Developing professional documentation
Professional documentation is an integral and important part of practice for all early childhood institutions.
Types of professional documentation that you may require include a service philosophy, policies and procedures, parent and educator handbooks and curriculum material.
Policies ensure that stand alone services and multi-sites, operate in a more consistent and measurable manner. By implementing policies, regularly reviewing and updating them, educators and staff can adopt a more professional and transparent working environment. This practice will enable all educators to understand their required expectations.
We can create and customise all required professional documentation to meet the requirements of your particular service.
Review and develop human resources documents and processes section
We can assist you to develop a strong team spirit, encourage ownership and achieve positive outcomes for children and families. We can mentor and teach how to recruit educators and team members that align with your values and centre philosophy and community. We can assist you with position descriptions, orientation process and documentation, appraisal documents and processes and relevant policy documents.
Audit & Checklists:
At Early Childhood Services Australia we believe that a review system of current practices is a valuable method to constantly seek strategies for improvement. An audit or checklist document provides feedback on quality outcomes and guides areas for improvement.
A service which celebrates and highlights innovative ideas and practices for the benefit of children’s care, learning and development, will have a positive impact on families and your preschools endorsement. This recognition has an ultimate impact on the services reputation and demand for a preferred preschool.
Audit & Checklists:
Use audits, checklists as a method of recognising excellence and good performance and to improve outcomes by educating families about high quality practices and care, promoting what makes you and your service a front–runner in the industry with your community.
