Opening 12 hour days
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2017 10:38 am
Our centre currently is open from 7:30-5:30. This suits my educators as they work a 10 hour day with paid lunch for 3 days and one 8 hour day with either a Friday or a Monday off giving them a 3 day weekend every weekend, it also ensures continuity for parents because they see the same educator at drop off and pick up.
However, more parents are requesting that we open earlier and close later which would mean opening at 6:30 and closing at 6:30. This would also boost our enrolments as many people in our area work and commute 1.5 hours to Sydney.
Does any one have any roster they would be willing to share so I could present it to my educators for their consideration before we commit to opening the longer hours? We are a 28 place one room service with 2-5 year olds, 3 full time educators (I EC, 1 DIP, 1 CERT III) and one Part time DIP.
Thank you in advance for your help!
