The New Child Care Package has implemented sweeping child care reforms, and its effect hasn't just been felt in day care centres and preschools. Families using home-based care are also impacted by the Government's fresh take on child care, and the new In Home Care (IHC) program represents a complete move away from the old IHC program and Nanny Pilot Programme.
