In 2004, Education, Culture and Employment produced and distributed a set of resources for licensed non-profit “boards” (this includes Advisory Committees or any other legal organization operating, or overseeing the operation of a child care centre in the Northwest Territories) to assist them in the administration and management of a child care centre. The resources distributed were the Administration and Management Manual and the Child Care Board Resource Toolkit.
 

For your convenience, the Administration and Management Manual is now also featured on our website under the Publications. By featuring this manual in a PDF version we hope to provide easy access to information for all Board members.
 

The Administration and Management Manual and the Child Care Board Resource Toolkit are designed to provide the Boards with a guide that can be used to develop day-to-day operations and decision-making tools. The Manuals can be used to orient new Board members and new staff members and they ensure that documents can be found when needed.
 

 Child Care Centre Boards in the Northwest Territories face rewards and challenges as they provide an important and essential service to families in the communities: care of children. Each Board and staff member must be mindful of their responsibility. It is recommended that Board members consult the Information For Child Care Providers section of this website to learn about what is expected of their childcare operation.
 

If a Child Care Centre Board would like assistance with the development or review process, please contact your Regional Early Childhood Consultant.
