New Year’s Day symbolizes a fresh start, giving us a chance to look at what we’ve done in the past year and motivating ourselves to do it better this time around.
As a childcare center manager, it’s likely that a single resolution won’t do. When you’re running a business with so many moving parts, there are bound to be multiple areas for improvement.
Here are 4 resolutions that can greatly benefit your childcare center in 2016:
Reduce paperwork
From managing the schedules of both children and staff to documenting parents’ payments, manual processes amount to a lot of paper and countless hours of time. EZ-CARE takes an innovative approach to these time-consuming tasks by offering ways to simplify scheduling, automate payments, and move your administrative tasks to a safe and efficient online platform.
Boost revenue
Your childcare center could make more money in 2016 if you:
- Switch from checks to online payments
- Perfect your staff-to-child ratio
- Communicate new program options to parents
Increase enrollment
The first step to increasing enrollment is determining which classes have room for more students. With EZ-CARE’s smart scheduling and wait-list feature, step one is simple! From there, your childcare center can grow through parent referrals, email marketing, and advertisements targeting your local community. Check out these 5 helpful tips.
Stay in touch
Your childcare center’s greatest key to growth is a glittering recommendation from parents who use your services. Because there’s such a high level of trust around choosing a childcare center, parents look to friends and family for guidance. Maintaining a good relationship with parents is all about communication.
Communication should be current, outlining any updates or upcoming events so parents feel in-the-know at all times. Additionally, communication should be heartfelt, showing parents that children are happy and in good hands so parents can feel good about choosing your center to care for their precious little ones. Here’s how EZ-CARE makes effective parent communication a breeze.
