What “improvement support” actually covers

Centers typically engage us for combinations of: enrollment & admissions systems, curriculum planning and classroom practice, teaching approaches and routines, environment redesign, management systems & SOPs, workforce & HR foundations, safeguarding/health & safety compliance, and training/CPD planning — with ECRA as the measurement and accountability framework.
