QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
How many employees will this have?
Approximately 25-30 salaried professionalsÎ
Is this school age specific?
YesÎ
Do you have a franchisee lined up yet?
No, but are currently in discussionsÎ
Have you performed a traffic study?
Not yet, need to talk to the city. The previous project has a TIA which may beÎ
applicable.
What about drainage issues?
We will address existing conditions and work with the city. Î
The Childrens Courtyard was approved years ago. Do you anticipate traffic issues with
Timarron?
Most pre-schools are larger than us which reduces the footprint. Our impact willÎ
be less intense.
We also offer red carpet service which allows for a staffed front door drop off. Î
How many pre-schools are in Southlake?
There is a competitive market here but we are prepared and offer a uniqueÎ
experience.
What is the cost?
Approximately $275 per week for an infant. The price goes down as the childÎ
gets older. We have competitive pricing.
