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 seven quality areas that an early learning Service is assessed on
• 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;
• How crucial the first five years are in a child's development

This thought-provoking episode is a must for both parents and professionals in the industry and we are excited to share some of Mel's experiences and insights with you.
