The owners established their Day Care Center in 1997 and have seen it become one of the most respected child care centers in the area. The teachers do not merely "baby-sit" children, they interact with them so they develop emotionally, intellectually and socially. Parents and families appreciate the quality care and education provided by the teachers and support staff as well as excellent communication concerning their children. This is a safe and secure center with age appropriate toys, equipment and learning activities. Oklahoma is one of the more progressive states in its efforts to ensure the health and safety of children in licensed care. The owners have gone beyond the minimum standards required by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Child Care Division. By meeting additional criteria the Center has obtained Two-Star status. With the increasing number of households in which both parents work full time, this industry has been one of the fastest growing in the U.S. economy. Almost 12 million children in the U.S. are under age 5 — that’s 63% — and in some type of child care arrangement every week. During 2004–2014, the number of children under age 5 is expected to increase at a faster rate than in previous years.

Summary Description
Our client provides consulting services, as well as customized tests and books to schools throughout its home state. The Company prides itself on developing products and services tailored to specific statewide standards and objectives. Consulting services have historically generated the majority of the Company’s annual revenue; however, in recent years, management has seen a significant increase in test sales. This trend is expected to continue as all schools benefit from the Company's tests and books, not just low-performing schools in need of consulting services. Success in the industry is largely driven by the following factors: fast adjustments made to changing regulations, access to highly skilled workforce, a high prior success rate (including completed prior contracts), market research and understanding, a good reputation, understanding government policies and their implications. The Company's success in these areas contributes to a consistent rate of repeat business.

Competition: The Company utilizes a hands-on development program, marketing itself through the many activities. The overall level of competition is low. This industry includes various segments, and establishments tend to specialize in one segment area.

Schools and administrators are increasingly seeking advice from specialist consultants in order to improve their performance.
Market Outlook
Growth and Expansion: Management is expecting growth in all divisions to continue, as state and federal performance standards are becoming more stringent, resulting in more schools in need of assistance. Sales for 2012 are projected to be $1,170,000. To further increase revenues, the current products and services could be tailored to fit educational guidelines in other states; new products and services can be developed and by offering services in other areas such as franchising opportunities or opening satellite offices.
