Share Costs and Services to Sustain High-Quality ECE Programs Through Shared Services, by Louise Stoney

Shared Service Alliance is a community-based partnership comprised of small businesses (tax paying and non-profit) that share costs and deliver services more efficiently and effectively. By participating in an alliance, small early care and education (ECE) businesses become stronger, more efficient, and more capable of offering affordable, high-quality ECE programs. This webinar will focus on the core values of the Shared Services movement (see below) and describe a range of ways that alliances across the U.S. have made these values a central part of their work:

• Every director deserves an administrative team.

  

• Every teacher deserves pedagogical leadership.

• Every child deserves a reflective teacher.

Learning Objectives:

1. Webinar participants will know what Shared Services is and is not, and understand a variety of ways that a network of center-or home-based providers can share costs.

2. Webinar participants will have a basic understanding of the terms business leadership and pedagogical leadership, why each type of leadership is essential to success, and ways that leadership can be shared among a network of providers.

3. Webinar participants will have concrete examples of successful Shared Service Alliances that use a variety of approaches, including access to written resources about their work.
