Why choose Family Day Care?
Family Day Care is much more personalised, and is able to meet the immediate requirements for each child, and is based in the comfort of a carers home. A carer is only allowed to have 5 children at a time, with the opportunity of weekend and after hours care for shift workers.
What can be expected of Family Day Care?
For parents, family day care offers so much more than a fun, safe place to leave your child. Flexibility, stability, consistency, reassurance and family values – accompanied by meaningful and often long term relationships – are all key ingredients in building happy, well adjusted children.
For children, being nurtured and having the opportunity to develop in a secure, home-based, family-focused environment, and mixing with a diversity of ages and cultures is a great way to build self-esteem and social skills.
In family day care, children learn through play and exploration while mixing with a small group. They participate in activities planned by the carer to suit each child’s individual needs, such as story-telling, singing, art and craft, playing games, visiting the park or the local library for story time sessions.
