When considering
child care options, everyone is familiar with the well publicised
usual options of child care centres and nannies available.
However there is another lesser known option, a very select, elite, unique
and individualised option.
Family Daycare.
Family Daycare Carers provide a wonderful alternative solution
to providing safe secure childcare for your child. We
solve the problem many parents face.
"Who will care for
my children While I work or am unable to?
It has to be
someone special, someone who really cares".
We think these statements apply to all Australian parents. We all want the
best for our children. If you believe they apply to you, then
choose a Family Daycare Carer as your childcare option.

What is Family Daycare?
Family Daycare is child care provided in the Family Daycare Carer’s home.
Family Daycare Carers
are registered or licensed and provide childcare for children aged from
birth to 12 years. Each child is accepted for who they are, without
exception.
Family Daycare Carers encompass, embrace and celebrate
the diversity of language, culture and ability of each child as an
the wonderful individual that they are.
Family Daycare
Carers believe in helping each child reach his or her potential in
life. Confidence, self esteem and self belief are wonderful assets
that each carers strives to encourage in each child that is in our
care.
Carer to Child
Ratio?
One of the most important differences between care by a Family Daycare
Carer and care in a child care centre is the very low child to carer
ratios. This allows the Family Daycare Carer and the children to develop very strong bonds.
In Family Daycare
the carer to child ratio is much smaller than in centre-based care.
The number of children in care at any one time is strictly limited
and adhered to, it is as follows:
-
Up to four or five
children under school age – (number of children is dependent upon
each state or territory’s legislation).
-
Up to seven
children aged under 12, in total, (including their own children
under 12).
