Why Choose Family Day Care?
Why Choose
Family Day Care?
Our Family Day Care service offers Melbourne families distinctive benefits that support both child development and family well-being:
Personalised Attention in Small Groups
With a maximum ratio of 1:4 for children under school age, educators can truly understand and respond to each child’s unique personality, interests, and developmental needs, creating genuinely individualised learning experiences.
Home-Like Environment
Children thrive in familiar, comfortable settings. Our educators create purposefully designed home environments where children feel secure yet stimulated, combining the comfort of home with educational resources that support learning.
Consistent Relationship with One Educator
Unlike centre-based care where children may interact with multiple staff throughout the week, your child builds a secure attachment with one primary educator. This consistency helps children develop trust and security, particularly beneficial for infants and toddlers.
Flexible Hours for Modern Families
We understand Melbourne families have diverse schedules. Many of our educators offer various scheduling options including standard weekday hours, extended hours for shift workers, weekend care, and before/after school and holiday care.
Mixed-Age Learning
Family Day Care naturally creates mixed-age groups where younger children learn from older ones, and older children develop empathy and leadership skills. This reflects real-world social dynamics more closely than age-segregated centre rooms.
