A Flexible Approach to
Family Care
beginning with early childhood
Our Social Enterprise Mission
Clann's Family Care Learning and Health Program and Portal is delivered with the support of a wider network of partners including The Education Professionals. We support the Life. Be in it.' JobsNOW Initiative and are independently monitored by OSSNET to ensure quality standards.
The core objective of our Clann social enterprise is the establishment, delivery and support of family-focused, practitioner delivered, care, learning and health information, services and resources for the Community Services sector beginning with Early Childhood. Our focus is on families who for varied reasons are unable to access regulated services that meet their needs and wants and so rely on informal and unsupported care that increases the risks of disadvantage. To begin with we have developed a sensible, safe and secure opportunity to restructure informal childcare (one million children nationally) into quality small home-based family care businesses.
Through our Networks we can also advise on, and facilitate, professional development pathways for many other areas of study including, functional english, small business, early childhood, elder and disability care.
We are beginning in Geelong with a pilot project to create and support up to 500 new regional family care businesses using our Earn 'n' Learn program; supporting the Life. Be in it. JobsNOW Initiative. Beginning with childMINDing where the focus is on providing care while building better brains and healthy bodies. Your interest and possible involvement is welcomed.
