Abstract

[Extract] Findings: Whilst there has been progress and increased enrolments in kindergarten and preparatory settings across northern Australia, the issue of high quality education and care for children under 4-years-old prevails. There are limited affordable places for young children in high quality child care centres that are conveniently located and the sector experiences difficulty in securing and retaining high quality, qualified staff due to low wages.
