This website provided me a better understanding of what parents look for when choosing a child       care centre for their child. Within in my research, I was able to read about profit vs.non profit             child care centres and parents perspectives of those. At the same time, I was able to learn               about starting your own profitable child care business, through articles on that topic I was able         to understand the steps that profit child care centres and steps that non-profitable child care             centres take in order to start an organization.

It also help understand the difference between both types of organizations as well as how each run the business. I learned about all the services that affected with the fundings/grants provided by the government at a non-profitable organization.
