Common Financial Challenges
Childcare, early learning and family day care businesses may deal with:
staffing and wages
occupancy or enrolment levels
operating costs
equipment and educational resources
rent or home-based operating costs
cash flow
payroll
taxation
record keeping
business growth
expansion
understanding whether the service is operating profitably.
Family Day Care
Family day care is deliberately included as its own important part of this category.
An independent family day care educator may operate very differently from a large childcare centre.
The accounting needs may involve areas such as:
business income
home-based operating expenses
record keeping
equipment and resources
motor-vehicle or travel-related records where applicable
GST and taxation considerations
cash flow
separating personal and business transactions.
The level of support should therefore reflect the actual size and circumstances of the educator's business rather than treating every childcare provider the same way.
How SKC Accounting Can Help
