Become a Family Day Care Educator

Are you passionate about working with children and want to play a part in shaping their futures while running your own business from home? Why not combine your passion for children with the opportunity to create a rewarding and flexible career as a professional Family Day Care educator.

Based on demand in your area, you can determine the days and hours you operate your service whilst enjoying the flexibility of running your own business with the support and guidance of a qualified and experienced Coordination Unit. With that support you will also develop tailored educational programs for the children in your care based on their individual developmental needs, interests and experiences.

If you are an early childhood professional working in a centre-based environment you may enjoy the freedom and flexibility offered by Family Day Care to shape your career and your learning environment. It’s a unique and rewarding opportunity to develop your own educational programs based on the needs and interests of individual children while building long lasting bonds.
