Built for independent Providers.
You run one Service, or two, or three. You're often in the Service yourself. You know the families and the Educators by name. You wear every hat - director, finance, hiring, parent communication, compliance and you don't have time for industry reading.
You're not in the same business as G8 Education, Affinity Education, or Busy Bees. You don't need a five-year strategy paper. You need clear commercial thinking, paced for sustainability, that helps you make better decisions one week at a time. The Weekly Lens is built for you.
About Mark Evans
For more than 20 years, Mark has worked with and supported early childhood education and care providers across Australia through project management, practical guidance, operational insight, and a deep understanding of the realities of running a service.
Beginning his career as Project Manager for a small group of long day care and OSHC services on the Central Coast of NSW, Mark went on to found Childcare Centre Desktop in 2010, now one of Australia's most trusted support platforms for the sector.
Through The Weekly Lens, he is also now sharing his attention to the growing commercial challenges facing small providers, delivering independent financial and strategic guidance through consistent commercial insight, decision-support thinking, and practical implementation actions.
This support has intentionally been designed to remain highly affordable. Mark continues to believe that every ECEC service regardless of size, location, or financial position should have access to meaningful support without hesitation or constraint.
Every week, he sits down with what's actually happening in the sector and writes one piece of commercial thinking worth acting on.
No team of ghost-writers. No recycled content. One operator's perspective, shared with operators.
