A school day is hard on a building. Lunchboxes spill, art lessons leave paint on benches, and the same bubblers, rails and door handles are touched by every student who passes. In a childcare room, little ones are on the floor and their hands go everywhere. Gaps in cleaning show up fast, and parents notice.
Principals, business managers and centre directors also need to know exactly who is on site after the children leave. That means people who have been checked, who come back each week, and who are supervised.
Holidays bring their own pressure. The breaks are the main chance to get carpets, floors and windows done properly. Leave the booking too late and the work slides into the next term.
