At Home Family Day Care Scheme

Winter is here, let’s keep our little ones warm, healthy, and smiling!
As the chilly days roll in, we’re reminding families to pack cozy layers, nutritious lunches, and plenty of rest time. If your child isn’t feeling their best, a quiet day at home helps everyone stay well.
Together, we’re keeping kids healthy in family day care this winter — one warm hug and clean handwash at a time. ❄️💛

🌷 Happy Mother’s Day from the At Home Family Day Care Team!

Today we celebrate all the amazing mums, grandmas, carers and our Educators who fill our homes with love, laughter, and learning. 💕
Thank you for the warmth, patience, and joy you bring to every child’s day, thank you for making our community shine.

Wishing you a beautiful day surrounded by love and little smiles.
With love, The At Home Team 💐

Children connect with nature through calm, hands‑on exploration. They practice measuring and mixing, strengthen fine motor skills, and express creativity as they shape and mould the dough. Using natural materials encourages mindfulness, sensory awareness, and appreciation for the environment.

Children explore sensory play through smell, touch, and colour. They develop fine motor skills while pouring, scooping, and mixing, and strengthen language as they describe textures and scents. This activity encourages curiosity and calm engagement.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated, or Pinterest‑perfect.
It’s about simple swaps, steady energy, and foods kids will actually eat.

Fuel for learning (better focus, calmer moods, more stable energy)

Easy routines (quick prep, low cost, repeatable ideas)

Small swaps that make a big difference

At Home Family Day Care Scheme educators pay close attention to children’s wellbeing.
Sometimes we notice early signs that a child may need a little extra support — and when we do, we respond with care, communication, and collaboration.
Our goal is always the same: to help every child feel safe, seen, and supported. 🌿💛

Belonging doesn’t end when children start school.
In Family Day Care, older children find a place where they can relax, share stories, and be themselves.
We celebrate their individuality and encourage leadership through play, creativity, and community.

We’re looking for dedicated Family Day Care educators in the Redlands, Logan and Ipswich areas.

If you’re passionate about early childhood education and want the flexibility of working from home, our supportive scheme would love to hear from you.
We provide guidance with compliance, onboarding, environment setup and ongoing mentoring to help you build a successful home‑based program.
