2012 -2016
Introduction
Since 2008-9 there has been a strong and steady improvement in all aspects of the organisation from board governance to financial management, professional development of our staff, quality of our buildings and communication.
During 2010-2011 we have seen further government intervention via funding cuts and the ECE Task Force which has created considerable unrest in ECE services and is seen by some as driving our community minded service to consider a more business oriented approach to the future. Several kindergarten associations have already taken the step to introduce all day centres, and some have tried to set up home based care.
Although we still await any impact of these possible changes it is important that the board plan as well as possible for the future, looking to improve the educational and physical conditions in our kindergartens whilst maintaining a prudent fiscal approach.
The 5 year strategic plan developed by the board is shown below and a separate annual plan shows the objectives for the 2012 year.
