I explored the Early Childhood Australia website. I was really impressed by the research about the flexibility of child care services. This research was done to see how flexible child care services such as length of hours offered and location of services, and also the ability of families to change hours on short notice. This is really important as many parents do not work a typical 9-5 job and may have to drive out of their way to reach a quality child care center. This can make it difficult for families to work and cost more in gas. However, it is also hard for child care centers to offer these longer hours because it means needing staff, who may not want to work earlier or later, and also needing to provide an extra meal such as supper which requires a cook. This is definitely a great topic for research to find the best ways for child care centers to meet the needs of their families.
I was also intrigued by their Digital Business Kit. The website mentioned the kit offers videos and PDFs that provide tips and information for early childcare centers about technology. This would be great to have access to learn about current and new technology for the classrooms and also to help run the center.
