From: Developmental Learning Center
• Determine if it is feasible to implement a preschool into Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC).
• Talked about benefits of having a preschool and who would be impacted.
• Research that was needed to be done:- To find a curriculum - Is there a building that the preschool could be in- Are there standards for implementing a preschool - Is
there money in ASRC’s budget to support a preschool
Introduction
• Is there facility that could be rented or purchased for childcare center?
• Is there a curriculum that could be used?• Is there enough in ASRC budgets to have a childcare
center?• Is there a preschool standard for the State of Alaska?• Are there rules and guidelines that need to be followed?• Is ASRC financial able to support opening a childcare?• Is a preschool recommended enough to open and make
a profit?
Criteria
Researched multiple topics: Curriculums Building in the Anchorage area. ASRC budgeting Alaska standards on Preschools
Survey was conducted to view what the public’s view was on: preschool school readiness at home care.
Methods
There multiple buildings available, but hard to tell if they will work without being there physically to see it.
I found a curriculum called HighScope.
The start up cost is expensive, with a total of $409.60. Meets all of Alaska standards for early childhood
education.
The Municipality does have requirements and guidelines for opening a childcare. AMC 16.55.010-.500
Research ResultsBuilding, Curriculum, and Municipality of Anchorage
Requirements
State of Alaska as teaching requirements. Document has what preschool age students should
be developing and what they should be able to do before kindergarten
There is no for sure way of knowing ASRC budget They do donate significant amounts to
Charities Shareholders

Survey Results
After researching and looking over what research what done the following conclusion have been made:
From the survey, we can say that school readiness is important and the development that happens preschool is beneficial.
There are building available in the Anchorage area. There is a curriculum out there that can be purchased like
HighScope. There are guidelines and requirements for opening a child
care. There are standards for the State of Alaska on what preschool
age children should be learning.
Conclusions
Although it looks like it is feasible to open and implement a child care/ preschool I believe that research should still be been to confirm the financial capability and physically for a preschool within your company. I recommend that:
Look within the financial of ASRC be done to see if they could support the facility
Poll/ Survey of the ASRC employee that would use the preschool for their children.
Physically go look into possible facility places.
