I offer a professional service that is inviting to children and families where the children feel safe, secure and comfortable. I achieve this by working in partnership with families to create an environment through the daily activities and challenges set that fosters learning and development for all children in care. In my home setting, each child’s uniqueness and potential is enhanced by nurturing their everyday needs and providing positive guidance. I encourage parents and family members to participate in my service to broaden the children’s’ life experiences. Belonging, Being & Becoming is our philosophy on learning by play, by guiding children’s activities based on each child’s needs and interests and incorporating the Early Years Learning Framework. This is achieved by participating in everyday activities, which include:
Cooking
Art and craft
Gardening
Outdoor Play (Natural Environment)
Story Telling at local libraries
Attending Playgroup
Small Group Play Dates
Excursions with Best Chance Family Day Care.
