How family day care works
Family day care is a quality, home-based childcare and education service.
It’s run by qualified educators trained in early childhood education and care.
Our service is operated by the South Australian Department for Education.
Your child learns from a qualified educator, and is always cared for in a small group of children. They will play, learn and grow together. Your child is cared for in the educator’s home.
Our educators design the learning to fit your child’s individual needs. See more about how family day care works.
