These family day care centres are providing an essential service to families in a regional area of Tassie. We should be championing these day care centres, not trying to shut them down. If they close, families will be left in the lurch and forced to find care elsewhere or give up the jobs that keep the lights on and food on the table. Will the government consider Tasmania as a suitable place to test a pilot project for this model of child care that could help provide a solution for families around the country?
