Taradale Family Day Care

🌿 Looking for childcare but not a fan of long day care centres? 🌿

Hello, my name is Rebecca Paine, and I operate Taradale Family Day Care. I currently have spaces available on Mondays and Wednesdays.

I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood and a Postgraduate qualification in Early Education, and I was honoured to be named 2024 Educator of the Year for the Bendigo, Goldfields and Macedon region.

My family day care operates Monday to Thursday, 8:30am – 5:30pm, with only 4 children per day, allowing for a calm, nurturing environment and lots of individual attention.

✨ What I offer:• A dedicated indoor daycare space• A large outdoor environment to explore• Regular outings to library sessions, local parks, and Harcourt Kindergarten• Nature walks around our 7-acre property

My service is supported by Foundations Family Day Care, a neurodiverse and Indigenous-run organisation.

If you would like more information or to arrange a chat, please text me on 0488 935 558.

I look forward to hearing from you!

We picked some daffodils from the garden and put them in blue, green and purple water. The blue only took about an hour to start showing. We also made some daffodils out of paper.
