Who I am in a nutshell:
I have a business background and a huge passion to teach children. I am also a single mom who wants to be there for her little one and at the same time provide for him.
I have a rich experience of over 7 years with children of all ages so I thought about combining my passion and my knowledge and start something great that would benefit me and my baby and at the same time other parents and their children.
As a parent (or as a single parent) I know how hard and expensive it is to find quality care for your littles ones, as parents we want to make sure that our little ones are growing and developing by getting the right education they need but without breaking our banks. I am raising money to create a preschool that offers a high quality fun artistic educational environment for the little one that is also affordable for their parents.
The preschool is going to be artistic based, where the children will learn through music, dance, paint, crafts and other activities. The program will also allow the children to learn through experience, and make everyday a learning adventure for them. It will have a lot of different rich activities throughout the day to keep the children engaged and motivated to learn and play. It will also have a language program to help children learn other languages at a very early stage.
It will have different workshops (theater, music, dance, art, and others). We will have a nice outdoor space to allow the kids to get fresh air and get dirty and a science lab. Kids will spend their day moving from a workshop to another.
Also, the preschool will have a designated area for those parents who work from home, parents could sit and work while enjoying a cup of coffee while their kids play and interact with their peers.
With your contributions, we can make a difference and together we can build a better tomorrow! By contributing, you give a child the best gift that they could ever ask for, the gift of learning!
After a deep market research, the start up costs would be as follow:
– Educational Supplies: $5,000.00
– Furniture: $15,000.00
– Renovations: $20,000.00
– Administrative, licensing and legal fees: $5,000.00
– Deposits: $7,000.00
– Working Capital for 3 months: $40,000.00
– Miscellaneous: $2,000.00
– Indiegogo fee and processing fees: $6,720.00
– Total: $100,720.00
As shown in the table and graph above, we are dedicating a huge chunk of the budget to renovations, furniture and supplies, so that we can have top notch supplies for the kids. We are planning on renovating the space to fit the children’s needs, by having a designated area for activities such as painting and another one for workshops such as dance, music and theater, and we will even have a science lab.
Now let’s talk about what you will be getting as a thank you for your contribution.
For each contribution there is a little gift that goes with it as a token of our gratitude.
Also, 20% of the capital will be opened to contributors, which will allow you to be our partner and receive a passive income for 12 months depending of your contribution, which means that your contribution will be an investment.
How would this work?
You will receive a % of the profit (dividends) depending on the amount of your contribution, starting after the 1st trimester of the opening (in any given business, the profits are not always expected in the first three months so to maximize your income, the dividends won’t be distributed until that profit grows a little bit).
You will also have a chance to participate in the preschool’s forum and Page to give ideas and suggestions about the overall preschool.
This campaign is not only to help me and help other kids but it is also an investment for you.
Sure, your contributions will allow me to realize my dream by working and taking care of my little one. It would also allow lots of children learn and grow. But it will help YOU as well make a little passive income depending on your contribution.
In addition and most importantly this project will allow me and my child to start fresh and start a happy chapter in our lives. Every parent has big dreams and big hopes for their kids and hope for the day when they proudly say “that’s my kid!”, I do too. But most importantly I want my kid to be proud of me as well, I want to be his inspiration and I can’t be unless I try extra hard to make things happen for us, and this is my first step towards making my child proud of me.
In addition, your contribution will also help save other kids and women in difficult situations, a % of our profits will be dedicated to helping empower single moms especially those who were in abusive situation, there will be a program to help them go back to school and help them find the right jobs for them. We will also have scholarships available for kids with limited resources.
Like every business out there, there is always a risk, however that risk is somehow lowered with a lot of hard work and determination.
I am 100% confident and positive that this project would be a success because I am more than willing to work extra hard to make it happen. I am also confident in my skills and experience and know that I will be able to make this project a little heaven for the little ones.
If you can’t contribute financially, we would still appreciate your support please:
– Get the word out and make some noise about our campaign.
– Share it with your friends and family!
– And if there is anything else that you can do to help us make happen, please do share :)
Thank you very much!
