For educators in early education and care, family day care offers both personal and professional benefits. This home-based model with small group settings allows educators to work from home, set their own hours and fees, and have one-on-one interactions with children.
Windermere Child & Family Services, an accredited family day care provider with nearly 100 educators across Victoria, offers ongoing support, including 24/7 emergency assistance, to help educators run a successful and sustainable business.
When educators partner with Windermere, they can rest assured that all checks and balances are in place and financial aspects are covered.
Aimee Keays who joined hands with Windermere three years ago appreciates the collaborative nature of the partnership.
“Windermere handles all the administrative tasks, immunisations and helps with risk assessments related to allergies and health conditions. Having families enrol through them is an easy process,” she said.
Notably, educators receive payment for the hours worked even if families haven’t paid. This allows educators to focus on delivering personalised care and build positive relationships with families.
Educator Jo Pierce, Regional Educator of the Year at the 2023 Family Day Care Australia awards, relies on the support she receives from Windermere to run her Family Day Care seamlessly.
“Not only do I have the confidence to tell families to reach out to Windermere with any questions, I also appreciate they handle all the financial aspects,” she said.
