In-Home Care
In-Home Care is the care of children in the child’s own home by an approved educator. Most of the educators registered with our service work on stations/properties, although some are based in towns. Parents, educators, and In-Home Care Coordinators work together for quality outcomes for children. If you are interested in applying for the IHC program, please see the links below for further information.
