Day Care Academy In Chicago For Sale

Business description

Near the Chicago Loop. This center is a new start-up center and the first of a string of early childhood learning centers whose curriculum, environment, and diet will, from the onset, revolve around a "green philosophy". Children will leave with self-confidence and learned eco-friendly habits. ? ? At the core of each early childhood educational center will be a kitchen that will prepare daily, home-cooked meals made from scratch. The meals will be comprised of locally and sustainable grown food, providing the children with a healthy and nutritious diet. The children will participate in gardening projects, composting, and the recycling of some of the foods that they assist in cooking. The center will apply for LEED certification and be built out using the latest in "green" technology. The center will offer its environment as a "laboratory" with the results being followed by early childhood educators from local universities. The center will be priced 10- 15 % lower than local competitors. Seeing a need to diversify the student body to include children from all levels of society, regardless of economic, social, or ethnic background, a 501 (c) 3, was created. The Foundation will provide a vehicle for Family Foundations, Corporations, or individuals to sponsor scholarships for needy children to attend any of the Academy locations. An equity injection starting from as little as $100,000 will receive a 5% equity stake (or proportion thereof), for every $100,000 directly injected in the Academy. Because this is an LLC, its expected profits will be distributed to the partners, after a 50% holdback for future expansion. Profits will be paid on a yearly basis. The first operational year returns (after start up period) are anticipated to be 5-8%, with subsequent yearly returns projected to be around 10% (after 50% holdback).
