BECOME AN EDUCATOR
Create something meaningful from home.
Family day care offers educators the opportunity to create a service that reflects who you are - your strengths, your interests and the kind of childhood you believe in - while being supported by a provider who understands the work behind it.
A different way to be an educator.
In family day care, you'll work with a small group of children in your own home.
You'll build genuine relationships with children and families.
Create your own learning environment and have the time and flexibility to follow children's interests and support their individual growth.
Smaller group sizes
More time for connection, individual support and meaningful relationships.
Follow their lead
Children's curiosity drives the day, with play at the heart of learning.
Work from home
Create a service that fits around your lifestyle and uses the space you already have.
Build community
Form strong lasting connections with families in your community.
