Family day care educators are early childhood education and care professionals registered with a family day care provider that is responsible for approving, supporting, training and advising its educators. 

There are a number of family day care providers operating in Whitehorse. 

As of the end of June 2015, Whitehorse City Council no longer provides family day care. This has not affected the number of educators providing quality care to children, as Whitehorse family day care educators are now working for other providers. Council will continue to support family day care in the municipality.
