| Moonee Valley City Council's Family Day Care Scheme is a quality home-based childcare service funded by the Federal Government and administered by Council.
Family Day Care caters for parents who work, study or require respite care. The program offers a wide range of care options to meet individual needs.
Babies, pre-school and primary school age children are cared for in small groups in the homes of carefully selected people, who enjoy the company of young children and demonstrate an interest in the care and development of children. Qualified staff employed by Council co-ordinate the program and resource care providers.
