Happy to clarify Ausgirl. For me, Im not a fan of making profit out of childcare. I think it sometimes can( not always) create issues with balancing profit with resourcing the centre, budgets, availability of professional development for staff etc. I have been lucky to be able to be choosy in where I've worked( except when doing relief work in childcare and kindergarten).
The centre where you work Ausgirl is very fortunate to have you. You come across as very switched on, knowledgable, caring, passionate, thoughtful and experienced and I always enjoy reading your posts.
