About Family Day Care

A Family Day Care Service can provide flexible hours of care including long day care, part time or casual care, before and after school care, and care during school holidays, overnight or on weekends. Services may also provide respite care and other non-work-related child care.

Educators work with Open Arms Care as the Approved Provider that carries out regular visits to monitor the children’s individual development and provide support to Family Day Care Educators.
