What is Home Based Childcare?

Edubase supports child development in unique ways that wrap around your needs. Find out what home-based childcare is, how it works, and whether it’s right for you and your child.

Home Based childcare is early learning in a cosy, family home - not a big centre. With just four children at a time (including the Educator’s own), your child gets plenty of one-on-one attention and builds strong, trusting relationships in a calm, nurturing space.

Having a home-based facility close to my work meant that my child was in an environment where she was well cared for and provided opportunities for community activities that she would not have had in a more traditional preschool setting. She thrived in the environment, and I am thankful that this was an option for my child.

I was scared and felt so guilty putting my son into care but it was clear from the start how cared for he was and he thrived! He still talks so fondly of his educator even after finishing up. We are forever grateful.

Our Educator, Sharlena, has been both of our children’s caregiver for the past four years and she has treated our children as if they were her own. Both of our kids are incredibly confident, well-rounded individuals who have loved having Sharlena in their lives, and she will be hugely missed by our whole family. We can’t recommend her enough.

Absolutely love where my child went, fitted all his needs with his disabilities being autistic, his teacher understood and helped me and my son SO much. The support was outstanding.
Thank you so much.
