Are you eligible for In Home Care?

If other forms of childcare are not right for your family then you may be able to access Leor in your home with subsidised fees through the In Home Care model.

As an approved provider of In Home Care under the Child Care Subsidy, Leor currently offers care across regional and metropolitan areas of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Unlike other providers of In Home Care, Leor Educators are directly employed by Leor, which means they must meet high professional standards as a member of the Leor team. They are regularly monitored and supervised by our team of professionals, to ensure they are meeting your child’s learning and development needs. Our wider team of education and allied health professionals also oversee your child’s program to ensure your child stays on track to achieve success.
