Ku-ring-gai Family Day Care Scheme

Welcome to the Ku-ring-gai Family Day Care Scheme, located at 818 Pacific Highway, Gordon, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our family day care offers personalized, flexible, and high-quality care for children in a warm and nurturing home environment. We specialize in long day care for babies and children aged 0 to 5 years, but some of our dedicated educators also provide before and after school or vacation care for children aged 6 to 13 years.

At our family day care, each child is provided with a program tailored to their individual needs, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our qualified staff work closely with educators and families to ensure that each child's developmental goals are met. Additionally, we organize weekly playgroups facilitated by an early childhood teacher, creating opportunities for socialization and learning.

To ensure the highest standards of care, our well-resourced Coordination Unit oversees the operations of our educators, ensuring compliance with national standards and regulations. We take pride in offering a safe and enriching environment for children to thrive.

Our fees are set by each individual educator and vary depending on the type and duration of care required. Generally, fees range from $11.75 to $16.75 per hour. As an Australian Government approved service, families may be eligible for child care subsidy based on their circumstances. For more information, please visit the Department of Human Services website.

We understand that choosing the right child care service is an important decision. That's why we encourage you to contact our friendly team at 9424 0832 or via email at familydaycare@krg.nsw.gov.au to find a service in your neighborhood and arrange a tour today. We would be delighted to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed choice.

Rest assured that all our educators undergo thorough screening before registration and hold a minimum Certificate III in Children's Services. Many of our educators also hold a Diploma level qualification. Our staff and educators are equipped with first aid certificates, including asthma and anaphylaxis management, and have undergone working-with-children checks.

We take pride in providing ongoing support to our educators, including regular home visits from our Council representatives. We offer guidance and assistance with enrollment, parent communication, and onboarding, ensuring that our educators have the resources they need to provide exceptional care.
