Question

Little Rascals Child Care Center has decided to change its hours from 6am to 6pm to 7am to 5pm beginning at the start of the next month. The owner, Wanda, feels that the change is needed because only a few families were coming in before 7am, and, therefore, it was not cost-effective to be open that early. In making her decision, was Wanda being sensitive to the families who brought their children to the center?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, because most did not need her services that early.

Explanation:

Since most families do not bring their children to the child care centre before 6am it is more cost effective for Little Rascals Child Care Center to open at 7am and close at 5pm.

The new timing will reduce cost as the care centre will be open for 10 hours compared to 12 hours before now. Also the staff will be less stressed and will be more productive by not being overworked.

This strategy is a way to remove wastage in operation for Little Rascals Child Care Center.

Answer 2

Answer: YES

Explanation:

While to Wanda the owner of Little Rascals Child Care Center, the decision will help her save cost. It is rather obvious that the need to open by 6 am is not very demanding since most families already prefer coming by 7 am. Though the change in closing time might be problematic in the short run, most parents should be able to comply with it since office hours ends by 4pm in most cases, giving them enough time to pick up their children by 5pm. Wanda should also cut her charges a little in consideration of the changes, as well as the more reduced time.
