3 Real Breakthrough Benefits of an Employee Handbook

As mentioned above, a Childcare Employee Handbook will improve many areas in your child care business. One crucial benefit is that your team will instantly know what is expected of them. Setting benchmarks for your team is crucial.

Many Childcare centers do not operate as efficiently as they could because their team have not been told the specifics including the rules and expected level of care.

You must be specific.

Below are 3 real benefits you will immediately notice when you prepare and mobilize an Employee Handbook in your Childcare center.

Benefit 1: Sets the benchmark for improved care and parent/carer customer service

As you already know, quality care and excellent customer service are the keys to operating a successful Childcare. Your business revolves around children and providing the very best care for them.

Providing every single child with the best experience and care should be your goal. If it isn’t, your business will struggle to compete and in the end struggle to survive.

Providing high standards through your team is certainly not easy. Set the standards for your team with a reference tool that communicates specific details.

Benefit 2: You will be building authentic trust with parents/carers

A successful Childcare is all built around trust. Being authentic and building trust is key to ensuring the children and parents/carers are happy and satisfied, which in turn, builds your Childcare business in all areas.

You must retain those families for your business to survive. Retaining customers ensures your business receives regular cash flow. Without retaining customers, you will struggle to meet your basic expenses such as rent and payroll.

Customers love consistency and this is the reason they return.

But how on earth can you build trust with your customers through your team? It’s not easy. But it is possible. An Employee Manual is an excellent tool to start the process. It helps to ensure your team are delivering consistently every single day.

Benefit 3: Stops you repeating yourself

A good friend of mine once told me if you don’t want to repeat yourself, don’t have kids or run a business! How true this is. Implementing an employee handbook means you will reduce the amount of times you need to repeat yourself.

You must ensure the detail is provided and then refer your team to your employee manual.

Make sure you always refer to the Employee Handbook when your team ask you questions. It must be continually reviewed and updated and you must also use your team to contribute to this task.

You can’t do it all yourself, but you can set the wheels in motion and provide the direction. Take it seriously and then your team will also take it seriously. This is the key to a much better performing Childcare business in all areas.

You should have checklists for all tasks in your business if you want to lift the overall standard and create an environment of excellence in your Childcare.

Checklist Example 01 – Answering The Phone

An Answering the Phone Checklist in a Childcare center ensures staff handle calls professionally by including steps like greeting callers warmly, gathering essential information, and addressing inquiries efficiently. This helps maintain a positive first impression, improves communication with parents, and ensures important messages are recorded accurately.

Checklist Example 02 – Preparing Children for Rest

A Checklist for Preparing Children for Rest in a Childcare center ensures a smooth and consistent routine by outlining key steps like dimming lights, providing comfort items, and maintaining a calm environment.

This helps educators reduce disruptions, support children’s well-being, and create a predictable rest period that benefits both staff and children.

Lastly, you can also use these checklists as a performance monitoring tool. If you have a team member that seems disinterested in their job, then referring their performance to checklists amongst other things is a great way to help them realize where they need improvement.
