Entering your child into Child Care for the first time can be a daunting task; one which needs to be thoroughly investigated to make sure you make the right decision for your child's wellbeing as well as giving you, the parent, piece of mind. There are many contributing factors that come into consideration when choosing the right facility for your child's first introduction into education and their interaction with other children and adults.

• Location - you'll most likely be searching for a facility located close to either your home or work.
• Availability - once you narrow your facility selection down, it then comes down to the facilities days available, either part time or full time care.
• Reputation - you want your child attending a reputable facility.
• Environment - you want your child to feel safe and nurtured in the new environment as well as having the right level of activities to stimulate your child's imagination.
• Professional carers who encourage children to enjoy their time at Child Care
• Accreditation for the facility

Some studies have shown that behavioural problems in school age children may be associated with early long child care for some children. However, high quality Child Care is accredited to helping many children develop the necessary skills in interacting with other children and progressing them on the correct path.

SchoolsLocator.com.au is dedicated to providing parents with the required information to make this process easier than it normally would be. The Child Care facilities listed within the SchoolsLocator.com.au directory are varied in both location and reputation. We pride ourselves however in being able to provide user generated feedback on these facilities to help guide you in your process.

One of the greatest guidance methods in making the decision on Child Care or any educational facility is communicating with other people who are going through, or have been through the same process you are right now.

During your investigations on your local facilities, read the feedback and reviews other community members have added, or if you have information you feel will help others on their journey, add your review for them to read.
