Strategy News for Schools – 38th Edition

Hello

Is demographic data available for preschools, child care centres, kindergartens and Early Learning Centres (ELC’s) and can it be used for making well-informed business decisions?

Yes!

If you operate or are considering opening a new preschool, child care centre, kindergarten or Early Learning Centre, it can be a very costly exercise if you make decisions without reliable facts and data.

Spectrum Analysis has been providing geodemographic modelling and analysis services since 1996. We have been working with many major schools across Australia for the last 10 years and have developed a suite of products to assist with major investment decisions and strategic planning.

We have also been working with a couple of ELC / Preschool operators and are now expanding further in this area.

The same principles we use for schools applies to the early education sector. We can measure supply and demand for any area and provide the demographic data to assist with the justification of new facilities or major enlargements.

Whether it is an internal project, a report needed for a bank or finance justification or an internal review of future enrolments and marketing, we have developed tools to assist you.

Our easy-to-use mapping includes being able to visualise data on 17,000+ Childcare, ELC’s and Kindergartens across Australia and see the population projections (by age group) as provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Our algorithms allow us to identify areas of high growth and high demand based on the numbers of local residents and local parents working in the area.

Our specialist services can minimise your investment risk and provide data transparency within your area and increase the probability of success with your new ventures. 

You can see an example of one of our datasets in the fictitious ‘Jells Early Learning Centre’ sample Online Map at https://geo.spectrumanalysis.com.au/mapserver/JellsELC/Map.html
