Uniting In Home
Child Care

No matter where you are, we’ve got you covered.

About

At Uniting In Home Child Care we help Queensland children learn, grow and flourish – from outback stations to city blocks.

Traditional child care doesn’t fit for every family.

If you have children and you:

are geographically Isolated
work non-standard work hours
are experiencing exceptional circumstances

…then you may be eligible for In Home Child Care.

Our educators provide education and care in the family home. They work closely with the parents of the children they look after to tailor programs to individual interests, talents and needs.

Why do families love Uniting In Home Child Care?

Child outcome focused

Our educators develop programs to support individual children’s needs, interests and personalities in close collaboration with caregivers and families.

Coordination unit to support the educators

We have a team of long-term coordinators dedicated to supporting educators to provide quality care for the unique needs of their families.

Resource libraries

We have resource libraries in Brisbane where educators can access car restraints, cots and educational materials.

Play sessions

Joint play sessions are available for our Brisbane-based In Home Care families and educators. Live and recorded Zoom play sessions are available for our rural and remote children.

We pride ourselves in the relationships we have with families and educators across IHC. This comes from having face-to-face conversations and connections. Location is no barrier: wherever a car, plane or ferry can get us, we will visit!

“I work unpredictable hours so traditional daycare wasn’t an option for us. Thankfully, we found Uniting In Home Childcare. I can’t recommend them highly enough! They got to know our family and our needs. They supported us at every step. We have a wonderful educator and the boys enjoy being in their own home”

Casey
“I don’t know what I do without in home care, it is such a wonderful service that I am so grateful for every day”
