September is definitely an exciting month and there's no denying ECD owners know exactly how to make the most for Spring day activities, Heritage day celebrations and get graduation rehearsals and prep in full swing!
But here's where most miss one of the biggest entrepreneurial opportunities of the year. This final quarter is your golden moment as a business but most owners get caught up being an educator that they forget they are also entrepreneurs. If we want to raise our standard for the new year we have to do more than hope and wish.
Here are our top 3 things ECD owners should be doing this month;
1. Partnering - send out sponsor invites to retailers and suppliers for partnerships, contributions, sponsors or even donations. This helps towards your year end graduations, replenishment or restorations for the new year.
2. Connecting - this is when your center really needs to shine especially if you want to encourage new enrollments for 2027! Post daily on social media and community WhatsApp & facebook groups. Share exciting moments, activities, funny stories or just the daily routine - the point is to be visible, get noticed and build trust in the community and with parents.
3. Marketing & Advertising - this doesn't start in December & January, this starts now. Schedule an open day, invite parents to come view or send their kids for a free play day, advertise holiday care programs for December, specials for early enrollments or registration discounts.
If we want to be recognized as professionals in the industry then we need to start taking the right steps in that direction.
Join our ECD Business Challenge where we show you the exact steps to end this year prepared so you can start the new one powerful.
