03 OctDoes your service need a roadmap to Early Years Management?

Posted on 03 Oct 2023

The decision to embrace Early Years Management (EYM) is an exciting opportunity for standalone kindergartens.

An EYM is a local government or community-based organisation that provides professional leadership and centralised management of kindergarten services plus greater resources. EYMs can elevate the quality of educational programs, strengthen community connections, and create a nurturing environment that truly benefits your children and families.

ELAA has developed an EYM Transition Guide to support committees of management (CoM) of stand-alone kindergartens considering or in the process of transitioning to an Early Years Management (EYM) organisation.

This guide provides information and guidance about:

  • the benefits of EYM
  • when to consider transitioning to an EYM organisation
  • factors to consider when choosing an EYM organisation
  • how to ensure a successful transfer of responsibilities to an EYM organisation
  • where to find further information and support.

Transitioning to Early Years Management streamlines administrative processes and improves financial management, freeing up valuable time for your education and care staff to focus on what they do best: nurturing and educating your children.
