WHY CHOOSEÂ FAMILY DAY CARE ?
Family Day Care is an approved form of home-based childcare service for families at an educator's home.
The ratio in family day care is one educator for a maximum of seven children, and there can be no more than four children who are preschool age or under (per educator). The educator’s children must be counted in those seven children if they are under 13 years and not being cared for by another adult at the premises.
A Family Day Care Educator operates under the same National Quality Framework (NQF) as other forms of childcare; incorporating national regulations, quality and qualification standards, educational frameworks, and an assessment and ratings process.
Routines at family daycare are usually tailored to the needs of each child, especially for very young children, but may move to routines that are more based around a group dynamic as the child gets older (for example, having lunch time at the same time).
