“Childcare isn’t bad for infants and toddlers - provided it is good quality," reports Children’s Commissioner, John Angus today releasing a study.
Kidicorp is very proud that ERO reports on its under two centers show that the quality areas it focuses on and ensures it offers are also what the Children’s Commissioner advises parents to look for quality education and care for children of under two years of age.
These are, high adult to child ratios, small groups, trained staff with quals, responsive care giving, well defined spaces for under twos, involving parents, focus on health and safety and socially, culturally and developmentally appropriate curriculum.
