This project ran from August 2004 to August 2006 and led to the creation of the first set of Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators. Project activities included:

• Completing an occupational analysis to develop occupational standards that that reflect best practices in the administration of early childhood education and care.
• Conducting a gaps analysis in education, training and curriculum resources and developing a strategy to address those gaps.
• Addressing the education, training and curriculum resource gaps, by coordinating the sourcing and adaptation of existing resources or development of suitable new resources, materials or tools.

The project resulted in two key resources:

1. Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators
2. Occupational Standards for Child Care Administrators: Task Chart
