1. A report about the feasibility of an employer-provided preschool day-care program
2. A report by a state boating and waterways commission providing information on the state marinas as they were operated during the most recent fiscal year.

Answer 1

A. Feasibility reports are very important because it covers where the pre-school daycare will be established ,initial investment,HR strategies and financial cost.
Explanation:
In the pre-school the children need to be the age of 2 to 5 years and have teachers who will care for them in the correct way. The employer need to hire people who are responsible and they know on how to take care of children of that age including talking and guiding them as they explore their creative skills. Those employed to take care of the children should know how to play with them. Children who are in daycare are also more likely to be more independent. Since they spend most of their time without mommy, they develop a sense of being more empowered and being more vocal when asking for assistance or asking for what they want. Young children’s regular participation in physical activity positively impacts many aspects of health, including the maintenance of healthy body weight , cognitive development, and psychosocial and cardiometabolic health. The recently released Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the first Years (0–4 years) provides recommendations regarding the acceptable amount and intensity of daily physical activity and sedentary time for young children . Specifically, from age one,children are recommended to interact in 180 min/day of any intensity physical activity, including some
moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) . Higher-intensity physical activity, in the form of
energetic play, offers additional health benefits, and youngsters three years and older should also engage in a minimum of 60 min/day of MVPA. Additionally, screen time should be restricted to no quite 60 min per day. These new guidelines provide a target for parents and are especially important for childcare providers to consider, as more than half (60%)of Canadian children under the age of six spend most of their waking hours enrolled in childcare services.The report unfolds the concept and need of Child Day Care Centres in a country like Pakistan. It explains how they can help working families particularly women and how child care services can help kids to develop characteristics like communication skills, confidence etc. which would be very helpful for them in later part of their life.The feasibility reports also covers the locations where day care centres would be established, operational, marketing, HR strategies, initial investment and financial costs which would occurred as a result of their creation.The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the opening of new day care centre & kindergarten facility at different locations in Lahore city would be financially viable or not. In order to find out this, a feasibility analysis was conducted. It will give us a comprehensive picture of the current and forecasted demand for child care facilities, the market for day care services in the area, potential child care service types, child care center features, estimated initial investment and operational costs, and center operating model options.
Conclusion:
The report would enhance the participation of women in the realm of economic activities and would also give a boost to the emerging demand of industrialization. This would also enable the working women to strike a fair balance between their productive and reproductive responsibilities at workplace as well as in their families.
B.
The Boating and Waterways Commission (Commission) is mandated by the Harbors and Navigation Code (HNC) to advise and comment on all DBW matters within its jurisdiction. The Commission must also advise and comment on all boating facilities loans and grants proposed by the division.The Commission is composed of seven members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate. Each commissioner's term runs for four years. The HNC specifies that in making appointments to the Commission, the Governor shall give primary consideration to the geographical location of the residences of members as related to boating activities and harbors. One member is required to be a private small craft harbor owner and operator, one member must belong to a recognized statewide organization representing recreational boaters, and one member must be an officer or employee of a local law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing boating laws. The Division of Boating and Waterways is made of two Enforcement and Environmental units to coordinate the division's responsibilities. Between them, both units oversee 17 programs, starting from boater safety rules to species control. This report shows a state of boating and waterways commission providing information on the state marinas as they were operated during the most recent fiscal year.
