Break Even Analysis in case of Preschools

Leave a Comment / General, Preschool / shemford

Break-even analysis is an important calculation used in business ventures like running a preschool. Break even analysis of a preschool is reached when its revenues equal the sum of all the expenses. At the break even point there is zero profit, but it also means that the business is no longer running losses and from here on it would begin to incur profits. A break-even calculation makes a lot of sense for the preschool owner because it helps to calculate the level of child enrolment that is necessary to avoid operating in a loss. However, break even breakdown is more of an indicator rather than a science of exact calculations. For example, the childcare provider could choose not to add more children to reach the break-even point. Instead, the fee for new enrolments could be raised or the staff/child ratios could be altered. Thus, this analysis is indicative of how the preschool business set-up is operating in terms of finances and the changes it needs to make. Revenue projections can also go awry if there is a high rate of children dropping out of the preschool, right in between the semester. Preschools could solve this problem by making the parents sign a payment agreement. The agreement could be prepared in such a manner that the parents have to either give a two-week notice before taking out their child or pay one week of tuition fee in advance.

The break even analysis of a preschool factor in various kinds of costs likes, • Fixed costs have a near-negligible tendency to change over a period of time. These costs do no undergo any kind of variation irrespective of the total number of teachers employed or the number of children enrolled. These include costs incurred in the form of land rent, insurance payments, etc. • Variable costs tend to alter over a short or longer period of time. For example, costs incurred due to the money spent on food provided to the children would alter in proportion to the number of children enrolled. • Step-variable costs are those costs that do change with a factor like the number of children enrolled but tend grow to a larger extent than the cost of preschooling calculated on a per child basis. A common example of a step-variable cost is teacher salaries. Break even analysis of a preschool also need to factor in • Average revenue per child. • Margin created per child. • Personal expenses debited from the preschool’s business account.

Preparatory School for Children

Leave a Comment / General, Preschool / shemford

Schooling has turned into a major business sector in India. Securing admission in a reputed senior secondary school is often linked to the quality and brand name of the preschool or playschool that the child had attended. Parents are often faced with preschools/playschools that advertise themselves as the ‘best preparatory school for children’. Many policy changes have been made regarding the admission process in the preschool sector but these guidelines are being openly flouted by the preschools that might market themselves as the ‘best preparatory school for children’. Again, the interviewing of the parents in the senior secondary schools has also been abolished. This was to ensure that the blatant commercialisation of the preschooling sector in India was abolished. This is because often the interview process would grind the parents regarding the preschooling options they had made. Just to give an overview, with these policies in place, even parents seeking admission to the supposed ‘best preparatory school for children’ were often humiliated in terms of their qualifications and financial status. Interested to Open a School? Call 91+9560809732 However, there are some worthy play schools that are truly preparatory schools and have positioned themselves as a means to bridge the gap before leaping into an environment for senior secondary or formal education. Some people have suggested that a ‘play school’ is actually a misnomer as the curriculum of preschools isn’t about random playing and is based upon certain theme-based, purposeful interactive sessions that endeavour to ensure a child’s holistic development. Play Schools – the urban connection Play schools are just entering the semi-urban areas or industrial towns. Presently, there are largely looked upon as an urban need — an urban phenomenon. This is largely due to the fact that the disposable incomes are higher in the cities and the number of nuclear families is increasing by the moment. Again the concept of working parents translates into greater need for preschools/playschools. Forays have been made into the non-urban centres and an example of it is the SHEMROCK Group of Schools. They have introduced playschool-based centers in many small towns and sub-urban areas. Such play-schools aren’t a mirror image of their metropolitan counterparts but they strive hard to fulfill the purpose of structured preschooling . There have been some attitudinal changes that have led to a growing demand for play schools. The debate regarding a play school’s purpose is increasingly fading away.

Preschool Brochures: Need & Impact

Leave a Comment / General / shemford

In terms of a definition, a brochure is basically a leaflet/booklet/pamphlet/piece of printed paper that is used for the purpose of promoting a product, brand name or services. Brochures for preschools are generally used for advertising activities and preschools have been using them since their very inception. The design of a typical preschool brochure should be attention-grabbing and usually brochures for preschools are infused with a lot of creativity and an array of different colours. Advantages of Having Brochures for Preschools For any successful marketing campaign it is vital that the logo should be very impactful and should induce a feeling of association and reliability with the people. If the logo is seen often, then the marketing campaign has been successful in making the people familiar a particular brand. This holds true for preschools also. One of the easiest ways to make people familiar with the logo of a preschool is by getting them printed on brochures for preschools. Brochures for preschools usually carry the preschool’s logo, making the audience feel that the brand is professional and financially successful. Impact of Brochures for Preschools Most brochures for preschools have smiling and happy children in a very expressional manner. These brochures use glossy photographs that have preschool teachers intermingling with the students and are littered with pictures of activities that are conducted by the preschool like the field-trips or picnics or stage performances of the students. Such brochures enhance the preschool’s image as having the suitable kind of environment to enable the holistic development of a child. This helps in engaging the parent’s attention and in making sure that more people approach the preschool for admission. Hence, brochures for preschools also aid in more admission and bigger profits. Brochures for preschools are circulated among the neighbouring household and sometimes also in business places that are likely to see a large footfall of young children. For example, fast food chains. An impressive preschool brochure is a combined effort of the graphic designers, school’s staff, administrators and sometimes the feedback of parents. Understanding the Role of Brochures of Preschools The importance of brochures for preschools can be best understood with a simple example. Let us suppose a parent is seeking admission for his 3-year-old son in a preschool that is trustworthy but doesn’t have sufficient information regarding the neighbourhood preschools. The parent starts to seek the opinions of family, friends and office colleagues but is still confused. Now, he sees a preschool brochure. The brochure looks very attractive and the layout is beautiful. It addresses the preschool education from the child’s/parent’s viewpoint. The brochure contains a lot of photographs that highlights the preschool’s facilities/activities. Just a look at the brochure, impresses the parent so much that he immediately makes an enquiry about admissions to that preschool and is eventually persuaded by that school’s counselling staff to get his son admitted.

Tackling Violence in Schools

Leave a Comment / General / shemford

From corporal punishment and sexual abuse to verbal and emotional abuse, violence in schools is becoming common in India and in order to resolve this issue, Plan India — a developmental organisation for child rights launched a campaign called — “Learn without fear”, in New Delhi. It has been established that nearly 69% children report physical abuse, including cases of corporal punishment. Out of the reported cases, two out of three children complained about corporal punishment. Maximum percentage of corporal punishment was found in government and municipal schools. Other forms of violence among children included sexual abuse. The worst offending states include AP, Assam, Bihar and Delhi. Corporal punishments in schools have been handed out for numerous ‘reasons’ like dirty uniform, homework, late comings, late fee, etc. The nature of ‘punishment’ has been found to include making children stand in the sun, do repeated sit-ups and merciless beatings. Violence could be both physical and mental. Children humiliated in a class could turn violent on fellow classmates. Most educators said that increasing academic competition and parental pressure was over-taxing students and making them angry. Some counsellors suggested that acceptance and supporting the child without being threatening or violent was essential to resolve childhood insecurities. They laid emphasis upon increasing communication with the children and more parent-teacher interaction platforms. Teacher training in understanding student behaviour was also stressed upon.

How to choose the Best Boarding School in India

Leave a Comment / General / shemford

Parents shouldn’t blindly believe in the reputation of a boarding school, when selecting one for their child. A particular brand of a boarding school may not have the kind of facilities that are well-suited to the child’s temperament. For example, the best boarding school in Shimla may not be able to offer the needs of a particular child despite its prestige and reputation. Core Curriculum — the most important factor to be considered while choosing a school has to be its curriculum. The curriculum should be comprehensive and exhaustive. Since, the students in a boarding school don’t often meet their parents, it is the responsibility of the parents to check upon the viability of syllabus and its suitability. The parents can even request for a copy of the school’s catalogue. Some schools have websites that showcase the highlights of their curriculum. Class Size — the parents have to evaluate a child’s personality and evaluate whether the child would prefer a large academic set-up or a smaller setting with increased personal attention. The staff-student ratio also indicates the level of attention that would be provided to each student in the class. Co-ed?— one major decision that parents need to make when choosing a schooling establishment for their child is regarding the choice between co-ed and same-sex boarding schools. For instance, a parent may come across the best boarding school in Shimla, but it could be a same-sex school, which for some parents isn’t a good choice as it decreases the chance to develop social skills with the opposite sex. Type of School — boarding schools are of different types. Some of them are affiliated with a religious belief, such as many Baptist and Catholic schools that are counted among the best boarding school in Shimla. Some parents are very stringent regarding their preference for a child to be educated under a particular faith. Extracurricular Activities — along with the educational curriculum and academic excellence of a boarding school, there should also be an emphasis on sports, music, arts, crafts, etc. to ensure the all-round development of a child. The availability and the nature of extracurricular activities in a school should be considered. A child may have particular talents and choosing a school that doesn’t have the facilities to develop these talents shouldn’t be considered. School Environment — before finalising a boarding school, the parents should make at least one detailed visit to the school campus. This is the easiest method to gauge the environment of a school. Talking to some of the students, staff members and walking around the campus, noticing the better and the negative aspects regarding the infrastructure and the facilities can help the parents to make a better decision.

Children’s Day Celebrations in India

Leave a Comment / General / shemford

Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s Birthday on 14th November is fondly celebrated as Children’s Day in India, every year. Schools across the nation organise cultural events/activities for the students. Welfare organisations look forward for this opportunity to spread the awareness about their noble motives and enlighten people about the plight of the underprivileged children. While the children in the metros are fighting lifestyle diseases, their counterparts in the rural areas are faced with malnutrition and apathy towards their general welfare. The Day should be used to address the need for better childcare and healthcare facilities for the young generation across the nation. Most educators have taken this opportunity to stress upon the importance of investing in education. Other requisites are secondary in nature, the first and foremost factor along with their healthcare needs is the provision of proper primary education — laying a foundation for their lives. In terms of literary contributions, nearly 100 books written by Astrid Lindgre — the Sweden grandmaster of children’s literature, were released by Oxford University Press as their Children’s Day initiative. The book has had phenomenal following since 1945 and has been translated in over 90 languages across 60 countries.

The Delhi Government has made an honest attempt to raise the health standards among the students enrolled in the government-sponsored educational institutes. In this regard, the Naval Health Camp will be organized in the capital’s Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Sultanpuri between the 4th and 6th of November 2008. These camps would also serve the purpose of reaching out to the underprivileged urban population.

Boost For Tourism/Hospitality Education

Leave a Comment / General / shemford

The Indian tourism industry has faced an annual scarcity of 2,00,000 trained professionals. The current system offers only 12,000 trained people. Taking this problem into consideration, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, CCEA has approved the proposal for broadening the scope for better infrastructure and more trained manpower resources. As a result, new educational institutes will be created in the key areas of tourism and hospitality. Even the existing polytechnics and universities would be upgrading to offer hospitality/tourism-related courses. This would translate into the strengthening of the currently-operational establishments like the IHMs and Food Craft Institutes. Some of these institutes would be turned into centres of excellence for the above-mentioned courses.
