Introduction to SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME support program.1 Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into consideration other important aspects including financial aspects, niche marketing, technology up gradation and human resource development. SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical instruments, urban transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDAs areas of operation. Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better way. This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make wellinformed investment decisions.

Day Care Center

PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT

The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, production, finance and business management.

PROJECT PROFILE

The project is about starting a Day Care Center for infants and children of age up to 5. The proposed plan is to offer programs ranging from Infant Care for infants of more than 6 months of age to Kindergarten for children of age up to 5 years. 2.1 Project Brief

The study provides information regarding investment opportunity for setting up a Day Care Center in Quetta city. However, such a project could also be feasible for other metropolitan cities of Pakistan i.e. Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Karachi and smaller cities but initial market research/survey would be required to identify its need. 2.2 Opportunity Rationale

Day Care Center is the place where learning and fun become one and the primary place where young children learn social and pre-academic skills necessary for success in school. The Day Cares infant program is centered on the natural curiosity and energy of very young children. Childcare programs and pre-school curriculums integrate a wealth of intriguing and engaging learning activities that stimulate brain development in children. The fast paced life of the cities is significantly influencing the life style of its inhabitants. Economic pressures are compelling both parents to work towards achieving and sustaining quality life standards. This has further added to complexity and competition of any Metropolitan city. As a result of these social changes, the trend of sending children to Day Care Centers at a much earlier age is gaining rapid grounds. The workingwomen will prefer a day care center to a nanny at home because a day care center can provide proper grooming and prepare the youngsters for admission at school in coming years. Also, the whole institution is responsible for the child rather than a single nanny. Parents are very much worried as there are no institutes, which can help children blossom intellectually and emotionally, while having a lot of purposeful fun along the way. 2.3 Market Entry Timing

In Quetta, the admissions in all the educational institutions start right after the winter vacations. Therefore it is recommended that the admissions/registrations of the Day Care center should be started at least one week prior to the start of regular schools/colleges to make the process easy both for parents and centers registration staff. This will also ensure that students complete this program at appropriate time for getting further admission in regular schools.

Proposed Business Legal Status

It is recommended that this project should be started as sole proprietorship or partnership as this does not involve heavy investment. Moreover, less complications and costs are involved in forming, administering and running the sole proprietorship or partnership business. The tax rates applicable for sole proprietorship are lower than private or public limited. 2.5 Project Capacity and Rationale

It is proposed that infants of more than 6 months of age to children of 5 years of age be enroll in the center. There are five (5) proposed classrooms for the Day Care Center. Two class rooms would be for Infant Care program, one for two year olds, one for Play Group for children of age between 3-4 years, and one for Kindergarten for children of age 4-5 years old. Each class room would have capacity of 22 students. The project would have total capacity of 110 students. However, this capacity may not be achieved in the initial years of operations.

Programs Offered Infant Care Program Two Year Olds Play Group (3-4 years old) Kindergarten (4-5 years old) Total 2.6

The total investment required for this project is 2.2 m. The investment mainly covers capital costs of 1.17 m and working capital requirement of 1.07 m. 2.7 Proposed Product Mix

The Day Care Center will offer different programs for different age groups. The details are described as follows: 2.7.1 Infant Care Program The infant care program is centered on the natural curiosity and energy of very young children. It will provide infants with lots of attention, a variety of appropriate activities, abundant conversation and nurturing to make the world for a baby fun, interesting, safe and loving. Children will be with his/her caregiver (nanny) in one of the centers special nook areas where he/she will experience an array of experiences especially designed to meet an infant's needs.

Pre-feasibility Study

Day Care Center

Sleeping Nook

This would be the area of the classroom where infants sleep during the day. As infants are all on different schedules, this nook is used throughout the day for sleeping infants.
Feeding Nook

The Feeding Nook would be used for baby feeding.

Infants would be able to practice their motor skills such as rolling over, sitting up, crawling, puling up, climbing and walking in the Movement Nook.
Curiosity Nook

Infants would be given opportunities for multi-sensory plays where Infants would begin to explore different materials and begin to understand them.
Diapering Nook

The Diapering Nook will be used for diaper changing. Extra clothing and materials would also be stored. It would also offer opportunities to interact individually with babies.
Outdoor Play Nook

When weather conditions would be appropriate, this open air play nook would provide a safe and interesting place for babies.
Comfort Nook

The Comfort Nook would be soft and cozy place that would provide a sense of security and a place to rest before babies move on to a more active nook. 2.7.2 For two-year-olds: The curriculum for two-year-olds will provide an enriching environment with activities that are designed to enhance child's total development in a quality early childhood education environment. The daycare curriculum will allow two-year-old children to spend busy and funfilled days engaged in activities that would promote learning. Teachers assigned for the two-year-old student group will be trained to incorporate appropriate literature, educational materials, music, and other specially selected materials and resources, all with the goal of enhancing the rapid changes that occur in a child's brain development in the earliest stages of life. 2.7.3 Play Group (3 and young 4-years-old) Studies have found that learning improves when children are engaged in enjoyable and meaningful activities. That is why every curriculum will include a variety of intriguing activities that can stimulate early brain development with a focus on creative plays. This will be a better place where learning with activities will be focused.

2.7.4 Kindergarten (4 and young 5-year-olds) Kindergarten Program will be filled with fun and educational activities that will be carefully designed to help bring out a child's natural curiosity and encourage a lifelong joy of learning. The curriculum will use themed learning units that incorporate reading, writing, math, science, social studies and more. 2.8 Recommended Project Parameters Human Resource 11 Financial Summary Project Cost 2.2 million 2.9 IRR 15% Payback Period 3.15 Location Areas within Quetta city.

Capacity 110 students

Proposed Location

It is recommended that the proposed project be installed in such area of Quetta city so that it could become easily accessible for parents. 2.10 Key Success Factors/Practical Tips for Success

The location plays an important role so that the facility/center should easily be accessible by parents. The center should target mainly workingwomen and business community because they are the ones who are potential customers for such a facility. The teacher student ratio should be kept at a well-researched optimum level as indicated in this report. Parents are always conscious about the well being and safety of their children at schools, therefore, it is suggested that the centers environment should ensure security and should be free from any apparent hazard. The center should preferably not be located in a highly populated location or at a location with high traffic hazards. Continuous teacher parent interactions should also be a regular feature of the centers day care and education system. It is suggested that visual and other teaching tools should be used. The center should be started at least one week prior to the ending of winter vacations so that proper promotion and management of admissions are conducted. A well-trained/experienced head/principal of the center would teach the new staff and well manage the daily affairs of center. The role of the owner should be in line with the mission of the day care center to provide guidelines and facilities to children at the grass root level and spread standardized and costeffective education far across the country.

Regulations

No formal registration is required for the Day Care Center with the Education Directorate of Schools2. However, if any expansion is planned, the schools are required to get registered with Provincial Education Department in the office of Education Directorate of Schools. The application is to be submitted on a prescribed form which can be obtained from the department. 2.12 Strategic Recommendations

It is recommended that the proposed project should be established in a rented building to reduce the project cost.

CURRENT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

Some of the evolving trends of Quetta city residents are associated with life that is becoming busy, and hectic. People find it difficult to provide better training/attention to their children at home as they have to go to offices/work. As most of the people have started living separately (opposed to the joint-family system) therefore, many of them face financial problems and women have started working in order to support their families. A facility that could provide day care during office/working hours would make their hectic lives easy.
Avoidance of Responsibilities

Todays parents could not find enough time to give proper attention to their children because of their daily busy and hectic office/working routines. Most of the high income family women are involved in other social and extra curricular activities such as clubs and gymnasiums therefore, find it very difficult to take out time for their children. A day care facility would give ease of mind to such parents.
Day Care Center Provide Better Training

Today many people are of the view that day care centers and pre-schools can provide children better training and education because they have trained and educated staff, better training equipment, and toys. This is why they have decided to start early schooling for their children. 3.1 Current Scenario in Quetta City

In Quetta City, no private Day Care Center is working however the provincial government has established two Day Care Centers to facilitate working women. One center is located at Patel Raod Quetta the other center is located at Wahdat Colony Brewery Road Quetta. SBK Women University also has established a day care center to facilitate its staff. Children of age 3 months to 4 years are enroll in these centers which clearly indicate the demand for such a project proposed for Infants of more than 6 months to up to age of to 5 years.

Education Directorate Schools

Pre-feasibility Study

Day Care Center

There are 269 primary schools for the boys and 148 primary schools for the girls in Quetta district with a total enrollment 28,454 boys and 16,933 girls respectively3. The stated figures justify the requirement of day care center in private sector. Following are the suitable locations suggested for the proposed institution: Main City Shehbaz Town

MARKET INFORMATION
4.1 Target Customers

The Day Care Center has targeted the workingwomen and the business community having infants of age more than 6 months to children of age up to 5 years. The target population of the working women consists of the women with pre-school going children. The business community also has positive response since they too are very much involved in their daily routines and therefore can be targeted as potential customers. 4.2 Market Potential

The normal school going age of children is around 3 years. Many parents having children of age between 3-5 years in Quetta city have not admitted their children in pre-schools. One reason is as they think it is too early to send them to schools and is also wastage of time and money. The daycare aims to provide such an environment in which new ways of learning would be introduced. Children are more likely to retain information learned when they are engaged in enjoyable and meaningful activities. The childcare programs and pre-school curriculums integrate a wealth of intriguing and engaging learning activities that stimulate brain development in children at pre-school stages.
