2020 DRAFT BUDGET PRESENTATION Art and Education

2019 Accomplishments

• Children’s, Ballet, Day Camp and Preschool have all had a strong

1st half of 2019.

• Enrollment for Preschool for the 2019-2020 school year is equal to

what it was at the end of last school year.

• Our Gymnastics contract with Active Athletics was consistently

strong this year.

2019 Challenges

3

• Continued competition with additional studios for dance, art

and pottery, and music as well as tumbling gyms

• Competing internal programs

 Backcountry  STEM  Art  Sports

• Increase in Preschools in the area, which compete with us

for not only students but teachers as well.

• Additional licensing regulations that increase staffing and

reduce room capacity for Preschool and Day Camp.

• Continued software difficulties with the childcare module.

Industry & Competitor Outlook

• Competitive Preschool programs continue to multiply in the surrounding

Elementary schools and private Preschools in the Highlands Ranch/Lone Tree area.

• Contractors can offer the same programs for less to the community at

churches and libraries because the space is free.

• We struggle to get participation from outside of Highlands Ranch, which is
• ur only way to grow our programs, because competitors offer the same

classes for a smaller/no non-member rate difference.

Participation Data

• Strong Preschool enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year.
• Summer Preschool Enrichment saw a decrease this summer because

5-year old's were moved to the Day Camp program.

• Subsequently, Day Camp saw an increase in participation with the

younger age group, but a significant decrease in participation from

• lder participants.
• Cooking camps and classes are trending higher in 2019
• Children’s programs are trending higher in 2019
• Contracted Art and STEM Camps are trending lower in 2019

Revenue Generating Ideas

• We have seen an increase in participation at the WR preschool, so we’re working on finding

collaborative programs to further bridge the gap between Children’s and Preschool.

• We’re finding solutions with combinations of classes to accommodate waitlisted Pre-K children at

WR.

• We’re looking into making the Owl room at WR sufficient from a licensing standpoint, to

accommodate 2 year old's, which would alleviate the 18 kid deep waitlist at ER and add additional revenue.

• We’re exploring more fundraising opportunities for the Preschool.

Cost Savings Ideas

• Combining SR Day Camp and WR Day Camp to save on operation expenses resulting in higher

net revenue. 6

Backcountry, other internal camps and the area base camps
