TORONTO, July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2019 North American Child Care Sector Benchmark Survey is now available, presenting survey responses from owners and directors about their operations, financials, outlook and more.
"Our goal is to help early childhood professionals assess their operational and financial performance relative to their peer group, as well as provide forward-looking insight into growth plans and outlook for the coming year," explains HiMama CEO, Ron Spreeuwenberg.
Highlights from the 2019 edition include:
- 57% of child care centers have less staff employed than they need.
- 90% of owners and directors have a positive outlook for 2019.
- Customer satisfaction was ranked the #1 priority for 2019.
- Labor is the #1 risk child care centers are facing.
For the first time ever, HiMama has partnered with another organization to co-produce the Benchmark Report. Kris Murray — President and Founder of the Child Care Success Company and host of the annual Child Care Success Summit — has helped to provide additional questioning and analysis to make the 2019 edition the most data-packed Benchmark to date.
Extra attention was given this year towards staffing, including motivation techniques, turnover rates, salaries and staffing levels. With employee burnout being such a pervasive problem in the industry, the 2019 report provides much-needed insight on this issue to help understand how others are affected and where efforts should be placed moving forward.
