North East Family Day Care provides early childhood education and care within a home environment, catering to children of varying ages.
We believe the Family Day Care model is the ideal starting point for your child’s educational and care journey. Our services promote a multi-age approach and small group ratios, ensuring each child has the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and attentive environment.
All of our Early Childhood Educators hold formal certifications in Early Childhood Education and bring years of experience in the sector. Our services are locally managed by a Coordination Unit that regulates the programs, monitors compliance, and ensures that each service consistently meets high standards of care and education for children and families. Educators are also required to deliver a program that aligns with both State and National Frameworks for Early Childhood Education and Care, with a focus on Child Safe Standards.
Each service is unique, and we are here to help you find the perfect fit for your family. Educators set their own fee schedules, and hours of operation may vary. When filling out the waitlist enquiry form, please ensure you note your required hours to assist in the matching process.
Fees
If you have submitted a Child Care Subsidy claim via My Gov and it has been approved your care will be subsidised according to your entitlement percentage. Please note Individual Family Day Care Services have varying set fee's, Council also charge families a levy per hour of care.
