Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un centro de estimulación temprana para niños de 0 a 5 años en la ciudad de Zamora, durante el período 2025 - 2026

Abstract

Abstract: The starting point for this study is the significant lack of specialized early childhood stimulation services for children aged 0 to 5 years in the city of Zamora, Zamora Chinchipe province. There are no centers implementing structured or validated programs. This need led to the decision to establish an early childhood stimulation center. To this end, the study seeks to evaluate its market, technical, economic, and financial feasibility, with the aim of contributing to the comprehensive development of children in the city. A market research study based on surveys was conducted to determine demand, understand preferred schedules, types of activities expected, and willingness to pay. The technical study defined the scope of the service, as well as the technical requirements necessary for its operation, including infrastructure, specialized equipment, human resources, and location, considering accessibility, safety, and demand criteria. Finally, the economic and financial analysis provided a detailed estimate of the initial investment, fixed and variable costs associated with the center's operation, and evaluated its profitability.
