Help regarding starting FDC
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2018 9:52 pm
Hello Lorina and Everyone,
As you may know, i was telling in another thread about my career decision to start my own FDC . i thought if i start a separate thread for my FDC journey, i would be easier for me to look back at a later stage. so
I , with my Cert III and with some experience as casual educator for 2 agencies, now decided to start my own FDC as i thought my 2 kids would benefit more .
Last week i went to my council and got the form for development approval. We built this house last year . so no need for owner's approval. But the council may send letters to neighbours it seems.
i have contacted 2 FDC Schemes . somebody will be visiting me next week from one scheme. what should i expect in that interview ? what are the questions should I ask them ?
I came to know that they are charging 90cents per hour per child as educator levy and $1 per hour per child as parent levy. is this what I have to pay to the scheme out of the total fees ? i.e if I charge $8 per child , should I pay $1.90 out of this to the scheme ? is it normal or should I shop around more schemes ?
I have another question. Is air conditioning for the house a must ? i dont have air conditioning at my home . so worried about that.
other than that, house is fenced and we have installed shutters all around the house. so i think safety wont be an issue.
sorry if i have asked too many questions. but really its very confusing and too scary .
please help me with my new adventure
thanks in advance
kind regards
