Greater Dandenong Family Day Care Scheme

The Greater Dandenong Family Day Care Scheme offers a unique and nurturing home-based childcare alternative across the vibrant municipality of Greater Dandenong, Victoria. As a council-run service, it provides families with flexible, high-quality care in a secure and stimulating environment, fostering a strong sense of community and connection.

Distinguished by its small group sizes and personalised attention, the scheme connects families with approved, self-employed educators who provide care in their own homes. This intimate setting allows for tailored learning experiences, child-led play, and strong bonds between children and their carers. Educators are supported by the Council, ensuring adherence to national quality standards and offering diverse educational programs that cater to individual developmental needs.

Parents cherish the Greater Dandenong Family Day Care Scheme for its genuine warmth and flexibility, perfectly suiting families with varying schedules or those seeking an alternative to traditional centres. It provides a home-away-from-home where children feel safe and cherished, allowing them to flourish socially and emotionally within a familiar, family-like atmosphere. The local support and community focus offer peace of mind, making it an ideal choice for mums seeking individualised care that truly understands and meets their child’s unique requirements.
