Get Started

Your Office

As the owner of a daycare, you will be the principal, child psychologist, parent, psychiatrist, and even be called on as the janitor! Based off of ABC Academy’s example, “Create a Better Daycare” will provide you with:

• The philosophies of each of the many hats you will wear as an owner
• Employee Handbook
• Parent pack

• All about teachers and the training they need to believe in themselves as educators
• Procedures

• What to do when a child has an Illness and how to correctly inform parents
• Hiring Practices as well as helpful tips and detailed outlines informing you how to have a successful interview
• Information on the importance of the Owner-Director Relationship, such as how to hire as a director, how the director will free up your time, and how you fit in the director’s office

Your Day Care Staff

Your staff members are the business partners that you want, need, and depend on. As the owner, you must treat all your employees with respect, dignity, and generosity. In turn, a sense of loyalty can be created from the office that will give you the peace of mind to leave your center, for work or pleasure, without worrying.

The Director
The director is of utmost importance because, in a successful daycare, the owner and the director share the same vision for the school and the daycare business. The director needs to radiate confidence and knowledge, thereby inspiring the teachers. They should be your replacement and have your skill set, so it is important to hire someone that will enhance your leadership abilities.

Create a Better Daycare provides you with a model of:

• How to treat the director in the Hierarchy of the Business Plan, including what a director should and shouldn’t know about the business’s finances
• Outlines the many Jobs of the Director including the manner in which the director is paid and the manner to treat the director’s children
• An example of ABC Academy’s set of Guiding Rules designed by the owner and the director to better guide the teachers
• Helpful Hints on ways to help retain your teachers, which ends up being one of the most cost-effective tools that your center can possess. This aspect can save you money and improve your daycare’s image and quality. We will show you how to create a great work environment and appreciate these people for the job they are going to do for you and your company.

Your Teachers
Teachers are in direct contact with the children daily so they need to be inspired, appreciated, and feel valued. The director will provide teachers with:

• Classroom learning goals to keep the teachers on track, which include pointers and reminders for teachers to give children individual attention, have parent-teacher conferences, and provide two or three different learning activities during work time.
• Requirements Checklist
• Teacher Self Evaluation Forms to keep teachers on track and motivated
• An Employee Handbook and we will include ABC Academy’s Employee Handbook full of in-depth information providing you with the professional requirements, education, and training as well as the different policies, rules, and reminders.

The Cook
Every employee in your daycare contributes significantly to your program. By purchasing this program, you will receive a:

• Kitchen Checklist, which includes anything from refilling supplies and cleaning instructions to dating the food in the fridge
• Cook’s Duties, which include the preparation of food and food carts in a timely manner and delivering it to the classrooms, cleaning instructions, as well as giving precedence to state regulations

Your Vision for Your Day Care

“We as educators have the power to sway the future in a positive, exciting manner through these children in our care. Our efforts with these children can resonate for generations to come.”

Tour Your Day Care

“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.”

In the childcare industry, the most important moments of a parent seeking childcare are the first moments they enter your facility. All the senses are at work for a prospective parent: the smell upon entering the doors; the cleanliness and look of the walls and floors; the dress of the office and teaching staff; and the sounds of the children and the way that the teachers talk to them.

The most important thing to remember when standing in front of that parent or client is “NO ONE CARES HOW MUCH YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE.”

A successful tour will:

• Give parents peace-of-mind that you understand their fears and guilt and that you have a solution to uncertainty.
• Welcome parents with a smile and a greeting that shows confidence and warmth.
• Help parents feel at ease with a casual tone and light-hearted humor.
• Ask questions to help you get a better idea of the parents, child, and situation: “Is this your child’s first childcare experience?” “Not a babysitter, or a house but a center?” Refer to their answer – yes or no- throughout the tour.
• Give parents the “50 Questions” document and be prepared to answer their questions and address their concerns.
• If parents are comparing child care facilities, use the information parents provided about the other facility to show the difference in your facility, without putting down the other center.

These are several examples of how to conduct a successful tour. To get the complete procedure and script for the tour, order the “create a better day care” program today.
