We must be aware and c onstantly apply our minds as to the safety of our classroom, our children and the school. If something happens we must feel that it was truly an accident and not that someone was negligent.

Beta 201 – Parents as Clients

The word “excep�onal” is defined as “being out of the ordinary”, be�er as normally found in most circumstances. It is of the utmost importance that teachers, assistants, administra�ve staff and owners understand the importance and implementa�on of excep�onal customer service. We must be aware that parents are our customers because they pay us for our services. We must understand that if they are not sa�sfied with our service they can take their business elsewhere. Which they o�en do! If a parent removes their child from your school because of a staff members conduct towar ds them, the financial loss is substan�ve! A family with one child in your school spends approximately R 20 000.00 – R 36 000.00 a year with you. A family with two children can spend twice as much. If it is a young child that is taken out you can mul�ply that by 4 or five years! It is much more than R 100 000.00 loss! We take pride in our “word of mouth” marke�ng. It is human nature that customers tell a few when they are sa�sfied but many, many more if there has been a nega�ve incident and they rem oved their child. Nursery Schools have been nega�vely impacted by parents using Social Media to blow an incident out of propor�on. The financial expenditure of allowing all your staff to a�end this course is minimal in comparison to the loss that may occur if they are not trained in “Excep�onal Customer Service”. Cost: R420 per person.
