Established in 2003 as a part-time preschool program. Shortly thereafter a drop off program was added along with Saturday nights to cater to ‘parents night out.’

By 2018, it became a full-time child care center.

The center provides a variety of programs whose primary goal is to encourage exploration of the world while developing skills and a love of learning.

All of its programs are designed to emphasize the development of each child as an individual.

The center builds on the child’s strengths and provide them with the opportunity to experience success through appropriate goal setting.
There are a number of centers that cater to the same preschool children but many of them are characterized as ‘Big Box’ type establishments. What sets this center apart is that it is family-focused, concentrating on the developmental needs of each child with parental input in mind.

‘Caring, loving and involved,’ are frequent words from parents’ testimonials from yelp!, where it has a 4.5 out of 5 star comprehensive rating.

A greater marketing emphasis would, in the owner’s mind, provide an opportunity for further growth.

However, for some, these might simply be reasons to attempt to conceal the reality of transforming demographics, increased competitors, current reduction in incomes, or a range of various other factors. This is why it is very vital that you not count absolutely on a seller's word, yet instead, make use of the vendor's response combined with your overall due diligence.

One vital thing to take into consideration is the area of the business. Is it in a very trafficked shopping mall, or is it concealed from the main road? Obviously, the more people that see the business regularly, the better the possibility to build a returning consumer base. A final thought is the basic area demographics. Is the business located in a densely populated city, or is it situated on the outside border of town? Just how might the neighborhood mean house earnings influence future earnings potential?
