In Home Care
In Home Care is a special type of education and care for families that are excluded from family day care or centre based day care because of their family’s specific needs. In Home Care provides an educator to care for children in the children’s own home for families:
- with challenging or complex needs (such as disability or serious illness of family member)
- who are geographically isolated from other types of childcare
- who work non-standard hours.
