As a childcare center leader, effectively managing staff is a top priority. Childcare providers are currently facing the issue of hiring, managing, and retaining quality staff members. By implementing new procedures, tools, and resources, you’ll be able to better manage your staff. 

Using a software program like Kangarootime can give you all the tools you need to manage your staff and help them succeed. Your staff can be in control of their classroom and effectively communicate with parents while you manage payroll, scheduling, and more. To learn more about different tools and resources that can improve the working environment at your center, keep reading. 

Classroom Management System

Managing and retaining quality staff members starts with giving them the tools to succeed. A childcare management system is one way to set your staff up for success. This software will allow your teachers to oversee their classrooms, connect with parents, and increase the quality of care for the children all while making their jobs easier. 

With Kangarootime, your staff has access to our Rooming module, giving them an overview of their classroom and each child in it. Here they can record digital daily notes, send photos, message parents, track attendance, and more. This all-in-one hub makes point-of-care easy for your staff.

Staff Scheduling Platform

Staff scheduling doesn’t have to be a hassle for your administrators. Having a clear, concise, and easy-to-use scheduling system can save you hours each week. It can also make it easier for your staff to understand their schedule, track their time worked, request time-off, etc. Kangarootime recently launched a Staff Scheduling platform that allows you to schedule your staff across multiple platforms, approve time-off requests, better understand staff utilization across your center(s), and more.
