Child Care Strategic Plan

KidCentric has developed a Child Care Strategic Plan to help child care providers develop a Strategic Plan for their child care program. A Strategic Plan can help you to become more proactive in your management.It will help you assess where your program is going over the next 3 to 5 years, how you will get there, and how you will know if you arrived.

This 2-document packet contains a Strategic Plan template (9 pages) that you can fill out with your own program's information. It also contains "Developing Your Strategic Plan"; an 8-page guide to help you understand what a Strategic Plan is, why you need one, and what it will take to do it. It takes you step-by-step through our template to ensure you understand exactly how to write your own Strategic Plan. You will be able to write your vision statement, mission statement, and core values. You will learn to conduct a SWOT Analysis and use your findings to develop your program goals, with objectives and strategies to meet those goals. Additionally, this document will fulfill the Pennsylvania Keystone Stars (Star 4) requirement for a Strategic Plan.

The KidCentric Child Care Strategic Plan is available for purchase and immediate download at www.DayCareTools.com for $35.00.
