All children should have a guaranteed right to attend a local, publicly funded ECE service. We understand that there are economic drivers to having children in care for long hours, but we also understand that children can gain the same benefits from attending good quality ECE for as little as 12 – 15 hours a week. Parents need to have time to be able to learn to parent well and form great relationships with their children. See our About Us page for more on our position on this issue.
