How to Apply
Enjoy a rewarding careeer as a Home Educator.
Educators Enquire
This usually starts via phone or email enquiry through Baby Kingdoms. Parents or caregivers would like to know the age group of children, area, and available time.
Site visit and home improvement
The coordinator will arrange a time to visit the family to explore each individual family’s interests, values, and aspirations for their children.
Site setting and training
The coordinator will then arrange a time with the parent/caregiver for a site visit. This will allow them to have further conversations with the Educator while a child can explore and see if he/she is comfortable with the new home environment (a site visit can take up to a week).
Enrolled with Educator
Parent/caregiver completes an enrolment form, which includes enrolment hours, days of the week, Educator’s hourly rate, optional charges, etc.
