RE: Southeast Community Center Childcare
____________________________________________________________________________
Question
After State reimbursement and whatever our customers are paying – not counting construction
of the building – after all expenses, personnel, equipment, and incoming revenue, what will be
the net cost of the childcare facility on an annual basis?
Response
The Southeast Community Center (SECC) conceptual design indicates a childcare space with
two classrooms that will be utilized for Universal Pre-K(UPK), Licensed Funtime Preschool and
Funtime summer camp.
The following is the breakdown of estimated revenue and expenses.

Revenue Assumptions:
• The above table assumes 100% capacity and no reduced fee participation.
o A breakout of the annual subsidy to the program is below considering varying
levels of reduced fee participation.
Expense:
Early Childhood Teacher 1 A4-1 $87,967
Early Childhood Teacher 1 A4-1 $87,967
Early Childhood Teacher 1 A4-1 $87,967
Early Childhood Teacher 1 A4-1 $87,967
Misc. Expenses (Classroom furniture,
PD, Supplies) N/A $50,000
Indirect Cost - Facility O&M (4%) $63,000
Expense Assumptions:
• The staffing model mirrors that of NACC that has 2 year-round classrooms utilized by
UPK, Licensed Preschool and Funtime summer camp.
• There is no indirect management or recreation administration costs calculated into this
as this program will be placed under the current management of youth and early learning
programs.
• The Facility O&M assumes that the childcare wing will account for approximately 4% of
the projected O&M for the facility. This was due to the square footage of the space
accounting for approximately 4% of the total recreation and shared space. This is a too
early estimate but the best we have currently. This number will be refined as the facility
is designed.
Annual Net Cost:
No reduced fee participation: $3,700
10% reduced fee participation: -$26,400
20% reduced fee participation: -$56,500
30% reduced fee participation: -$86,500
40% reduced fee participation: -$116,600
• The assumption was made with max participation in each program.
