About Us
At Sydney Family Day Care Scheme, we strive to provide excellent home-based education and care environments to nurture every child's growth and learning.
By working in partnership with educators and providing them with support and training, Sydney Family Day Care Scheme works to ensure that each child's needs and interests are valued and reflected in quality programming.
We and our educators honor parents' and families' role as children's first and primary educator. We always welcome inputs from families to help us create family day cares where children can feel safe and encouraged to explore their potentials.
Children in Family Day Care have the advantages of learning and developing socially, educationally and emotionally within the security of a small group. They will participate in activities that have been planned to suit each child's individual needs, such as story-telling, singing, playing games, outdoor play and executions.
Our Philosophy
At SFDCS, our philosophy is developed through an understanding and appreciation of the needs of educators, parents, children, and local communities – their values, beliefs, life experiences and knowledge are paramount.
Educators
Family Day Care Educators are pivotal in directing the early learning development of children in a safe and controlled environment. Within a home setting, support from the scheme-to-educator and educator-to-children ensures gentle care, focused education and proper development required by young children.
Community
Within the SFDC Scheme, educators, families and children are tied closer and operate under a thriving community. These close-knit circles continue to benefit with greater communication and understanding of one another than the larger childcare model.
Children
Each and every child should be granted a safe, healthy, caring, stimulating, educational and family-oriented environment which reflects the warm, nurturing and friendly atmosphere of home. By working closely with educators and providing them with quality support and training, we provide an environment where every child in care can achieve their full potential.
Parents
Parents are an integral part of our scheme’s philosophy, as they are viewed as the most important role model in our children’s lives, and act as a link between:
-
Home and day care
-
Day care and the child’s respective primary school
-
Day care and the wider community
