Combine your passion for working in Early Childhood with the opportunity to work from home with easy access to support and resources from a local Family Day Care service.
If you are an early childhood professional, you may enjoy the freedom and flexibility offered by family day care to shape your career and your learning environment. It’s a unique opportunity to develop your own educational programs based on the needs and interests of individual children, while building long lasting bonds.
We understand that Early Childhood Educators are highly skilled professionals and believe they deserve to be well paid for their work. Our Educators are self-employed so they determine their own hours of work and fees* to fit in with their family and other commitments.
Our Educators are encouraged to bring their individual interests and style to their service, and we celebrate this diversity; it is a strength for the Service as a whole.
New Educator Start Up Grant and Loans
There can be some initial costs in setting up your service, so we offer new educators Start Up Grants.
We also offer interest free loans to all our registered educators for service-related expenses.
