Becoming a Carer

We offer : Playsession twice weekly, enabling Carers and children to participate in a quality play-based program, designed by Early Childhood professionals and Carers have access to a extensive toy library collection to support children’s learning.
Children and Families :
Blue River Family Day Care in partnership with our experienced Carers offer families and children a unique and personalised childcare service. Your child is supported in a small group setting, where your selected Carer will plan experiences based on his/her child's interest, age and abilities, challenged by new learning and encouraged to explore the natural wonders our world (and local community) has to offer - children are exposed to authentic real life experiences - learning how to socialise with peers, care for others and grow a sense of self.
Key to our program is the relationship and the secure attachments we strive to develop with and between the children, their family, community and our team at Blue River Family Day Care.
Families requiring care are encouarged to contact the Coordination Unit to discuss their needs and enquire about current vacanies. Family Day Care is a formal care arrangement and attracts Child Care Benefit payment to eligible families.
