Family Day Care Educator

• Work in a smaller setting and create individualised learning experiences for children
• Operate your own business from home and enjoy the flexibility to set your own work hours

If you are looking for a change from centre-based care and would like the freedom to work the hours that suit you and your lifestyle, then Family Day Care is a great alternative.

Working in a smaller setting - up to 7 children at any one time and no more than 4 children under school age, allows you to build long lasting bonds with children and their families and create personalised care and education programs.
