Our Program:
RAFS is a mobile early education service, focused on the delivery of good quality early years education, care and family support.

Supplementing this you will have, or be working towards, a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care or similar, a driver’s license, current Senior First Aid/CPR and a working with children blue card (or the ability to obtain).
