In the last few decades, the number of employed women in the Arab Republic of Egypt has increased rapidly. The women's liberation movement at the beginning of the twentieth century gave women the right to remove the veil, the symbol of traditions which had prevented them from being in touch with society and from being educated by attending universities. Today, large numbers of Egyptian women are employed in order to support their families or attend universities to fulfill their own needs. They strive to be financially productive and to achieve personal goals. This situation created the critical need for women to have suitable and safe places to keep their children during work or school hours. As the need for child care grew, the understanding of the importance of the quality of child care increased. Most families who chose to enroll their children in child-care centers realized the importance of the quality of the center, but few centers of high quality were available.
