A family childcare provider

• Here are just a few of the advantages of how home care can benefit your child
• Your child receives individual attention
• There is structure but with flexibility.
• Being in a home means the children learn through play and real-life situations.
• Children learn at their own pace
• Children have an opportunity to play and learn with others in a much smaller group.
• It is possible for your child to remain with the same provider from infancy up to or through school age.
• The ratios of children per adult are lower than in a nursery.
