i like your idea....it would certainly be very profitable..just take care u have least competition...having the place well lighted and if the place smells nice...it would be excellent for your business.this way if the child is left with u and then taken home,the atmosphere outside will disturb him and he will ask 4 more time at your place.this kinda business definitely spreads by word of mouth.thanks for asking....hope this helps
It sounds like a great idea. As far as whether or not it would be profitable here are some things to consider. Rent in a mall is very high. Most states have laws requiriing you to have so many adults for each child. Without knowing how many children you will have each day it would be tough to tell how many employees you would need, you would need to schedule extra to be on the safe side. If your state s ratio is 1 cartaker per 5 children you will need to make sure that 5 children bring in enough to pay that care taker, benefits and payroll taxes and also leave enough for overhead and profit.If you can make the numbers work out it sounds like a great idea and something you d definitely want to franchise in every decent sized mall in the country.
It could be but usually malls are high rent. If you can keep that down I am sure you could build a decent business plan to see how it would work out. Just be aware you are going to need a sure fire means of tracking parent with child and being able to contact the parent in case of an emergency while in your care. Good luck and make sure you think all the problems through. Hope this helps get you started
