Upskilling in child care for a better business

Friday, May 11, 2018

As a director or owner of a child care centre, you are probably well aware of the competition in the industry. Many new centres have been popping up across Victoria and all over Australia to meet the demand as more parents continue to return to work and require child care services. Attracting more families is essential for your centre, and it may surprise you to learn that team upskilling in child care is one way to do it.

Higher quality child care professionals

The child care professionals you employ are vital to the success of your child care centre. Upskilling in child care enables you to give your team the most up to date skills and knowledge to provide children with the highest quality care possible. Needless to say, this doesn’t go unnoticed by families.

 

Parent satisfaction for your marketing

There really is no better way to attract new families to your child care centre than good old fashioned word of mouth marketing. The recommendation to your centre from one parent to another is invaluable, and by upskilling your staff in child care you give yourself the best chance of providing children with the best start and, in turn, impressing families.

 

More demand for your centre

Create a demand for your child care centre’s services and before you know it, you’ll have a waitlist. With high quality staff and programs in place with continual professional development as part of your strategy, you can even look at increasing your fees.

 

Upskilling in child care is good for business

In addition to motivating and retaining your team of educators, committing to regular training and upskilling in child care means you can be sure you are providing families and children with the very best standard of child care.
