Introduction: I am a parent of two young children and saw the need for a childcare solution tailored for parents with non-traditional work hours. Thus, I founded Round-the-Clock Tots Childcare in Pinole, California. My aim is to offer a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children around the clock.
Background: Originally, I planned to start this venture with my sister from my property in Pinole. However, she had to move out of state, leaving me to seek a co-investor to bring this vision to life. The childcare center is strategically located just 0.8 miles from Shannon Elementary School, serving 335 families, and 0.5 miles from Downtown Pinole, which is on the cusp of significant expansion. This location benefits from being in a family-friendly neighborhood with low competition for 24/7 childcare services, as nearby options are limited and often require travel across Highway 80.

-Facility: A 1200 sqft home converted into a childcare space with:
-2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, 1 bathroom, accommodating up to 14 children.
