Occasional Care

If you own, manage, or work in an occasional care service, or provide occasional care as an Approved Associated Children's Service within a centre, preschool, or kindergarten, you are well aware of the unique challenges that come with this type of service. Unlike traditional centre-based care, occasional care requires a high degree of flexibility to meet the varying needs of children and families.

From managing priority of access and distributing hours to families, to handling casual and regular bookings, session times, and additional support services, the demands on your time and resources can be significant. Butler Diaries understands these challenges and offers a range of tailored early childhood Diaries and resources designed to help you navigate the complexities of occasional care with ease and efficiency.

Our early childhood Diaries are specifically designed to support the flexible nature of occasional care, providing you with the tools you need to keep accurate and organised records. Whether you are tracking attendance for casual bookings, documenting session times, or managing priority of access, our diaries offer a simple and effective way to stay on top of your administrative tasks. By using Butler Diaries, you can ensure that all necessary information is recorded in a clear and concise manner, making it easier to meet regulatory requirements and provide high-quality care. Our Diaries are not only practical but also user-friendly, designed to make record-keeping as straightforward as possible, so you can focus on what really matters—caring for the children and supporting their development.

Our specialised programming and reflection diaries tailored for occasional care services are designed to help educators plan and document learning experiences that cater to the diverse and often unpredictable attendance patterns in occasional care settings. Our programming Diaries provide a structured yet flexible format for creating engaging and developmentally appropriate activities that align with Frameworks, ensuring that even in a casual care environment, children receive high-quality educational experiences. The reflection sections within these Diaries encourage educators to critically evaluate their practice, making it easier to identify areas for improvement and to adapt quickly to the changing needs of children and families. By incorporating our programming and reflection Diaries into your routine, you can maintain a high standard of care and education, even in the dynamic and flexible environment of occasional care.
