Finding the right
location for your day care is important as it will ultimately affect the sustainability of your business. You should
try to source and visit as many locations as possible and assess the location based not only on the rental but accompanying
amenities as well. Consider the following factors when making your decision:
Capacity of
day care centre
How many children can your daycare facility comfortably accommodate? Is it sufficient
to breakeven?
Flexibility of day care centre
Does all the room
sizes meet your needs? If not, are you able to easily combine or convert the rooms to suit your needs? Are you restricted
by clauses in the contract which prevents you from making small modifications to the premises?
Ambience
of day care centre
Is the venue suitable for a day care? A day care located along a busy street might
be too noisy for the children during naptime.
Proximity / Accessibility of day care centre
Are there any amenities such as a park or mall where you can bring the children?
Parking facilities at/near day care centre
Are there sufficient parking spaces near
your day care for parents to park so that they can pick up and drop off their children easily? This is especially important
for locations which are only accessible by car.
Transportation considerations
Is
the location convenient and easily accessible by public transport or is it far from the bus station and is only accessible
by car? This will impact the type of parents that you will attract to your day care.
