It generates cost-based funding allocations for 2026 while reconciling funding provided against actual costs mid-year and at year-end for 2025. Ensure accurate cash management and identify overpayment amounts with included expert support to ensure accurate operator inputs and SSM outputs.

It analyzes financial returns using seven research-driven key indicators aligned with Canadian benchmarks, and generates a composite financial index score to clearly indicate an organization’s overall financial status. Municipal Service Managers can use this tool to allocate funding to financially sound child care operators, ensuring a stable and robust system. We also design custom organizational viability tools for other social sectors. Reach out if you’re interested in co-designing custom tools.
