Do you provide a professional service with rising costs? Do parents perceive your service as expensive babysitting? Or do they understand the true value your service provides?

To raise your profile as a professional service you need to prove what you do. The complexity of developing programs for each child is not easily done. In other complex fields such as medicine, even highly trained practitioners use tools to document their records in order to provide consistent care.

Critical Years is an expert system designed to manage the complexity of quality programming for every child in all education and care situations. You create a unique program based on your observations and context. The information you provide informs each subsequent program to ensure that individual needs and interests are met in a continuous evidence based cycle.

"I'd forgotten all this stuff and this has made family day care fun again!"
               -- Kim, Family Day Carer, NSW

Demonstrate your professionalism to families with the regular use of features such as two-way communication at any time (24x7), photographs as they occur during the day, and interactive copy of each child's program so that all family members can contribute. You can offer further value with periodic reports such as the Early Achievement report which journals each child's learning journey.

"Though I've been doing family day care for decades, having access to developmental prompts gave my programming a new lease on life by providing me with new ideas. My parent's are just loving this!"
             -- Natalie, Family Day Carer, QLD
