KidCentric understands that implementing a corporate child care program is a major undertaking. In order to determine whether a child care program has a high probability of being successful, many factors need to be considered, including employee child care needs and desires, corporate climate and, of course, financial considerations. A Corporate Child Care Feasibility Study will help you address these concerns. Consulting services included within the Feasibility Study are:

• Comparing the Employee Child Care Needs Assessment results with a Management Assessment to determine program options
• Determining child care program size, age groupings and staffing
• Coordinating research around zoning, permits, traffic, and environmental concerns
• Analyzing remodeling current facilities vs. building a new on-site daycare facility
• Consulting with architects, builders, designers, etc to ensure the on-site daycare facility is developmentally appropriate and will comply with all licensing regulations and laws
• Determining appropriate indoor & outdoor equipment
• Planning food service requirements and procedures
• Determining total anticipated start-up and on-going costs

Along with giving our clients an accurate picture of initial and on-going requirements for a child care program before large sums of money are committed, our Corporate Child Care Feasibility Study also lays the groundwork for implementing a program. For example, a staffing plan, equipment list and estimated budget are all required to obtain a license for a child care program. Although a powerful tool in and of itself, the Child Care Feasibility Study should be viewed as a springboard to any future child care program.
