3.2 Budgeting in Childcare

In this activity, you will consider the costs you may incur in your centre. 

1. Reflect on the costs outlined in this section, and consider what other expenses you might have that are not on that list. 
2. Consider what is important to you, your staff, families and children. Rank these priorities 1 through 10. If having extra Educators (above minimum licensing regulations) in the room is a big priority, rank that #1.
3. Is this where you are spending the money? 
4. What opportunities are there for additional funding streams? Are you accessing all the opportunities outlined in this course?
