Their advanced degree (and interest) is the driving force behind our technology
component. With inflation continuing to rise each year, the typical Pilipino family
now requires dual or supplemental incomes. This trend has created a need for quality
child care services. The population growth rate in the Cavite area is now over 14.6%,
leading us to anticipate expanding market potential for this industry in our local area.
Price, service, certification and reputation are critical success factors in the child
care services industry. Kid's Playhouse 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 we serve.

compensation at industry standard rates for our highly-
qualified personnel, improved for our purposes during the
start-up period. We would like to grow into three center,

financed from existing cash flow as we go. We anticipate a net
