Centre Director Diaries by Butler Diaries

Simplify your systems. Strengthen your leadership.

As a Centre Director, your role spans everything — programming, compliance, communication, and leadership. That’s why you need tools that bring it all together. Our Director Diaries are built to make documentation, communication, and quality assurance not just manageable, but meaningful.

These diaries are more than planners — they’re leadership tools, designed to:

  • Oversee programming and reflection across rooms with clear, structured layouts
  • Support educators in aligning their documentation with EYLF v2.0 and NQS
  • Track goals, meetings, and compliance tasks with ease
  • Record critical reflection and quality improvement evidence for Assessment and Rating

Every service has a unique rhythm, and your diary should reflect that. Directors use their diaries in different ways — some for team programming oversight, others as a reflective leadership log or service journal. However you use it, your diary keeps your focus clear and your service aligned.

When your systems are consistent, your team thrives — and so does your service.

Explore the Diaries for Centre Directors collection to find the tools that will help you lead with intention and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

They’re made for Centre Directors, Assistant Directors, and Nominated Supervisors who oversee daily operations, compliance, programming, and team development in Early Learning Services.

Layouts align with Regulations 73–76 and Quality Area 1, with sections to support reflective practice, goal-setting, and evidence gathering for Quality Improvement Plans (QIP) and Assessment and Rating.

Yes. Director Diaries are designed to complement educator and room diaries, making it easy to oversee programming and reflection while keeping your own leadership notes in one place.

Absolutely — while the printed structure remains consistent, you can personalise your diary through how you use it: colour-coding rooms, using stickers, dividing sections, or adding clip-in pages for team meetings or compliance tracking.

The Children’s Centre Diary supports Directors overseeing multiple rooms and educators, offering weekly programming and reflection layouts, while diaries like the Educational Leader Diary and Nominated Supervisor Diary provide focused tools for mentoring, guidance, and regulation tracking.

Butlers Diaries

I've been purchasing Program and reflection diaries from Butlers for many years, and I wouldn't purchase them from anywhere else. They have everything you need to do a complete program. The new column on the end "Extension experiences etc is a great addition. The jotters notebok is a good size for carrying arund through out the day, to make notes, write ideas and write brief observations.

Best Reflection Diary Ever!

This book is the best and most simple diary to follow to do my reflecting on everything. So pleased to be able to use it.

Rachel Patchett
2024 6 Month Weekly Programming and Reflection Child Educator Diary
Best thing ever

The Exceeding Guidance for the National Quality Standard: Evidence Summary is a really great book for centres that repeat on one standards instead of exploring others to make the childcare place a better place for children. The resources in this book are a really big help in order to meet our standards.
