Family Day Care is a North Sydney Council sponsored childcare scheme providing care for children aged 0-5 years in the homes of carefully selected carers. The emphasis is on developing close personal relationships in the caring surrounds of the home. The service provides a developmental program to aid social and learning skills.
Professional staff match carers with families, and monitor the quality of care through home visits to ensure government regulations and Family Day Care standards are maintained. Parents and children meet with the carer prior to accepting the care. A playgroup operates twice a week for Family Day Carers.
Family Day Care is licensed by the NSW Department of Community Services and operates under the government guidelines of:
