### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

Labor as % of revenue: 55-65% (largest expense by far)
Turnover rate: 26-40% industry average — retention is survival
Retention tactics: Tuition discounts for staff children, PTO, health benefits, CDA sponsorship

### Licensing & Compliance

State licensing (all states require):

Background checks (FBI fingerprint + state) for all staff
Staff:child ratios (varies by state and age group)
Square footage: 35-50 sq ft per child indoors, 75+ sq ft outdoors
Health & safety inspections (annual or biannual)
Fire marshal approval
Zoning approval for childcare use

Federal:

USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) — reimburses $3-$5/child/day for meals
ADA compliance (facility accessibility)
FLSA labor law compliance

Accreditation (optional, premium positioning):

NAEYC — gold standard, 7% of centers accredited
NECPA — alternative national accreditation
State Quality Rating (QRS/QRIS) — star ratings affect subsidy rates

### Parent Retention & Growth

Waitlist management: If not maintaining a waitlist, you're underpriced or under-marketed
Tour conversion rate target: 60-75%
Parent communication: Daily reports (app-based — Brightwheel, HiMama), weekly curriculum updates
Re-enrollment rate target: 85%+ year over year
Google reviews: Target 4.7+ stars — #1 factor in parent selection
Referral program: $200-$500 credit per enrolled referral
Community events: open houses, holiday programs, summer camps (incremental revenue)
Subsidy acceptance: CCDF/state subsidies fill seats but at lower rates — cap at 30-40% of enrollment

### Growth Playbook

Stage 1: Single Center (60-80 kids, $500K-$1M)

Fill infant rooms first (highest revenue per square foot)
Get NAEYC accredited within 2 years
Build waitlist before expanding

Stage 2: Optimized Single (100-150 kids, $1M-$2M)

Add pre-K and school-age programs
Summer camp programs (fills summer dip)
Maximize CACFP reimbursement

Stage 3: Multi-Site ($2M-$5M)

Replicate model at second location
Centralize admin, billing, HR
Bulk purchasing for supplies and food

Stage 4: Regional Brand ($5M+)

Franchise or corporate-owned expansion
Employer-sponsored childcare contracts (major differentiator)
Before/after school programs in elementary schools

### Industry Context (2026)

$60B+ US childcare market, 500K+ providers
Chronic shortage: only enough slots for 1 in 3 children who need care
Political tailwind: bipartisan support for childcare funding
Staffing crisis: wages lag other sectors, driving 30%+ turnover
Technology: parent communication apps, automated billing, AI-assisted curriculum planning
Employer-sponsored trend growing: companies subsidizing employee childcare
