Childcare 'service-survival' in a market under pressure is a complex business and delivering consistent high quality care in a 'time-famine' is the challenge of the day.
The Childcare Centre Desktop is the only support service of its kind in Australia totally dedicated to solving the issues of services in remote and regional locations. And we live by our ‘Obsession Statement’ which has been entirely built around feedback from a variety of childcare services such as; Long Day Care, Preschools, Family Day Care and Out of School Hours Care.
Obsession Statement
"Remove the layers of Complexity and deliver Simplicity so all those involved can get back to the business of being useful"
Within childcare services the one basic fundamental that rises above all others is ‘time’ or more-so the lack of it! This is a direct result of the growing commercial pressure and 'compliance-focus' established in the National Quality Standards required. It's not going to go away so we have to look closely at our current routines and evolve to survive.
Therein lies the mission of the Childcare Centre Desktop; to provide solutions which support efficient compliance, relieve commercial restraints then win back the time lost due to 'complexity'.
OUR FIRST SOLUTION...
Our 'National Framework Implementation Journey'
The objective for 2011 is to understand and implement the new Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standard (NQS). While on paper the timelines to comply may appear generous, lack of time will be your greatest challenge and frustration. Your staff or teams mindset will also present bottlenecks so we have produced an 'implementation journey' in real-time. In simple terms this means that we will share every step by;
-
Establishing the mindset for change in yourself and your team
-
Summarizing key elements of the EYLF and NQS for greater understanding
-
Providing the steps in manageable coaching packages
-
Providing a blue-print for the year ahead so you don't have to think about what's next
-
Providing templates and resources so you don't have to re-create the wheel
-
Hosting monthly teleconferences covering priorities selected by you
-
Membership to a unique national community of childcare workers willing to share the ups, downs and challenges associated with our complex yet extremely rewarding industry.

OUR SECOND SOLUTION...
The Childcare Centre Advantage System
As you already know your day is filled with a myriad of responsibilities and possibilities including accreditation & program issues through to hygiene and cleaning. You also know that in the preschool environment, interruptions are the order of the day. So how do you manage this wonderful mayhem and be commercial at the same time?
There is an even bigger question to consider and it strikes at the real heart of the matter. "How can I find the balance between a business that I love and my life outside?
Fortunately I have been working on this conundrum now for over a decade and developed a system that works. It's called 'The Childcare Centre Advantage' and incorporates a series of processes within two primary themes. The 'Critical Essential Routine' and 'Activity to Asset'. The system can be followed by anyone in the organisation because I have taken what would normally be complex and made it simple.
"Hands On Investigation and Renovation of your Centre"
In real terms the processes within The Childcare Centre Advantage incorporate a ‘hands on’ investigation and renovation of an existing business or the building blocks of a new venture followed by the design and implementation of it's own successful commercial routine. It is a journey that provides incredible insights and this objective approach will confirm the strengths, flush out the waste and prepare your facility for ‘growth phase’ breakthroughs.
"Stop, think, slow down the game then move on"
The principals embrace the philosophy that 'less is more' and supply a modern and dynamic approach to profit planning. The Advantage program will:
-
Establish - successful commercial and financial behaviour
-
Uncover - and bust through enrolment glass ceilings
-
Capture - your intellectual property, and...
-
Recover - more time and greater relief
All existing Desktop subscribers will receive the Advantage System at NO additional charge
Release date for Module One - July 1 2011
