USDA Feasibility Study for Childcare and Early Learning in Idaho

    NAICS 624410

    Childcare and early learning projects in rural Idaho address licensed-capacity gaps in agricultural and resort counties where employers cite childcare as a hiring constraint. An independent USDA feasibility study consultant models licensed capacity, enrollment ramp and subsidy mix; the independent USDA feasibility study company documents the gap with county-level data.

    Program Fit

    B&I for for-profit centers; Community Facilities for nonprofit and public sponsors in communities of 20,000 or fewer.

    What the Study Covers

    Framed to the scope required by 7 CFR Part 5001 Appendix A for OneRD guaranteed loan submissions.

    • Market demand and competitive supply analysis
    • Technical and site feasibility, including environmental considerations
    • Five to ten year financial projections with DSCR, DCF, and sensitivity analysis
    • Management and operational capacity assessment
    • Economic feasibility and rural community impact

    Idaho Market Evidence

    Idaho childcare demand is documented in employer surveys across the Magic Valley and resort counties; the CF 20,000-population test governs which Idaho towns qualify for community-facility financing. Eight Idaho cities exceeded 50,000 in the 2020 Census, and the excluded urban fringes around Boise, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d'Alene and Twin Falls make eligibility parcel-specific at every metro edge; every Idaho study includes a dated, address-level USDA map determination.
