A number of key factors include:

1. The geographic market area that the center will serve.Factors that influence its size include drive times, patterns of travel to work, competition, psychological barriers, and nodes of employment.

2. The demographic and socio-economic composition and number of children of market area resident and worker families.

3. Competition.

4. Market rates for child care in the area.

5. Available assistance for families.

6. The target market's family socio-economics.
