Non-profit means government run or parent board directed centre. All the fees go to running the building, and paying staff wages, anything extra goes into the program for the children's Benefit. A profit centre is privately owned and usually the staff working there have minimal qualifications and are paid less. After the staff and building fees are covered anything extra goes into the owners pocket.

Accreditation is a government process were people come into the centre for a few days and monitor everything that's being done in the centre. Afterwards based on what they see and find they will either pass you or not. If you pass you get a plaque to hang on the wall.
