Dropping off children at a care centre is an everyday ritual for millions of Australian families. Notably, most parents choose a specific facility for various reasons, ranging from cost and location to value and program focus. However, one thing that remains universal is that all parents expect their kids to have fun, grow and develop in the company of affectionate caregivers. Sadly, the search for a centre providing high-quality programs is often uncertain since parents lack the necessary tools to gauge program quality.
