Your New Preschool Is Needed Now More than Ever in Your Community
Today, the demand for early childhood learning opportunities combined with quality childcare has increased dramatically. Right now, nearly 70% of young mothers participate in the workforce, requiring more families to seek outside childcare, and as more households become dual income, that number will rise. In fact, ours is a recession-resistant industry that has not only seen incredible growth but continues to be an important economic driver, with revenue of over $47B.
Opening a Children’s Lighthouse preschool and childcare center will not only put you at the forefront of a robust industry, but will also give you the potential to strike a better balance between work and life. Because you’ll be managing your school at a high level and relying on a School Director to oversee day-to-day operations, once your school is established, you just might find yourself with more free time for family, friends, hobbies, and more — and who doesn’t want that?
