Below is a menu listing a range of articles to assist parents and family members in learning more about the childcare and education options available. Teachers and people involved in the early childhood sector will also find it helpful to read about different options. 

A good match between what a family wants and a child likes and the early childhood service selected is important for the arrangement to work well for all parties. Otherwise parents can be faced with an unhappy child, problems to deal with at the service, and the prospect of putting more time and expense into finding a different arrangement.

After looking at the articles listed on this page, we suggest you check out other topic on the ChildForum website such as:  
1.  current issues and problems in the early childhood sector, 
2.  what makes for quality childcare/ECE, and
3.  the costs of childcare and subsidies available.
