Are you faced with the task of budgeting for your organisation, but don't know where to start? This toolkit will help you plan, develop and use budgets effectively, and includes guidelines and working report templates. If you have a sound understanding of the principles of budgeting, you will be well on the way to sound financial management.

NOTE: We are currently updating this guide. Please email us at info@cela.org.au if you would like to be put on a waiting list to receive the updated version once it's back in stock.

Essential Guide is the go-to guide for managing an early eduation and care service in NSW. Jam packed with user-friendly information, sample forms, tools, checklists and references, it's the book that every director in NSW should have on their desk. 

Are you working with a management committee or about to have new members join?

CELA’s Guide to Effective Committees summarises the key information you need when it comes to working with or running an effective committee.

At a time when many new educators are being employed, and many existing educators are being promoted to leadership positions, this issue of Rattler includes some great articles focused on supporting new educators and leaders in our sector.

We hope that you enjoy this issue of Rattler, which begins with a spotlight on CELA member The Point Preschool, defined by a supportive culture and creative approach, and share the story of how a "Spectacular Find" in a sandpit led to a STEM award.
