Educational program

Each educator provides a program for each child under the Early Years Learning Framework. Qualified staff assist educators and each child has a documented program developed in consultation with families. We also run weekly playgroups with an early childhood teacher on Tuesdays to Thursdays each week between 9.30 and 11.30am.

A well-resourced Coordination Unit oversees the operations of educators and ensures all national standards and regulations are consistently met.  

Cost

Family Day Care fees are decided by your educator and vary depending on the type and length of care required. In general fees range from $11.75 to $16.75 per hour.
