Iron Triangle of Revenue: Your Program’s Financial Health Identify and analyze revenue streams for your child care operations.
Discussion Question: If you had to guess right now, do you think your tuition fully covers the cost of caring for each child in your program? Why or why not?
Experiment Phase
Look at the Iron Triangle handout and note all three sides: Full Enrollment, Full Fee Collection, Covering Costs. What is your licensed capacity vs. current enrollment? Do you collect all tuition on time? Do you know your cost per child? Use the worksheet provided to do a simple cost-per-child calculation, now compare your cost per child with your current tuition rates. Are they higher, lower, or about the same?
