Windermere Family Day Care offers a unique and intimate early learning experience, coordinated by Windermere, a trusted community services organisation based in Narre Warren, Victoria. This service provides high-quality, home-based education and care for children in small groups within the safe, nurturing environment of a qualified educator’s home. It’s an ideal setting that balances structured learning with the comforts of family life, fostering a strong sense of belonging and individual development.
The program stands out for its flexibility and personalised approach. Educators craft tailored play-based learning experiences that respond directly to each child's interests and developmental stage, aligning with the Early Years Learning Framework. Children benefit from consistent care with a single educator, promoting strong, trusting relationships. Windermere ensures all educators are carefully vetted, trained, and supported, providing families with peace of mind and access to a broad network of community resources.
Mums often choose Windermere Family Day Care for its warm, home-like atmosphere, which can be less overwhelming for young children than larger centre-based care. It's particularly appealing to families seeking flexible hours, personalised attention, and the opportunity for their child to thrive in a mixed-age group setting that mirrors a natural family dynamic. The eligibility for Child Care Subsidy also makes this accredited and community-supported option an accessible and valued choice for many parents across Victoria.
