Excerpt from Community Ownership section:
"The reforms are long overdue and I don't have much patience with the cost issue. If we really believe that our children are precious then we need to do the best we can in their early formative years. A common response from parents, who have enrolled their children in other centres where the components of the National Quality Framework are not in place, is that they can see the difference where it most counts - in their children." - Linda Davison, Coordinator at Clarendon Children's Centre  -
