Sales Forecast

The first two months will be spent renovating the house and bringing it up to specifications, both for the state health and license codes, as well as Matt's specifications.  During this time Matt will be finishing up the training program and manuals.  Although Matt had designed an entire training program as part of his Master's in Education, he is reworking it so it is custom designed for his new facility.

The first week of the third month will be used for training of the staff.  By the middle of the third month The Toddler Warehouse will begin accepting children for care.  It is anticipated that the facility will be underutilized until eighth month.  By then word will have spread and the classes will be filling up quite nicely.

From month seven on, there will be a steady, incremental increase in sales.
