Why are all the private own daycares going out of buisness? -

Ive worked at a daycare for 7years and all of a sudden parents stopped enrolling their kids. Many have left to send their kids to a headstart program. The daycare i work for provides pre-school but besides my daycare the other local private daycares are forced to shut down. What is it about headstart that gets the parents running in their direction

Headstart is a government preschool/daycare program that is free in most areas for many who have a moderate income, maybe on a sliding scale based on income in some areas. It would be much less expensive than a private preschool. With this economy, people have had to cut back expenses.The private preschool programs in my area are superior to the Headstart programs, but they are still good programs.

people lose their jobsthey can t afford daycareor they have a second child, which unless they make a ton or money, they can t afford daycare for 2 kidsthey stay at home with their kidsthe daycare centers don t have enough customers to stay in businessheadstart is probably part of local school district and therefore costs less than day care or is free

Headstart is not for profit, your daycare is. Also, I m pretty sure headstart is also a government program, meaning that low-income families probably are receiving it for free under our new president. Why work for something when it could be given to you?

Too much competition. You don t need a license to take-in 4 kids at a private home. Many people are now offering that service. Since they don t have much overhead to pay, they can charge less.You could consider doing the same thing at your own home.

because of the current economic climate, there are less jobs, which means that alot of mums are now staying home.this way they dont need to send there kids cant afford the expenses of day care
