Become a Family Day Care Educator

Considerations

Being a Family Day Care Educator can be a very rewarding career option.

But it’s important to consider whether this option is suitable for you and your family. Please consider the following:

• Your home must be maintained to a professional standard inside and outside
• Family members must assist in maintaining safety standards at all times
• Your home becomes a workplace and must be shared with the children and families using your service
• Your children will be sharing toys, equipment and time with you
• Any changes to the home, like renovations, must be discussed with the coordination unit to ensure it’s appropriate for Family Day Care
• There is to be no smoking or alcohol consumption in the home while Family Day Care children are present
• You must work additional hours outside of your care times to complete administration tasks
• You must also attend professional development training outside work hours.
