The Doodle Bugs! Difference
 At Doodle Bugs!, we’ve created a company that is completely unique from any other early childhood program in the industry. Unlike traditional “daycare providers,” we give careful attention to each and every aspect of the Doodle Bugs! experience. From our innovative programs and state-of-the-art facilities to our successful business model, Doodle Bugs! is years ahead of the competition.
We’re especially proud of the following “doodle differences”:
Innovative Programs - Doodle Bugs! has carved a niche in the local child care market with its unique integration of nontraditional curriculum components, and consistent focus on educational programs. We are committed to providing a dynamic learning environment that supports children’s development and prepares them for future academic successes. Learn more about our innovative Bravo! Curriculum by visiting www.doodlebugs.com.
Extraordinary Facilities - Doodle Bugs! operates clean, secure, state-of-the-art facilities that are well designed and well equipped to meet the daily needs of children, their parents, and the program faculty. Our centers are custom-built and designed to incorporate spacious classrooms, child-friendly interior decor, and large, fully-equipped outdoor playgrounds. Considerable effort is devoted to health and safety standards; Doodle Bugs! utilizes high-quality, child-sized furniture and equipment, and maintains a state-of-the-art security system that uses biometric entry, computerized check-in, and comprehensive internet video surveillance.
Exceptional Teachers - Our commitment to quality child care and education begins with our faculty. Doodle Bugs! therefore focuses on maintaining its reputation as the area’s premier child care employer. Our above-average compensation, benefits package, training program and opportunities for career advancement enable us to attract and retain highly qualified, well-educated and experienced employees. Our benefits package, which includes medical insurance, paid holidays, paid vacation and sick time, child care discounts and 401(k) plan is unusually comprehensive and affordable for employees in the child care industry. These benefits, as well as the Doodle Bugs! training programs, are an important recruitment and retention tool for our company in the relatively low-paying, high-turnover child care industry.
Professional Faculty Training - Doodle Bugs! recognizes that a well-qualified faculty is essential to appropriate curriculum implementation, and that maintaining an above-average faculty requires exceptional management support. We therefore maintain a strong team of management professionals, each of whom takes unique responsibility for the training needs of the teachers. Training, designed to meet both State regulations and additional company standards, is conducted on a regular basis at the corporate training center. Training sessions supplement faculty education with specific instruction in curriculum implementation, health and safety standards, and customer service.
Proven Business Model - Over the past eighteen years, Doodle Bugs! management has formulated a successful business model. In addition to creating an innovative early childhood program, we’ve developed a unique child care business. By vertically integrating many of our company functions, our company has created higher-quality services and reduced operating expenses.
Use of Technology - Doodle Bugs! utilizes computers and other technology to efficiently manage our operations. Computers at each center provide complete record keeping, accounting and operational assistance, and through our wide area network data is uploaded to the corporate office for management use. While technology is not widely used in the child care industry, it provides Doodle Bugs! with a competitive operating advantage.
Continuous Improvement - At Doodle Bugs!, we apply the practice of Continuous Improvement to our operation. We focus on improving the customer value each and every day by encouraging staff initiative, by implementing new ideas, and by providing quality management.
Forward Thinking - Doodle Bugs! recognizes our business practices are much more advanced than those of our competitors, and this provides us with the desire to move even further ahead. Our company is currently developing the Doodle Bugs! Intranet, whereby our administrators and staff will have an efficient internet tool for center management and communication. Our intranet will also allow registered parents to download forms, view photos, pay tuition, and communicate with staff and other parents effectively. We’re always thinking ahead...
