There are some essential first steps to take before you are ready to begin operating your family daycare service.
You need to have the following:
You must meet the Australian National Law, Regulations, and Standards to be registered as an approved educator. Your induction training will get you started.
The maximum number of children is as follows:
Seven children, including your own children.
Of those seven children, no more than four may be under school age (i.e. infants, toddlers, preschool children)
There are, for example, registration, insurance, first aid, Working with Children Clearances, resources and equipment costs.
Your home will need to be assessed for suitability as an education and care service.
For example:
You must have completed a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care or an ACECQA approved qualification.
How much you earn will depend on the number of children you provide for, the hours you work and the demand in your area. Darwin Family Day Care is a self-employment option for people who want to set up a business that will give them a flexible, fulfilling, varied and challenging profession.
