two silent partners, neither of whom owns more than 10%, but will be active participants in daily operations, management decisions and consulting, though they do not own a financial stake in the company.
Once the operation reaches its anticipated growth and profitability goals, the college plans to franchise and will re-register as a limited liability company or as a corporation, whichever will better suit the future business needs.
Kid’s Community College® offers upscale child care services and an advanced collegiate based curriculum designed for kids ages 4 months to 5 years and 1st through 5th grades. Normal operating hours will be 6:45am to 6:30pm, Monday through Friday – with observance of all major legal holidays. Early drop-off service will be offered as needed.
KCC exists to provide Premier child care services that are aimed at enhancing traditional day care methodologies and integrating extracurricular interests (such as arts and crafts, dance, theatre and gymnastics) into one comprehensive program. Our activity based collegiate curriculum is specifically tailored for children and mirrors the arts and sciences taught at colleges, universities and vocational schools around the nation. We offer state-of-the-art technology programs in leading-edge facilities which help prepare students for the technology age in which they live. Our general and “continuing” education programs help mentor and tutor students through “main school” homework assignments and provide a base of understanding and interaction to ensure success in future educational endeavors. Finally, our developmental programs reinforce basic social, listening, independence and motor skills and prepare students for future related interaction.
All of our learning and child care services employ technology, partnerships, professional services and other activities that support and promote higher learning.
In addition to the extensive services and curriculum offered, each campus will also offer weekend specialty classes for children and adults and planned family activities in the community it serves. KCC will also offer children birthday party hosting services, providing great activities for kids and an easy experience for parents. Activity instructors will be assigned for these events and will lead the activities, ensuring a memorable celebration.
Upon its opening, Kid’s Community College® will offer four basic services in the Lake St. Charles community:
Prior to opening, the college will have a two-month enrollment drive. Based on the market reaction to the drive, these services may be altered to meet the needs of the community. The college will always remain nimble enough to respond to the needs of the community in which it serves.
The child care industry as a whole is saturated. However, based on US Census 2000 data, Hillsborough County Child Care Services provider listings and Hillsborough County building permit records, the city of Riverview, Florida itself is growing and has few licensed child care facilities. Kid’s Community College® intends to fill this local market need.
The Lake St. Charles and ‘The Villages of Lake St. Charles’ subdivisions have 800 and 100 single family homes respectively. There are only two other child care facilities in the neighborhood. One is in the immediate area, a church based facility and the other is 2 miles away, a facility hosted by a local martial arts academy. There are also three family child caregivers listed in the area, but none in the immediate community. Kid’s Community College® will differentiate itself from its local competitors by offering an alternative to these traditional day care approaches.
The Kid’s Community College® market strategy is based on providing an activity based learning environment that is used in many major colleges, universities and vocational centers around the nation. We will offer a community of professional caregivers with the credentials to not only enhance a child’s early social and motor skills, but to also teach them advanced studies in the arts and sciences found at institutions of higher learning.
Kid’s Community College® will be located in a new medical arts plaza, which has already shown a need and interest for child care services. The center currently has a pediatrics office and fitness center with clientele that has inquired about child care services. By forming collaborative partnerships with these businesses and becoming an active voice in the Lake St. Charles community, the college will position itself as the market share leader in child care services, development and educational offerings.
A copy of the Kid’s Community College® informational brochure is attached in an appendix at the end of this document.
The key fulfillment and delivery of services will be provided by the campus director, licensed campus instructors and staff workers. The real core value is the professional strength and industry expertise of the founder and silent partners, staff experience and certifications, education and hard work (in that order).
We will turn to qualified professionals for freelance back-up in tutoring and educational support, which will enhance the core values provided to the clients.
Since the company founder has an extensive Information Technology background, it’s only natural that Kid’s Community College® will employ and maintain the latest technology to enhance its curriculum, office management systems, payment processing and record keeping.
Three additional campuses are planned in the rural Tampa marketplace over the next four years. Franchise start-ups will be offered in the Orlando, Miami and Jacksonville marketplace after 2 years of successful operation.
Kid’s Community College® offers services which are vitally important in today’s fast paced, dual-income world. As an increasing number of families have become dependent on two incomes, the need for quality child care has skyrocketed. According to Florida Business Statistics, 84.6% of licensed child care facilities succeed and make a profit in their 1st year of operation. Nationally, this number is 66.7%.
Kid’s Community College® has a focus on meeting the local community need for child care services within the 10-mile radius of Riverview. Students will be taken in flexibly on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Full-Time Working Couples
The college will establish a significantly large, full-time, regular client base in order to establish the healthy, consistent revenue base which will ensure stability of the business. Customer and community relations are extremely important, as it is imperative to keep the parents pleased in order to keep their children in the college.
After School Care
Another large segment of the college’s business will be in the after school care market. This client base will provide a higher profit for the college since instructor-to-student ratios are higher, and the students require more educational services, which are the primary focus of the college. By offering tutoring, and advanced studies in technology, theatre, arts and sciences, the college will attract these profitable business clients, producing significant supplemental revenues.
Part-Time Workers/Drop-Ins
Part-time workers and Drop-Ins from the fitness center and locals businesses will comprise less than 1% of the revenues. While this market is not a primary focus, sufficient flexibility to handle this market is important to the local ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing strategy.

The target market for Kid’s Community College® is full-time working couples. Referral marketing, direct-mail campaigns and community activity days will be the primary types of marketing strategies utilized. Maintaining and enhancing its reputation with families and in the community will be crucial in obtaining the planned market share growth of this target market.
According to US Census 2000 data, the population growth rate for Hillsborough county is approximately 2%, which is reflected in the market analysis summary. However, the Riverview area of Hillsborough County is experiencing a residential construction boom, yielding well over a 14.6% growth. This is supported by data obtained from the Hillsborough County Building Permits office and is included in the appendix of this plan. This suggests that more families continue to move into the Riverview area, thus becoming potential customers.
In our market analysis, we suggest a modest 6% yearly growth in the number of potential customers.
With inflation continuing to rise each year, the typical American family now requires dual or supplemental incomes. This trend has created a need for quality child care services. We do not see this model changing in the foreseeable future. In fact, based on the growth in the Riverview area, specifically the new Lake St. Charles and Village of Lake St. Charles communities, we expect the need to increase.
Currently there are more family caregivers than licensed child care facilities nationwide. However, this business model can’t keep up with the needs of the growing child care industry. In the family care giver paradigm, space is limited and quality of care is questionable – in many cases viewed as only slightly higher quality than babysitter services.
Kid’s Community College® is in the child care services industry, which includes several models:
Price, service, certification and reputation are critical success factors in the child care services industry. Kid’s Community College® will compete well in our market by offering competitive prices, high-quality child care services, and leading-edge educational programs with certified, college-educated instructors, and by maintaining an excellent reputation with parents and the community in which we serve.
Kid’s Community College® 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 and boast over 900 new homes.
The target customers are dual income, middle-class families who value the quality of education and child care provided for their children ages 4 months to 12 years.
Kid’s Community College’s® value proposition is quite clear and quite easily distinguished from others in the market. We offer uniquely premium child care services, as measured by the curriculum and activities offered, experience and educational level of the instructors, community involvement and community college theme.
We start with a critical competitive edge: there is no competitor in our market that is offering our concept, quality of educational program and child care services. Our educational approach is unique and we have a resource with over 25 years of child care expertise and over 17 years of technology savvy. Our positioning on these points is very hard to match, but only if we maintain the focus in our strategy, marketing, business development, and fulfillment. We should be aware that the tendency to dilute this expertise with bargain shopping could weaken the importance of our competitive edge, but we must continue to bolster our value proposition.
Marketing in the child care industry depends largely on reputation and referral. At Kid’s Community College® that reputation will start within our community bolstered by our involved commitment to those we serve.
1. Advertising –We’ll be developing our core positioning message: “A community college for kids!” to differentiate our service from the competition. We will be using direct mail campaigns, pre-enrollment drives, and local community newspaper advertising to launch the initial campaign.
2. Sales Brochure –Our theme and curriculum will help sell the college to prospective clients.
3. Direct Mail –We will send quarterly direct mail campaigns to the housing developments in a 10-mile radius of the campus. We will also offer monthly calendars for parents and the Lake St. Charles community, noting weekend family days and other open house approaches.
4. Community Involvement –We will be active in the Lake St. Charles community, sponsoring events at the community center for families and residents.
Catered open houses, parent survival days/nights, clubhouse pool parties and weekend movie matinees are but a few approaches we will utilize to reach out to our community. We will also develop and maintain partnerships with local businesses that cater to the needs of children.
Our pre-opening effort will include an application fee waiver, free children ID cards, T-shirts and a community block party sponsored and hosted by Kid’s Community College®.
For families who value the importance of higher education and quality child care services, Kid’s Community College® offers a great alternative to traditional child care services and specific interest based programs. Unlike those programs, KCC combines child care services with a modified collegiate level curriculum, just for kids!
Kid’s Community College® must charge appropriately for the high-end, high-quality educational and care giving services we offer. Our revenue structure has to support our cost structure, so the salaries we pay to assure quality services must be balanced by the revenue we charge.
We will be price competitive in the market we serve; however, we will not subscribe to the “low price leader” concept. The quality of our service will support the prices we charge.
Kid’s Community College® will sell its community college theme, services and offerings, separating itself from traditional daycare-only offerings.
We will be a one-stop shop for child care services, advanced learning and specialized program offerings. We will also be active in the community, building a solid reputation with parents and the community. By succeeding in these areas, we expect to begin seeing an operational net profit in month nine of the 1st year, while increasing enrollment by 32% monthly for the first 8 months and gradually thereafter, until our maximum allowed capacity is reached.
The following table and chart give a run-down on forecasted sales. A detailed spreadsheet is also included in the appendix of this business plan.
For the first eight months of operation, Kid’s Community College® has assumed a conservative enrollment due to the fact that school, aftercare and child care placement has already taken place for the school year and most parents will be comfortable with their current arrangements. Consequently, we expect initial enrollment to be far less than anticipated future year levels.
A sales increase of approximately 32% each month is expected until the start of the next school term, in August. While this forecasted increase seems large by industry standards, it is a good estimate based on initial enrollment. Going into years 2 and 3, we expect that our presence will be known, convenience factor considered and we will then be a considered as a choice in August 2003. In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, 80% and 90% of full enrollment is assumed respectively.
We expect to be open for business on January 1, 2003, starting with an initial enrollment of 13 students:
7 Full-time students at $115 each per week. 6 After-school students at $60 each per week and Drop-in revenue of approximately $100 per month.

As mentioned previously, Kid’s Community College® will form professional alliances with Impact Fitness to offer Drop-In child care services while parents work out. We will also partner with Family Pediatrics to provide referrals of their existing customers. A discounted rate will be offered in both cases.
The Kid’s Community College® website will be the virtual business card and portfolio for the college, as well as its online “home.”
It will showcase the campus, curriculum and activity calendar for the school. It will also provide for an Internet background of the instructors, online projects posted by the students, the campus newsletter and online enrollment.
The Kid’s Community College® website will be simple, yet classy and well designed, but at the same time, in keeping with the latest trends in user interface design. A site that is too flashy, or tries to use too much of the latest technology can be over-done, and may not be supported by all browsers.
The key to the website strategy will be presenting a very well designed and informative Web presence that will market the Kid’s Community College® image, service offerings and community commitment.
The Kid’s Community College® website will embody the mission of the college. It will not only offer visitors the opportunity to “look around” the campus, but it will give them a good idea of the level of quality and service they can come to expect from the college.
Mostly informative in nature, the website will be a digital representation of our physical self.
The Kid’s Community College® website will be developed by the college founder, Timothy B. Kilpatrick, Sr., who has over 17 years of Information Technology experience. Formation Technologies will host the site.
The site will be developed using Macromedia Dreamweaver 4, which will allow for support outside of Mr. Kilpatrick’s involvement. The initial maintenance of the site will be done by Mr. Kilpatrick.
The opening management team of Kid’s Community College® will consist of the founder, a silent partner, a campus director and administrative assistant.
As the college grows, gradual investments in the instructional staff will be made over the next 3 years – beginning in June 2003 or as otherwise dictated by enrollment.
Kid’s Community College® depends on the founder, silent partner, Campus Director and VP of Education Operations for management in the following roles:
Owner/President – Timothy B. Kilpatrick, Sr. The Owner/President will have overall fiscal responsibility, ensuring that the business is financially sound and attains its planned goals.
Industry Consultant – Carolyn Steverson. The Industry Consultant will be relied upon for her industry expertise, providing valuable insight to rules, regulations and governmental programs that may benefit the college.
Campus Director – Candice Harris. The Campus Director will be responsible for daily operations, curriculum oversight and management of all instructors, caregivers and tutors.
VP of Education Operations – Nitika Steverson-Kilpatrick
The present team requires Child Care Development Associate credentials to support our value proposition and preparation for 2004 Florida child care requirements. Currently, the Campus Director and Industry Consultant are the only members of the management team who have these credentials.
The Owner/President and VP of Education Operations will be enrolling in January 2003 to complete the six-month course required to obtain these credentials. Education for these two can’t begin in this area until that time since it is a requirement that the college be open for business before the course work can begin. Long-term, all full-time instructors will be required by the college (not the State) to obtain this credential.
Regarding financial administration, we will retain a strong CPA to help the owner guard cash flow. While the owner is well versed in the worries of cash flow, he also has the sense to listen to reason and deal with constraints, as guided by the CPA.
The following table summarizes our personnel expenditures for the first three years, with compensation increasing from approximately $57K the first year to about $113K in the third. We believe this plan is a fair compromise between fairness and expedience, and meets the commitment of our mission statement.
The yearly figures in the second and third year are assumptions for the Lake St. Charles campus only. The numbers reflect 100% enrollment, a full staff of instructors and a 5% payroll increase each year – which will include tuition reimbursement, pay increases, vacation pay, bonuses and state required certifications.

The Kid’s Community College® financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table as annual assumptions. The monthly assumptions are included in the appendices. From the beginning, it is recognized that total enrollment is critical, which is a factor that must be influenced immediately. Interest rates, tax rates, and personnel burden are based on conservative assumptions.
The most important underlying assumption is that there is a strong need for the business in the Lake St. Charles community.

Current Interest Rate | 7.00% | 7.00% | 7.00% |

The following benchmark chart indicates the key financial indicators for the first three years. We foresee a gradual growth in sales (enrollment) and operating expenses into the second and third year.
It is projected that the raw gross margin will remain stable for the first three years since expenses are relatively indirect in the service based course work industry. Operating expenses increase gradually as enrollment increases.
Enrollment is very important. We must maintain an average weekly enrollment of 34 students for fixed cost coverage.
For the break-even analysis, start-up monthly running costs assumptions are shown in the the table below, including a three person payroll, rent, utilities and an estimation of other running costs. Payroll, at median market averages, was presented previously in the Personnel table.
Based on these assumptions, the chart below shows the enrollment of students per month needed to break-even. This represents about 46% of our allowable monthly enrollment based on state and county course work guidelines.

Our projected profit and loss is shown on the following table, with sales increasing from the first year to the third.
In years two and three, we are projecting full enrollment regarding cost of sales and gross margin. The investment return in these years supports the goal of opening another campus at the end of the second year and begin the franchise offering by the end of the third year. Profit from the additional campuses and income from franchising are not included in this business plan.
The detailed monthly projections are included in the appendices.

To start off let’s define what a business plan is. As we know a business plan is a well written document that shows a good bird’s eye view of your future business . Whether your business is on child care, you must always know that there are certain risks to any business without a thought out business plan. A child care business plan is basically what it sounds like. A business plan that caters to your needs of making a business in child care. Your business plan is important as it outlines the whole business you plan on doing, the goal, the objectives and the entire view of how you want your business to be years from today. A child care business plan is a document that shows you your entire outcome of how you picture your business to be. Of course, rather than simply depending on your business plan, you must also have a back up plan .
You are almost there . All you need now is just a good start on how to write your own business plan that caters to your business. A child care business plan should not be too difficult to understand nor too vague that you may get yourself too confused. Let’s begin.
Before you do anything like making a business plan, the best option to do first is to do your research . Do your research about your future business. Doing research about your business will not only help you understand what you plan on doing, but it would also help if you know every single detail about it. Doing a business plan without having the slightest idea as to what you are doing or what you plan on doing is simply like a blind person leading another blind person. Too much risk.
Next thing to do is to write out your vision and mission statement . When you write your vision statement make sure that you are writing what you want to see in your business. The goals, the step by step process. Your vision statement should be a part of your business plan as this helps you see what you wish to see when you begin with your business. The same goes for your mission statement. The difference between your mission statement and your vision statement is your vision gives you a point of view. Your mission statement should be the action in which you tell your clients as to what your business is about.
The third on your list should be understanding what your business is about. For you to be able to get a good view of it, you must define what you offer. Define what you want to do with your business in your business plan. Describe in full detail the things that you offer, the things that you can do and the other things that can help you with growing your business. There are a lot of competitions out there, how will you do it? How will you make your business shine? These are just a few sample questions you can ask yourself when you write your business description in your business plan.
It goes without saying that the right location for a business also matters. That whether or not your business is a small one or a large one, your location should also be important. Where you place your business is crucial as it should not be difficult for customers to look for your business. Since you plan out a child care business, think of the best locations that would cater to this type of need. Remember the better the location, the better for your business. You can also use the idea for flyers when you start your business.
Last but not the least, plan for everything you have written to make it come true. Of course there are a lot of paperwork that you have to go through to start. But that is part of the business. Plan in detail and do it step by step. That way the lesser the risks, the better.
A business plan is like an outline for you. A road map to attaining the goal that is your business. A business plan’s purpose is to guide you to the right direction when it comes to handling businesses. A business without a plan is set to fail.
There are a lot of things that could be avoided when you plan on writing a business plan. One of which is the risk. Do not forget to write up a back up plan. It is understandable that writing out back up plans may let you think that your first and original plan would fail, but there is no harm in being prepared.
It goes without saying, we are not always able to avoid risks when doing businesses, but being able to write a business plan will help lessen the risks.
Remember, when you plan out a business for yourself or for someone, whether it be a small business or a large business, the best thing you can do is to write yourself a business plan.
