This course takes a close look at the big system level things that need to be in place and working effectively for an ECE service to thrive. 

Attracting and employing people who are the right philosophical fit and with the right set of skills (or the willingness to develop them) makes everything else work more smoothly.

Developing a strong philosophy and aligning ways of working with it, and then having systems that drive and sustain improvement are things that don’t happen by accident. This deep dive course will provide you with the foundations of how to intentionally develop a quality service that serves children, their families and teachers well.

This course includes;

  • Recruitment and finding the right fit for your team.
  • Effective induction.
  • Developing an effective philosophy.
  • Developing and maintaining systems for compliance.
  • Key systems that drive improvement.
  • Useful employment templates for recruitment.
