critical childcare issues facing parents, employers and
providers. This conference will explore the need for higher quality childcare, the effect an increasingly qualified childcare workforce has on the costs of providing childcare and who will meet this potential funding gap - Government, childcare providers, employers or parents?

• What is Quality Childcare? The International Dimension
