What are we working on

“It’s so important from a school perspective, an education perspective, and future jobs
perspective that we get the first five years right and Childcare Centres do an amazing job preparing our children.”
Anthony Edwards, Principal Moranbah State School

“We don’t see so many people leaving early childhood if they’re really happy in their work. The key thing is providing a work environment that gives them contentment. And part of that is not being under stress because they’re short-staffed all the time.”

Dr Sandra Cheeseman, CEO of C&K

“When it comes to the economic stability of Moranbah and Dysart, availability of childcare is a key constraint on our employers, our small businesses, our big businesses , our industry, due to the impact it has on our workforce.
