More insight…more easily
At CareforKids.com.au we work hard to provide resources which support and inform parents searching for early childhood education and care.
Recent survey findings have shown that parents looking for child care are unclear about the government's National Quality Standards, what they are used for, how the assessments are conducted and what the results mean.
