In the second episode of The Greatest Resource, Matt and Tahlia sat down with Busy Bees Australia Quality Education Advisor. Mel's background in the industry was enlightening, and her role is one that often isn't in the spotlight. We had an amazing time exploring:

• The importance of Assessment and Rating in an Early Learning Centre

• The concept of children engaging in the community, in particular with the elderly
• What a family should consider when evaluating an early learning Service and;
