Hiring an Early Childhood Educator
Did you know you can hire an in-home early childhood educator for your child using in-home care.
In Home Care (IHC) is for families who can’t access other approved forms of early childhood education and care. It is typically for families who work unusual hours, live in a remote area or have complex needs.
You must meet at least one of the following:
the parent or carers work non-standard or variable hours outside normal child care hours
the family is geographically isolated from other approved care types
the family has complex or challenging needs.
