Family Day Care provides quality care for children up to 13 years of age and is a home-based child care service. The Coordination Unit work together as a team with Educators that are registered through the service. 

All Educators must go through a stringent process to become an educator. Educators are passionate about providing an environment that creates opportunities for children to learn, to have fun, to be inspired and to have great learning outcomes that will support them as active learners in the future.

The children that attend a Family Day Care service will receive Education and Care in a small group. Educators must only have four children who do not attend school and three school-age children; this allows the Educator to have up to seven children at one time.

As part of the program that Educators provide, they are able to take the children on fun excursions such as the library, the local school, playgroup, parks and other community based activities. If you would like to enrol your child or apply to become an Education, please ring the office and of the the team members will assist you.
