Family Day Care Educator

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.

• Supporting families and children from a range of backgrounds.

• Be part of a scheme of passionate Educators, delivering high quality programs with opportunities for sharing and collaboration.
