Family Day Care
Family Day Care is an approved childcare service providing quality childcare in carer's homes across Australia. It is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.
Greater Shepparton Family Day Care is operated as a not-for-profit organisation.
Family Day Care is a wonderful childcare option for all families especially those whose care needs extend beyond the time limits able to be provided by other approved childcare services. Hours of care are flexible (full time, part time, occasional, casual, before and after school and overnight). Twenty four hour care and care in the parents home is available to eligible families.
Family Day Care also offers a Child Care Benefit to eligible families through the Family Assistance Office (Centrelink).
The emphasis in Family Day Care is on providing a warm, secure, family environment with carers who are approved according to standards and guidelines covering areas such as safety, first aid, child development, nutrition and health. Regular training and information sessions are provided to all careproviders.
Greater Shepparton Family Day Care is registered with Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) and has a high quality rating with National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC).
Coordination unit staff from our scheme visit the carer's homes on a regular basis to monitor and support the care arrangements and provide a resourcing role for the carer, children and families.
