The Sector has launched its inaugural Child Care Management System (CCMS) Survey, a new initiative designed to provide CCMS users the opportunity to share their day to day experience of using the diverse range of systems currently available across Australia and help shape the future of CCMS development.

The survey, which has been tailor-made with the busy days of ECEC professionals in mind, takes less than a minute to complete and gives those who complete a full entry an opportunity to enter into a $3,000 Multi Prize Draw.

“We are thrilled to launch this new initiative under our The Sector Surveys banner,” Jason Roberts, Founder and CEO of Sector Publishing said.

“Over the course of the last several years the CCMS community and their platforms have evolved significantly as new innovations and technologies have been harnessed to provide a broader range of features and services to their early childhood education and care (ECEC) users across Australia,” he explained.

“Our survey aims to capture the experience of managers, owners and operators who use these systems on a day to day basis, with a view to increasing the quality of information currently available on this important subject and provide our CCMS partners with valuable feedback on their product suites.”

Mr Roberts went on to outline the importance of recognising the value of time spent by sector leaders and professionals to complete the survey, outlining the substantial incentive within the Prize Draw is to recognise this.

“In recognition of just how busy our sector leaders are right now and to express our gratitude for their support, we have added a substantial incentive consisting of 17 cash prizes amounting to $3,000, which we hope will help offset their time working through the questionnaire,” he said.

“This is a really important and interesting project for us and the sector at large and we feel very humbled that we are in a position to ask our thousands of readers to help make a real difference to the overall level of understanding in this key area of a service’s operations.”

In early childhood education and care (ECEC), supporting a successful transition to school is a key priority. High-quality school readiness programs aim to prepare children holistically, physically, socially and emotionally, and in terms of independence and early learning behaviours. School readiness encompasses a broad combination of capabilities: physical development, social and emotional wellbeing, curiosity and learning dispositions, early literacy and numeracy, self-regulation, and the ability to adapt to a structured environment.
