An exciting opportunity awaits for passionate educators to join the City of Ballarat Family Day Care scheme! 

Family Day Care is a popular alternative to centre-based care where educators provide education and care from the comfort of their own home. We have educators located across the municipality who care for children, aged from eight weeks to 13 years. 

If you’re a Certificate III, Diploma or Bachelor trained educator who is passionate about: 

• Providing high-quality education and care for children.
• Low educator to child ratios.
• Tailoring your program to each child and family’s individual needs.
• Supporting families and children from a range of backgrounds.
• Becoming a Family Day Care Educator with the City of Ballarat could be for you. 

Being a Family Day Care Educator with the City of Ballarat allows you to: 

• Set your own hours and work from home in a way that suits you and your family.
• Be part of a scheme of passionate Educators, delivering high quality programs with opportunities for sharing and collaboration. 
• Run your own small business, with support from a knowledgeable and experienced Coordination Unit and Administration team to ensure you’re meeting the requirements of the National Quality Framework.
