Ok, so many of you offered a lot of good advice when I asked about a business proposal (THANKS btw)...well, I looked into many avenues and I found Bright Horizons to be a great resource. Here's what it is.
Bright Horizons is company that works with businesses to set up employer-sponsored childcare programs (private or public). They come in, do the research, make the plan, work with your company, and figure out all the things your company will need to implement affordable childcare on or off campus. They do small programs to large, they even set up in-home schools for celebrities. Anyway, I contacted them because they are the pros any company considering in-house childcare would likely listen to. I'm not in any place to run a facility myself- too crazy right now BUT they establish everything according to a company's style and vibe...it's not cookie cutter. I've seen many of their facilities in Colorado...They work with the business philosophy to establish an NAEYC accredited program. They even do Montessori if the community is interested in that design. Anyway, I'm trying to bring the company I have in mind together with Bright Horizons. I'll keep you posted if we make any progress...
Oh, and anyone considering employee-sponsored childcare, check these guys out.
