Role workflow · Centre-wide oversight

Director

Calm operational oversight of the whole centre. Sees pulse, signals, compliance — not raw documentation about individual children.

Design principleAggregated, not invasive. Sign-off where it matters.
On sign-in

What appears first.

The opening surface is shaped to what this role actually does — never a feed of everything happening in the centre.

  • 03
    Wellbeing signals
    Aggregated indicators of over-extended rooms or staff. Never named without context.

Operational scope

What this role owns. What it doesn't.

Action priorities
  • 01Sign-off where decisions need a human, never as a bottleneck.
  • 02Read pulse before reading detail.
  • 03Protect staff wellbeing as operational data.
  • 04Stay out of educator work unless invited or escalated.
Responsibilities
  • Centre-wide compliance and accountability
  • Incident sign-off and family notification
  • Staffing coverage and roster approvals
  • Wellbeing signals and intervention
  • Audit and regulator readiness
Intentionally hidden

Privacy-first scope. Information removed from this role to reduce cognitive load and protect children & families.

  • Raw observation forms (sees outcomes & patterns)
  • Curated parent moments (private to family)
  • Internal pedagogical reflection drafts
