Types of teacher-led services include:

- kindergartens
- hospital-based services
- home-based education and care services.

Teacher-led services exclude parent-led services. For definitions of these service types, please see the Glossary of this handbook.

- whether a service is all-day or sessional
- the proportion of regulated (ratio) staff hours that are covered by certificated teachers (see Section 3-B-2 for more information)
- whether the service attests to paying their certificated teachers at or above certain minimum salary steps, not applicable for kindergartens or home-based services (see Section 3-B-2 for more information).
- the age of children attending the service
- whether the service is offering 20 Hours ECE.
