Instructor: Ellis Bishop
June 4, 2012
The Overview of the program is for the families to Locate affordable, quality child daycare, especially for children under the age of five, its a major concern for many parents. The rise in families with two working parents, as well as an increase in the single mom category, has created a need within the child daycare industry to fill the void of non-relative child care.
Toddler Time Learning and Development Center will raise the bar of child care past the misconception of being a paid babysitting service. A more advanced learning curriculum will be offered starting at the earliest ages. Preparation for school will go beyond just learning the A-B-C’s and 1-2-3’s. The company will offer full day and before/after school care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. A company director will be hired to oversee daily operations, along with a full time kitchen cook to comply with local and national food and safety regulations. The company will work closely with the federal Child Care Assistance program, or CCA, to ensure the facility is affordable to all families within the local area.
Toddler Time will be located in the south part of Dallas and will offer programs that cater to the market demographics of that area. Single moms, two income, and low income families will not be at a disadvantage, but rather will be sought out so they can benefit from what Toddler Time will be offering to the children of that community.
Toddler Time propose to provide a sage and developmentally appropriate environment for preschool and school age children. Our focus is to provide a stimulating early care and educational experience which promotes each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Our goal is to support a child’s desire to become a lifelong learner Our Mission Statement is to Help our students reach their highest developing, social and educational
