Early Learning Centre Directors are finding it hard to make their centre shine

If you are the owner, manager or director of an early learning centre, you may be increasingly aware of how many new long daycare facilities have opened in your district in the past couple of years. Maybe you’ve watched your numbers starting to fluctuate and you’re concerned about retaining your best staff that you’ve nurtured over the years. Read on for a way to improve your offering.

Stand out with a distinctive approach

It’s great to see that governments are giving more generously to support early learning centre programs for 3 and 4 year-olds. However, it’s a worry that supply might outstrip demand as new facilities pop up and existing ones expand.

In an over-crowded marketplace, one solution is to offer a distinctive approach to your early learning centre curriculum. Many are turning towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). One further step in this trend is to include Arts and make it a STEAM rich curriculum. Music and movement are two areas of the arts that are perfectly suited to early childhood.

One problem is that staff don’t see themselves as musical

The trouble with running a music and movement program is that many staff members don’t see themselves as expert enough to be successful. Whenever they sing or move they just feel silly. The problem, and we hear it all the time, is that educators find it difficult to know just what to do. The reason is that they have never been taught enough about music education to develop and deliver a practical, down-to-earth program.

But parents know that music is important

Meanwhile, the research in neuroscience is hard to ignore. Parents are constantly seeing articles about how learning music and movement hardwires a child’s brain for better learning, language and health outcomes that continue right throughout the lifespan. And so, to cater to parents’ desires, many centres engage sub-contractors to offer music or dance programs.

You can change your educators’ minds

But imagine if you could support your staff with a music and movement curriculum that gives them enough scaffolding to embed music and movement in your early learning centre for each and every child with no extra fees for the parents. Your staff could engage with the children every day in meaningful music and movement activities. And you could give your staff all the music and activities they need in one big resource file.
