Abstract
This study explores the management and governance interaction in a child care
setting. Globally the importance of women in the workforce and the education of young children
has shone the spotlight on child care. Most child care research focuses on the education of the child.
However, the management and governance of the centres can influence the staffing, resources and
culture of the centre, which in turn can affect the care of the children. Further, limited government
funding in the sector also heightens the need to understand the impact of management and governance. The findings, from a participant-observer research approach, highlight the tensions between
the management and governance functions and that the reliance on formal systems moderate the
emotional exchanges that are part of the day to day social fabric of a child care centre.
