- Better communication
Communication is the cornerstone to happy parents, kids and staff. They like to feel involved and connected to their child at daycare. Storypark is an app that helps families to keep connected with their child and their educators. This secure and private app allows educators to post updates on a child’s day complete with photos and videos, share learning and development stories and communicate important news in real time. www.storypark.com/au/
2. Services
Services offer parents additional value which will lead to higher levels of customer satisfaction. This in turn should ultimately lead to higher occupancy and enhanced profitability.
- Cloth nappies
With more parents becoming environmentally conscious this is one area that you can make a difference. Why not look into cloth nappies. lavenderia.com.au can provide your centre with hygienically clean and easy to use modern cloth nappies. With every disposable nappy ever used still rotting somewhere in landfill, there has never been a better time or reason to make the switch!
- Linen
Having a recommended linen provider for your centre ensures not only that the sheets fit your beds but makes starting childcare easy for the parents. Most parents prefer to be given everything or be told where to buy it. The advantage to this is that children can learn to put them on themselves freeing up the teachers. www.linique.com.au
