Schools and Pre-Schools – Do You Use Demographics and Data in Making Major Decisions?
If you work in school Advancement, or operate preschool, do you use data and analysis to ensure you make the best decisions? How costly can it be if you get it wrong?
Spectrum Analysis has been operating for over 25 years, and has a niche business in schools demographic analysis, preschool and early education. We have been working for the last 10 years with many major schools across Australia, and have developed a suit of products to assist with major investment decisions and Strategic Planning.
The same logic we use for schools applies to the Preschools & Childcare markets, where we can measure supply & 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.
Spectrum’s 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 allows us to identify areas of high growth, along with areas which are short in provision of child minding and preschool at present.
By using Spectrum Analysis, it minimizes the risk in investing into these markets by ensuring you have good transparency into the data around your area and increases the probability of success with your new ventures into Childcare and Early learning.
An example of one of our datasets in our online mapping gives you a good feel for the area of interest:
Spectrum Analysis is based in Melbourne, with school clients all across Australia, along with other clients internationally. We are Chapter sponsors of Educate Plus (Vic/Tas), members of CDN, Australian Childcare Alliance, the Franchise Council of Australia and other organisations.
Please feel free to give me a call to discuss any needs in demographics, mapping and analysis for schools.
