Daycare - with NEP Curriculum + Corporate Tie-ups

Facility # 12 for parents

In today's world, most parents are working professionals. This can make it challenging to dedicate time to childcare while also working. Daycare for a child is a common dilemma for parents who want to ensure their children are cared for without worrying about it themselves. Daycare services in India have become a profitable business while providing excellent care to the children and peace of mind to the parents.

A daycare is where parents can leave their children before going to work and pick them up after their workday has ended. The business owner ensures that the children are taken care of and, in the process, educates and engages them in fun activities.

Such services include looking after the children by ensuring a proper diet and sleep schedule. Furthermore, owners generally open such a childcare business at home to give children a homely feeling when they are not with their parents. The process includes redecorating the area to include child-friendly designs and characters.

The daycare delivers more profitability to a preschool as very few preschools offer 12 hours to busy parents. Additionally, daycare admissions happen throughout the year. Very few daycares also have an hour-by-hour curriculum.

We will be bringing in corporate tie-ups. These facilities may be open to children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children, and may offer various services such as full-time care, part-time care, after-school care, and drop-in care.

Daycare is revenue-stream #12 for school owners.

Pricing strategy based on rock-solid local research

Preschool Is Like A Retail Outlet

We have a comprehensive Market Research Division, which will look at what is it that parents can pay as fees in a locality For this, we will conduct neighbourhood research to understand factors like the prevailing rental value of the apartments and villas. The cars people own to determine lifestyle index.

Do a competitive audit of the number of Preschools and daycares which are already existing in that geography and what is the fee structure, and how good is their infrastructure. The detailed SWOT analysis will include an audit of their customer touchpoints, social media strength and digital presence.

Which are the kids' stores available in the neighbourhood? The number of children's hospitals,

Paediatric centres and an audit of the gated communities in and around the locality. This will give us an idea of the density of the population and the need for a new preschool in that area.

Based on the detailed audit, we will create a pricing strategy focused on market operative pricing. This means that we will assess what the existing preschools are charging, and we will adopt a market penetration pricing strategy which will be highly helpful to parents and the preschool business owners.

For the parents, they get global quality education at a reasonable price.

And for preschool, this will translate into more admissions, leading to a faster breakeven.
