This learning resource aims to enhance the knowledge and confidence of educators in managing their family day care business. It has been developed as a result of feedback Family Day Care Australia has received from educators that managing the business side of their family day care can be a little challenging at times, especially when they are first starting out.

This course is suitable for family day care educators at all stages of their career as well as educators who may be thinking of setting up a family day care business. The course may also be of interest to family day care services in conducting orientation courses for new educators.
