Cupertino, CA 95014
Subject: Business Plan
For the 18900 Stevens Creek Blvd project, we plan to target two different student sectors:
pre-school and school -age (P grade and up). Pre-school children will be located in I"
floor facilities; school -age children will be located in 2A floor facilities. In addition, will
be a school -age classroom in 1" floor as well.
Pre-school Business Operational Plan:
1. Pre-school children will be operated in the 1" floor facilities. There will be 3
classrooms to service 70 children. Two teachers per classroom, as required by
licensing requirements of maximum 12:1 student -teacher ratio.
2. Pre-school children will learn how to socialize with children. They will be
introduced to cultural activities, such as singing, dancing, drawing. They will also
learn how to recognize shapes, color, plants, animals, etc.
3. Business hours will be: M-F 8:30-6:30pm. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Parents have the liberty to drop-off/pick-up children at their convenience.
Therefore, drop-off times and pick-up times are dispersed.
4. There will be a pre-school playground on the premises.
School -age Business Operational Plan:
1. We will serve school -age children 3`d grade and up, for a total of 72 students.
They will be based mostly on 2" d floor facilities, with only 1 classroom on 1st
floor. There will be 8 classrooms, 1 classroom in 151 floor and 7 classrooms in 2"d
floor; each classroom will have a teacher, for maximum a ratio of 12:1.
2. Business hours will be: M-F 2:00-7:00pm; closed on Saturdays and Sundays
3. Student program:
• Mandarin Chinese
• Chinese cultural classes, such as folk dance, kung-fu, drama, folk
singing, go, brush painting, calligraphy, abacus, traditional
customs, etc.
• Other enrichment classes, such as chess, arts and craft, painting, dance,
math, etc.
4. School -age children arrive at school via Sunflower transportation. These are
typically Sunflower vans ("Sunflower van") carrying up to 12 children or
Sunflower -contracted drivers ("drivers"), typically carrying up to 6 children.
These "drivers" or "Sunflower vans" will arrive at staggered time slots because in
the Cupertino Unified School District schools set their own schedules. As such,
many schools dismiss students at slightly different times. Therefore, students
arrive at slightly different times. The effect is that drop off times are staggered;
thus, relieving potential traffic congestion.

5. For safety reasons, we follow strict guidelines in dropping off children:
a. a teacher must lead the children into Sunflower facilities before the
van/car can move.
b. Drivers must take roll call and check -off students at drop-off
6. We offset the closing business hour by 30minutes between pre-school and after -
school in order to stagger pickup times. Most people tend to procrastinate till
closing time to pickup their children; thus, we anticipate most parents picking up
children during last 30min of business.
19220 Stevens Creek Blvd Business Operational Plan:

will serve school school -age children K-2 grade. We will NOT serve under 5
age children. Enrollment capacity is 130 students.
2. Business hours are M-F 2:00-6:30pm; closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
