Imagine: your love of children, together with your love of leading, teaching and inspiring, in a business that you can call your own.
As an educator you get to choose which hours and days suit you. You have full control over the operations of your business plus you can look after your own children while you look after others.

What FDC educators think about their career
“What stands out in my Family Day Care career so far is the chance for me to have positive input into children’s lives, being able to use my training and life skills to the best advantage by contributing in a meaningful way to the FDC community to which I belong.”
As an educator, I truly feel blessed to play such an integral role in helping the children to be, belong and become.
