Practical Live Training for Aspiring & Existing Holiday & Destination Childcare Providers
Holiday & Destination Childcare is professional childcare provided while a family is away from its usual home routine — whether they are staying in a cottage close to home, a holiday apartment, a villa abroad, a chalet or another agreed holiday setting.
Working with families away from home brings a different set of considerations. Children may be outside their usual routines, the property may be unfamiliar, parents may want greater flexibility during their stay, and the childcare provider needs to work confidently within changing environments while maintaining clear professional and safety boundaries.
The KL Childcare Academy Holiday & Destination Childcare Workshop Series gives you the opportunity to explore this specialist area of childcare through focused, practical live training.
Whether you are completely new to Holiday & Destination Childcare, considering adding it to an existing childcare service or beginning to build a specialist business around it, you can choose the workshop that is most relevant to you.
You do not need to complete the full series. Attend one workshop, several workshops or progress to the complete Holiday & Destination Childcare Specialist Programme.
