Sites near bars, jails, etc. We are involved in the site selection process for each potential StarChild Academy school. A market analysis is conducted to ascertain whether it would be desirable to develop a StarChild Academy school in a particular market and to determine the location of suitable areas within that market. The market is evaluated by collecting and analyzing demographic data, such as population, age, household income, employment levels, growth, and the local economy. Within each geographical area, supply and demand for child care are evaluated through a detailed analysis of the demographic characteristics of each area. In addition, state and local laws, including zoning requirements, development regulations, and child care licensing regulations are reviewed in order to determine the timing and the potential of obtaining the necessary approvals to construct and operate a new StarChild Academy school. A host of sites are generally analyzed within each geographical area. Each potential site is measured against StarChild Academy’s standards regarding location, convenience, visibility, traffic, size, layout, affordable economic terms, and functionality.
