Mal Mart, Inc., day care kids is a mid-sized business, mindful of best practices within the early childhood community, compliant with applicable laws and regulations, and in concert with the culture of its individual clients, establishes appropriate rules, monitors for compliance, communicates effectively with both parents and employers, and attracts and maintains professional staff members who are licensed/certified and who consistently provide both developmental education and individual attention to the children in their care.

Our target market will be parents who work in the Tysons Corner Area which plan to use these Human Resource Departments as a catalyst to directly gain access to employees and indirectly gain trust and credibility. We believe that if the HR Departments grant us access to its staff then employees will in turn feel more comfortable with using our services.
