Questions About Opening A Center

[Bulldogchick]

Hello All,

I'm New here. I'm looking to open a daycare center, not from home. I am thinking about seeking to care for 30 children. I have a few questions because I'm terrible with trying to come up with financials and have no idea where to start for a cost analysis. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm in New Jersey.

1. How off is your center at full capacity?
2. Do you have a wait list?
3. How often does it take to fill an open spot?
4. Finally, where do I start with coming up with a cost analysis/ business plan financials? What should i include?

Thank you for all your help in advance.
