Getting Organized
November 7, 2013
Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.
-Thomas Fuller

In his article, "SCOPE is Marketing," which forms the basis for the newest Exchange Out of the Box Training Kit: An Organized Environment Markets Your Program, Dennis Vicars talks about the importance of having an organized environment...

"ECE professionals are pack rats by nature.  We throw out nothing and believe that someday we will use everything we keep.  All too often we allow these materials to creep out of the shelves, closets, bookshelves, boxes, and cubbies making our rooms and offices look like the neighborhood yard sale.  To a parent’s eye, we look disorganized.

"Organization affects our marketing effort because parental opinions are formed by their first impressions of our programs and classrooms — and second chances are rarely given.  If you can’t find a tour packet, or are unprepared for their visit, they may think, 'If they can’t find paperwork, how are they going to keep track of my child?'  Your level of organization has a huge impact on prospective families."

This may seem unfair, but it's absolutely true. Parents assume that how you take care of your center is how you take care of the kids there - even if what's actually happening is that you are making the children your very highest priority, to the exclusion of day-to-day organizing and housekeeping.
