About The Infants' Home (the Approved Provider)

The Infants' Home has supported children and families since 1874. We are a not-for-profit, integrated child and family service. Our services bring together early childhood education and care, family day care, early intervention, clinical services, family support and community programs. Today we run three Early Childhood Education and Care Centres and Family Day Care Sydney Wide, which serves the greater Sydney region.

Since 1874 we have championed the rights of children, women and families and protected those at risk. We guide families to build their strength, skills and confidence for a more positive future. Around 30% of our services target children and families living with vulnerability or additional needs. We are also a member of the Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network.

The Infants' Home is a Child Safe organisation. Every child has the right to be safe, feel safe and be heard. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and protect children from harm in every part of our work.

Family Day Care Sydney Wide is a scheme run by The Infants' Home as the Approved Provider. It has provided quality education and care to families across Sydney for more than 40 years and supports more than 120 Family Day Care services.

Educators register with the scheme and operate under our licence and the National Quality Framework, so families know their children receive quality care. In return, you benefit from The Infants' Home brand recognition, marketing support and customer service management. Our coordination team has experience in supporting and training educators.
