Are You Outgrowing Your Space?
Is your agency outgrowing your space? Has it reached its potential with expanding services through Duration, EHS, EHS CCP, and State Early Childhood? Do you know what the impact Duration will have on your budget mid-year or at year end? Is your EHS CCP vendor contracts sustainable when subsidy funds are lost? Has your agency considered expanding services to private pay? Are you ready?
Mississippi Early provides trainings on how to strategically plan and conduct feasibility studies to expand services, as well as assist with assessment of projections for early childhood services. Ask about us coming to your agency to help you expand.

Success Story
A Head Start, single purpose agency wanted to purchase a facility and expand services, the project did not appear to be affordable and therefore would not be sustainable. A Feasibility Study was completed for extending the day at centers for duration, purchasing a facility to offer extended hours, adding private pay enrollees, and adding State enrollment at a different location. The Study included what the breakeven cost would be for the program to purchase the facility and expand services. The feasibility study provided the Executive Director and the Board with the data necessary to instill confidence that the expansion plan was sustainable. The process has been very successful. The program had so many requests for the private pay slots, that they had a lottery for the selection process.
