Chapter 5 Scenario

 To create a sample program personnel budget and to evaluate your budget. (A sample, using the 2018 published market rates, has been attached to guide you in the process). The 2022 published market rates are attached below.   

You are the director of a small  center, Child Time, and forecasting for your upcoming year. Your program  will have three classrooms open, each projecting to be full: two  toddler rooms of 8 children (in each classroom) and a preschool room of  18. All three rooms will need two teachers for the entire hours of  operation, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Teachers can work no more than eight  hours daily, meaning you will need additional coverage during the day in  each room. You need to create an annual budget that considers the  expenses of six teachers plus yourself (adding a line to include 25% for  fringe benefits to base salaries) to the income generated by tuition.  Your goal is to keep the percentage of your budget spent on personnel at  75% or below.

Focus Assignment: 

Create a spreadsheet to calculate the average hourly rate you can pay  all your teachers, assistants, and yourself, which includes the  percentage of total income you are spending on the payroll. Your  spreadsheet must have a separate line for each person represented in the  scenario. In other words, you can not lump the calculations into one  line that says, teacher or teacher assistants. Refer to the attached  example for guidance. This spreadsheet also needs to include what you  charge for tuition for each age group.

Self-Reflection: 

  1. For your budget, explain how this budget addresses the issues in the scenario .
  2. A minimum of two In-text citations to justify your explanation.

See full FAQ
  • Is there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?

    We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.

    We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

  • I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?

    Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.

    After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.

  • How will I receive a completed paper?

    You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.
  • Where do I upload files?

    When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
