Timiskaming Child Care (TCC) Strategic Planning and Community Engagement
How might we develop a strategic framework that adapts to evolving community needs, strengthens governance, and fosters partnerships to support sustainable growth for childcare services in Northern Ontario?
DOYON+ collaborated with Timiskaming Child Care (TCC) to develop a strategic plan that would reflect evolving community needs, strengthen governance, and provide a sustainable growth framework. TCC, a childcare provider in Northern Ontario, faced challenges in governance and resource allocation, and needed a plan to clarify organizational priorities, support collaboration with local partners, and address service expansion.
DOYON+ structured a process focused on stakeholder engagement and data-driven insights. This included surveys, workshops, and community sessions to identify key priorities, align them with TCC’s mission, and foster partnerships. The strategic planning process enabled TCC to clearly articulate its mission and improve resource allocation, resulting in enhanced collaboration with health and education partners. This project underscored the value of a feedback-driven approach and a collaborative planning process for resilient, community-focused organizations.
