🎨 In Family Day Care, children love discovering the magic of secondary colours!

By mixing primary colours together, they learn how new colours are created, sparking curiosity, creativity, and confidence in exploring the world around them. 🌟

Learning through play, every day. 🖌️✨

🌟 Happy National Carers Week! 🌟

This week, we celebrate and acknowledge the incredible carers in our PlayConnect+ and MyTime Playgroups — the parents, grandparents, and family members who give so much love, patience, and strength every single day. 💛

Your care makes a world of difference in your children’s lives, and in our PlayConnect+ and MyTime communities. Thank you for all that you do — for the late nights, the small victories, the big milestones, and the endless dedication that often goes unseen. 💐

Educators ensure that facilities are accessible for all children. With the addition of some younger children recently, this hand washing station was established to support every child’s participation and autonomy🪞🧴🧼

🌟 Have you ever thought about becoming a Family Day Care Educator? 🌟

Family Day Care offers so much more than just working from home. It’s about creating a nurturing, safe and engaging environment where children can learn and grow, while you build a flexible and rewarding small business of your own. 💛

We know that sometimes the hardest part is getting started. That’s why a , with funding from the Australian Government, has launched the Capability Trial.

This Trial recognises:
✨ The unique ability of Family Day Care to meet the diverse education and care needs of children and families.
✨ How Family Day Care provides local employment opportunities.
✨ The important role Family Day Care plays in supporting regional and rural communities with limited early childhood education and care services.

👉 One exciting part of the Trial is the availability of educator startup funding. This funding will support a limited number of eligible new educators in identified regional areas across Australia to begin their Family Day Care journey.

As a registered provider, we can help you step into this opportunity (if you meet the requirements).

Imagine being able to:
👩‍👧 Work from home in a career you love
🏡 Build and grow your own small business
🌱 Make a positive difference for children, families, and your community
🤝 Access support, guidance, and training every step of the way

✨ If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start, this could be it. Don’t let the opportunity to become a Family Day Care Educator pass you by! Reach out today!

🦖✨ Dino Fun & Learning! ✨🦕

Dinosaurs capture children’s imaginations like nothing else, they roar, stomp, sort, count, and create whole new worlds in their play. 🌍

Fun fact: the Stegosaurus had a brain the size of a walnut 🧠🌰
but it was still one of the most recognisable dinosaurs with its big plates and spiky tail!

Through play, children build curiosity, early science knowledge, and storytelling skills, proving that learning really can be dino-mite! 💛
