NQ Family Day Care

Family Day Care Educators are professionals committed to providing high quality child care and educa Children’s learning is visible.

Philosophy and Pedagogy:
We are dedicated to providing quality professional child care and education in collaborative partnership with families and community. Our standard of excellence and professional practice reflects the cultural and shared beliefs of families, educators and the broader community. We value and practice holistic approaches, engaging in open and honest communication between fami

lies, educators and community, all essential to positive outcomes. We believe in developing greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in the community. We believe children are unique and capable learners who are imaginative, creative and dynamic. We support children to reach their full potential through intentional interactions and teachings. Educators recognise and value the diversity of all children, families and educators. Children are learning continuously through rich, play-based experiences. We acknowledge children’s ability to learn best through a play-based and intentional environment that is vibrant, flexible and responsive to children’s interests and skills. Through a balance of natural and constructed resources children are connected to their world. We acknowledge parents as the primary teachers and value their input, this is integral to providing quality care and education. Program decision making is collaborative with families and children, developing children’s sense of agency and individuality and community awareness. The process of observation, documentation, assessment of learning, intentional teaching and critical reflection is used to scaffold children’s play and learning whilst valuing children’s strengths. Goals and Objectives:
We embrace the National Framework for children drawing on the Belonging, Being and Becoming and My Time Our Place. The framework guides us in our provision of our Exceeding National Quality Standard rated service and provides a basis for our continuous cycle of improvement. We continuously seek ways to build professional knowledge and develop supportive learning communities as a team and individually. We are committed to the principles of Reduce, Recycle and Re-use where appropriate.
