Childcare in Australia is subsidised by the government, so the childcare centres raise fees and every few years the government raises the subsidy so parents can afford it. Once it’s affordable the centres raise fees again, it’s a vicious cycle.
I read the meeting minutes from when they bought us out and it was all about how they struck gold with free government money. They didn’t give a shit about the children, just how much tax payer money they could take out of our country.
Needless to say the quality of care went down and it wasn’t high to start with, injuries and incidents went up, and I quit to join somewhere better.
Yes that Bain Capital.
