Project Summary
My project is on opening an affordable child care center for children with special needs. The center would have RN and LPN’S on staff at all times. Also, we would provide feeding (no matter how the child is to be feed), Early Intervention, speech, and therapy. Also, we would have staff available for the parents to get answers to many medical problems for their child or refer them to where they would need to go to assist them with these problems.
Small Miracles Daycare & Development Center is prepared to become one of the prominent special needs daycare facilities in Plainfield Indiana.
We realize that if our company is going to accomplish the goals that we have set for our business, then we must confirm that we form our business on a concrete foundation. We also must ensure that we follow the scheduled progression in setting up the company.

GANTT Chart Activities
Gantt charts actual time
Regarding showing the actual time spent on the activities, I will make sure that I record each activity against the time that I devote to each activity. This means that I will have to keep accurate track of all activities and the time allocated for each activity. Upon completion of each activity, I will record the actual time that each activity has taken to complete. Keeping an accurate record of all activities will make it straightforward to distinguish the time it took for each activity, as well as the whole project.

SWOT Analysis
Helpful
| Internal Threats | External Threats |
| Strengths | Opportunities |
| Our strength is in part that we have a great team of well-qualified professionals managing numerous job positions in our company. | The opportunities that are available to special needs daycare business are limitless because we have plenty of children with special needs in Plainfield, Indiana area. Also, we are going to station our daycare in the area to make the best out of the children within that area. |
| The location will be in a well-located spot that has accessibility for wheelchair access for disabled vehicles. | Payment Strategies; To make sure that the children stay with our daycare center for a more constant amount of time, we will offer exclusive discounts if they pay months ahead of time. |
| Our daycare center will be safe and secure allowing parents to feel comfortable leaving their children at the center. Forming a positive atmosphere will please parents, and for that reason, our customers will be much more satisfied. well-equipped facility and our exceptional customer service culture will count as a definite strength. | Camps, Trips, & opportunities; There is also the probability of going on trips and camps as an additional charge. There is also the probability of going on trips and camps as an additional charge. This would mean that parents would allow their children to stay overnight. Children would also experience a different environment, but it isn’t crucial to providing excellent childcare. |
| Educational Support; Our center will offer quality education assistance. For our before and after school children, there will be an opportunity for the encouragement from our center, and we will provide to help with homework and any fundamental skills such as mathematics, reading, and writing. The center will also offer necessary educational qualifications for the children, this way they are prepared for kindergarten. |
Harmful
| Weaknesses | Threats |
| Small Miracles Daycare & Development Center is a new business which is owned by an individual and does not have the financial muscle to sustain the kind of publicity we want to give our business. | Like any other daycare business, one of the significant risks that we are liable to go through is to face is an economic downturn and unfavorable government policies. Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of a new, more prominent and well established special needs daycare in the same location where our daycare will be located. |
| Food; As a daycare center we would provide the food at an extra cost, the concern with this is some children do not like all food, and some have allergies. To avoid problems associated with this would be to get parents to fill in some information regarding diets when they are joining up. | Parents Preferring Normal Day Care; Parents may be comfortable with their current daycare situation and not contemplate us. But to place us on the radar we will present economic prices. |
| Funds; Our center would require a significant amount of funds to start as we would like to design a fun but safe setting for all children. The center would have to be roomy and have access for wheelchairs. This would be more expensive to build than the average daycare center. The idea is to construct a fun atmosphere and visually pleasing, not like hospital. To anticipate this, we would require funding from a banker, donations or sponsorships. | The idea being Replicated; Once our daycare center is up and running in one area, there is the possibility that others may emerge in different regions. Others could work faster and have more funds available. We must provide exceptional care and concentrate on other beneficial parts of childcare not only the addition. |
| Difficult to start; The daycare center will be difficult to start due to funding and other children in existing centers. | Existing Competition; Regardless that we built in different areas, there are existing daycare centers that children are placed into. The location and our exceptional facility would verify that we are just as equal as others. We would also offer a one-week free trial so to entice people to switch. External Factors affecting the number of children. |
