Hello friends!
I am in the early stages of budgeting/forecasting/planning for a child care center my wife and I plan to open, and have a few questions for you all.
When it comes to scheduling I know that I have to plan for enough teachers to cover minimum ratios, so it's fairly simple for me to estimate/calculate MOST of our teacher staffing needs.
My biggest source of uncertainty is with respect to what to assume when scheduling additional support teachers. I know that I'll need more teachers in the building than required by minimum ratios to cover, for example, in cases where there's an absent teacher, or when teachers need to take their breaks, but I don't know how many more teachers I'll need.
If anyone can offer me insight into how you schedule these additional teachers beyond minimum ratios, I would be super grateful! Bonus points if you are nerdy (like me) and you'd be willing to share some sort of Excel spreadsheet you've made to help you manage scheduling.
Thanks so much!
