What’s Inside:

1.    Self-Assessment / QRIS Prep: An annual, rubric-driven evaluation of classroom quality measures—complete with evidence collection and an improvement plan for any scores below target.

2.    Incident & Near-Miss Analysis: A 24-hour form capturing incident details, root-cause analysis, corrective actions with owners, and policy or environment updates to prevent recurrence.

3.    Supply & Equipment Lifecycle Log: A semi-annual inventory recording purchase dates, warranty terms, and replacement schedules for major assets to ensure budget-on-time renewals.

4.    Marketing & Waitlist Tracker: A weekly funnel tracker logging lead sources, tour outcomes, follow-ups, and enrollment conversions to measure marketing ROI and demand.

5.    Community Partnership Outreach: A monthly contact log of local schools, libraries, and agencies, tracking collaboration discussions, joint events, and resource-sharing opportunities.

6.    Annual SWOT & Goal-Setting Worksheet: A leadership retreat tool that guides teams through identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, then setting three strategic goals with owners.

7.    Family Outcome Goal Progress Sheet: A quarterly metrics dashboard comparing parent-reported satisfaction and emergent-readiness data to baseline targets and guiding strategy adjustments.

8.    Curriculum Fidelity Observation Tool: A biannual, 30-minute classroom observation using a fidelity rubric to verify curriculum delivery and trigger targeted coaching if scores fall below standard.

9.    Green & Sustainability Practices Audit: An annual Earth-Month review of energy use, recycling rates, and water/paper-saving measures to support eco-certification and sustainability goals.

10. Annual Budget vs. Actual Checklist: A quarterly financial review that lines up actual spend versus budgeted amounts, flags variances over 10 %, and records narrative explanations for each.

11. Stakeholder Feedback Loop Tracker: An ongoing log of suggestions from staff, families, and partners—assigning action owners, tracking status, and documenting why items are completed or declined.
