A Must-Have for Safe, Trusted Spaces
Childcare centres run on trust. Parents expect a safe, spotless, fully compliant space — every single day. For facility management (FM) companies, that means one thing: maintenance needs to be proactive, consistent, and accountable.
Missed tasks aren’t just mistakes — they’re potential safety risks and compliance failures. That’s why the smartest FM providers are turning to Eaco to manage maintenance schedules across every childcare centre they service.
Why Maintenance in Childcare Isn’t Optional
Strict Compliance = Zero Room for Error
Childcare centres are governed by licensing authorities and early learning regulations. Every system — from fire alarms to food storage — must meet exacting standards. Eaco gives FM teams clear, automated task lists, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Health, Hygiene and Safety
From shared toys to outdoor play surfaces, there are dozens of high-risk touchpoints. Eaco lets you assign cleaning and inspection jobs by frequency, track completion in real-time, and store evidence (like photos and checklists) for proof of service.
Reputation is Everything
A childcare centre’s success is built on parental confidence. With Eaco, FM teams can share job history, provide transparent updates, and respond faster, helping their clients build lasting trust.
