Finding the right location for your daycare is important as it will ultimately affect the sustainability of your business. You should try to source and visit as many locations as possible. Assess the location based not only on the price of rental but accompanying amenities as well. If possible, get a real estate agent to help you. Consider the following factors when making your decision.

 

Capacity of daycare centre 

How many children can your daycare facility comfortably accommodate? Is it sufficient to breakeven? 

 

Flexibility of daycare 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 daycare centre

Is the venue suitable for a daycare? A daycare located along a busy street might be too noisy for the children during naptime.

 

Proximity / Accessibility of daycare centre

Are there any amenities such as a park or mall where you can bring the children?

 

Parking facilities at/near daycare centre

Are there sufficient parking spaces 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 daycare.
