Kids have worries – from monsters to natural disasters. They can appear at random or may be triggered by everyday events. Their increasing awareness of the world, who is in it, and being able to anticipate bad things happening, can all increase their alarm.

Many of children’s fears can be existential, meaning they are indicative of a child’s growth and development as a separate being. Separation is the most impactful of all experiences and stirs up the emotional center of the brain and can create feelings of fear. As a child becomes increasingly independent, they are less dependent upon their caretakers which may foster some worry. As a child ages, this fear is often transformed into different themes but shares this common root issue....

For the young child their fear is often alleviated through connection with caring adults who provide safety and reassurance. As a child ages, their increasing maturity will mean they will need to find both courage and tears to face their fears. This growth can be cultivated with the help of adults they trust and can count on.

What is Family Day Care?

Family day care is where a child is educated in a small group in a family style atmosphere at an educator’s home, seeing the same educator each day.
Early childhood educators invest years of training to gain their child care qualifications, and dedicate themselves to ongoing upskilling while improving their knowledge to provide the best possible service for children and their families.

The ratio in family day care is one educator for a maximum of seven children, and there can be no more than four children who are preschool age or under (per educator). The educator’s children must be counted in those seven children if they are under 13 years and not being cared for by another adult at the premises.

All family day care educators must hold or be “actively working towards” at least an approved certificate III level education and care qualification.

The approved provider of a family day care service ensure educator and all adults residing in family day care premises have working with children check before the person is engaged or registered as a family day care educator as part of the service. In addition to this, Family Day Care educators must have all certificates and trainings like Police check, First Aid qualifications, Food Handling, Child Protection etc.

The approved provider provides regular monitoring and support to educators to ensure health and safety of children. The approved provider offers ongoing professional development to family day care educators to create a more vibrant and supportive place for children.

There’s a clear focus on learning and development of children based on the principles, practices and learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. The educators plan an educational program for each child, share it with families and invite family input.

Family day care services are assessed for quality of education and care under the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority’s National Quality Standard.
Seven quality areas are assessed and rated to determine a quality rating, including the educational program, childrens’ health and safety, the physical environment, staffing, relationships with children and families, governance and leadership.
State and territory regulatory authorities assess and rate family day care services as either “exceeding”, “meeting”, “working towards”, or “significant improvement required” using the National Quality Standard, also known as the NQS.
