Update on For Profit Organizations
January 10, 2013
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

For 26 years Exchange has published a status report on for profit child care in it's January issue (many of which can be accessed in its recently updated CD book, Early Childhood Education Trend Report). In the January 2013 report, we compared the growth rates since 2009 of four segments of the for profit sector in North America:
• National Chains — the five largest for profit child care organizations in North America - total licensed capacity has decreased by 4% since 2009.
• Regional Chains — 10 organizations operating in multiple states with total licensed capacity between 7,000 and 24,000 - increased their combined licensed capacity by nearly 13%.
• Local Chains — 20 organizations operating in one or more metropolitan areas with total licensed capacities of less than 7,000 -- 6 of the 20 organizations sampled did not grow or decreased in size, while 7 increased by over 15%.
• Franchise Enterprises — five organizations providing franchises to individual operators of child care centers -- fastest growing segment -- since 2009 the total licensed capacity of centers franchised by the five enterprises sampled increased by nearly 30%.

I contacted many franchises to open a child care center where I live and I got no response. One my town is to small,or I don't have the up front money to start. I bought property but that didn't make a difference. I wish there was someone, some way, or some how to help me open up a center. I'm glad that franchises are up by 30% but not here in my town. Home providers are going down in numbers, and the ones that do home providing are on the low end of quality care.
