Starting a Non-Profit Daycare Center for Single Parents
There aren’t any affordable daycare centers for single parents.
There aren’t enough affordable daycare centers.
Lets just face it there aren’t enough affordable daycare centers for single parents.
On average daycares in Northern Alabama can cost any where from Average weekly child care rates for full-time enrollees in Alabama’s child care facilities vary from just under $103 for children under 2½ years of age, to $98 for children aged 2½-5 years, to $94 for children of school age. As has been seen in prior survey years, child care costs decline with the age of the child, with weekly rates for children of school age only around 91 percent of those for children under 2½ years of age. (Duke, M.L. & Petee,T 2009)
Many single parents are struggling to put their child/children through daycare, but trying to find the right one that they can afford is very hard.
The average fee for full-time care ranges from approximately $3,900 to $15,000 a year, depending on where the family lives, the type of care, and the age of the child. (Blank, H. & Schulman, K, 2013)
The average salary of a single parent.
Single parents don’t make enough to begin with.
Minium wage begins at 7.25 for single parents and it goes just a little each year.
The average cashier makes about 8.92 an hour. And that’s just not enough to pay for daycare and keep a roof over your family’s head.
It is estimated that low-income families often pay more than 30% of their take-home pay for child care.(http://www.dcvistudios.com/)
The State and Federal Government funds can only pay for a certain number of children and when that maximum is reached a waiting list is formed. The waiting list is updated every 6 months and at the time funds become available people will be notified in the order in which they applied. (http://www.dcvistudios.com/)
Location is everything !
Finding the right location to start a non-profit daycare center starts with knowing your community.
We want to have a safe place where kids parents will not have to worry about while they are working.
We want a daycare center that will have the community’s approval.
We are looking to start a daycare center in a low crime rate communities.
A daycare center where it isn’t a great distance to drive.
Having the right location and building for the daycare centers is an important factor.
How can the community can help.
The community will be a big help in the process of helping the day care center.
We want to get the community involved by volunteering their time with the children.
It will be ran by parents and licensed teachers.
This non profit daycare center will also give back to the community as well.
Having fund raisers and receiving donations from the community would help keep the daycare center running.
Getting some government assistance with some of the expenses of the daycare center.
WHY?
This daycare center will be fun for each and every child that enter.

1. Space Camp 2012
A commitment for parents and students
May 10 2012
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
I welcome you on board the adventure to send Cashmere students to Space Camp in
2012. I would like to outline some of the expectations and requirements for this trip
organised by Cashmere High School.
The trip will require a ratio of one teacher to approximately 8 students. It will be
possible for parents to go too, but these would have to be additional to any staff
and be self funded.
The costs for the teachers who are giving up their time to coordinate and lead the
trip are paid by the students taking part in the trip.
Money will be paid into a school account on a monthly basis, regardless of
whether families are involved in fund raising or not. The interest that this money
earns is used as much as possible to pay the teacher’s airfares so that the actual
costs to students are minimised. An amount of $300 per month starting in July
2010 will provide $5100 by November 2009. At least $5000 must be with the
school by Nov 2011 to ensure a place on the trip. It is possible to set up an
automatic payment. The money for the actual Space Camp in Alabama has to be
paid 6 months in advance in order to secure the booking, and airfares are required
2 months in advance. Refunds are available on a reducing scale the closer to the
camp date they are requested.
It is very important that families make a firm commitment to the trip as the cost is
dependant on the number of students going. If students pull out a few months
before the event then the costs go up for everybody left. However, I realise that it
is possible for circumstances to change over this time period, and ask that you
inform us as soon as possible if there is a possibility that your child will have to
pull out.
Selection
The maximum number possible on the trip will be 24 students. If more than this wish
to go a selection process will be undertaken. Firstly their form must be in on time, the
student must be aged between 15 and 18 in April 2012, and they must currently be in
good health. Secondly, teachers and Heads of School will be consulted to see if the
student’s behaviour and levels of personal responsibility are deemed appropriate for
such a trip. Thirdly students showing a strong interest in Science and/or Space will be
selected. If the list of students is still above 24 then a ballot will be held and the
remainder put on a waiting list. The first payment of $300 will then secure a place,
along with a certificate of good health which must be signed by both a parent and a
doctor (this is a requirement of the Space Camp programme). Otherwise the next
student on the list will be asked to join the group.
2. Actual Costs
The total cost is approximately $7100. It must be noted that fluctuating exchange rates
and inflation may alter this.
This estimate does not include any spending money, some meals while travelling and
passport applications. It is recommended that spending money be limited to an
amount between $500 and $1000.
Fund raising
If a group of parents wish to organise raising funds then support will be provided by
teachers at the school. However, the ideas and organisation will come from the
parents.
I do hope you are keen to be a part of this adventure, and if so will you fill in the form
below and return it to Mr Tuaine, Mr Wilkenson or Mrs Merchant.
Regards
Bob Tuaine Jenny Merchant Tom Wilkenson
