Along with knowing the purpose of quality daycare/child care facilities, the next important factor is to be aware of what generates a high quality daycare/child care facility. It is vital to know the characteristics because these prime objectives are the driving forces influenced by what children need in order to succeed and grow in their developmental skills.

Childcare is the starting point in your children 's lives. The choices you make on childcare can affect them greatly. It is when they will begin to meet the friends that they will grow up with as they go through grade school. Children need this step in their lives to adjust from staying at home, to staying with other children in a completely different surrounding. There are so many different options for childcare now a days, it is extremely hard to say which is the most beneficial for children. In this paper I will discuss the childcare decisions that my mother made for me, what to consider when evaluating childcare, and compare them to some of my references and see how they are similar and also how they differ.

The purpose of this project is how we can ensure the health and safety of children in a childcare setting.

New Zealand being a multi-cultural and a diverse country, the early childhood sector here, embraces this diversity and encourages professionals of this sector to respect this diversity of the children and families that they serve (Ministry of Education[MoE], 1996; Noonan, 2010).
