5 reasons why families leave a service
|

The ideal scenario for early childhood providers must surely be the situation where a family signs up their six month old baby and stays in the service until that same child is five and ready to start school. This is great for children as it means continuity of environment and care and creates the sort of routine and stability that pre-schoolers crave and thrive on.
However, as you would be aware, many families choose to leave their early childhood service, and while this is sometimes related to a house relocation or vacancy opening up in a more geographically convenient service, there are other business-related factors which can also weigh into the decision-making process.
