Onboarding a New Instructor: What to Check Before Their First Solo Class
A new instructor is ready to take a class alone when they can run your centre’s routines without being prompted, not when they have finished reading the handbook. Watch them across a short ladder of sessions, name what you are checking at each rung, and give the verdict on a date you set in advance.
An Instructor Calls In Sick Two Hours Before Class. Cover, Cancel, or Move It?
When an instructor cannot teach today, the workable answer is almost always a cover arrangement you set up earlier, not a substitute found in the next hour. Decide by class type: a play or activity session covers well, a graded one usually does not. Cancel early and openly rather than late and quietly.
How to Hire a Tentor for a Bimbel, and What the Trial Lesson Actually Tells You
Watch the candidate teach one real lesson to your real students, on a topic from your own syllabus, before you agree to anything. A CV tells you which subjects someone can cover and nothing about whether they can hold the room. The rest of the answer arrives in their first term, in three places you can check.
A Teacher Just Resigned Mid-Term. What to Do First, and What to Tell Parents
Settle the last teaching date in writing before anything else, because a voluntary resignation in Indonesia carries a written notice of at least 30 days and a duty to keep working until that date. Fix cover next, then tell the affected class yourself. Parents forgive a departure; they leave over hearing it late.
Staff-to-Child Ratios for Indonesian Daycares and PAUD Centres
Indonesia's national PAUD standards set maximum caregiver-to-child ratios for PAUD and daycare: one caregiver for every four children aged birth to two years, one for every eight children aged two to four years, and one for every fifteen children aged four to six years. Meeting these ratios shapes your staffing, scheduling, and enrolment caps.
Managing Childcare Staff: Scheduling, Training, and Retention Tips
Managing childcare staff well rests on three pillars, namely maintaining proper staff-to-child ratios, investing in ongoing training, and retaining good people through fair pay, growth paths, and tools that reduce admin work. Scheduling software helps keep ratios compliant throughout the day.
