Your Resource
Library

Everything you need to lead your team, support your educators and strengthen your service. Practical HR tools, frameworks and guides built for early childhood leaders.

Topics

HR Fundamentals

The groundwork every service needs: plain-language award summaries, a classification record for your team and a 20-question HR health check.

Recruitment

Attract and hire the right educators, with position descriptions, interview guides and selection tools built for early learning.

Onboarding

Set new educators up from day one, with a 90-day planner, induction checklists and buddy briefings so they walk in knowing what's expected.

Probationary Periods

Run the first six months with structure: scripted check-ins, confirmation letters, an improvement plan builder, and a Fair Work defensible warning letter generator for when things go off track.

Team Management

Run better one-on-ones, set development goals tied to outcomes for children, and build 70/20/10 plans your team actually uses.

Giving Effective Feedback

Plan the conversation before you walk in, with ready-to-use scripts and COIN-model guides translated for early learning.

Performance Reviews

Set goals tied to your QIP, run structured reviews and give educators a self-assessment beforehand so nothing is a surprise.

Pay Reviews

Get pay right so it isn't an issue, with planning guides, letter templates, benefits designers and a team-facing pay and benefits handbook.

Creating Culture

Design culture as observable behaviours and turn the output into a guidebook educators actually use.

Policies and Compliance

Draft 18 policies in your own voice, audit psychosocial hazards and build the sexual harassment prevention plan the positive duty requires.

Employee Exits

Finish well, with tailored offboarding checklists, exit interviews that surface patterns and templates for every moment from resignation to post-exit.

HR Leadership Training

Leadership fundamentals for every Service Manager: question banks, pre-mortems, communication standards and a scenario library for the tricky people situations.
