A stimulating and engaging home environment will build upon each child’s success and competence as a capable and independent learner. Educators will actively acknowledge the diversity and culture of children, families and educators, including Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture within the curriculum.
A strong focus on the principle of, ‘the rights of the child are paramount’ will be a guiding principle for our curriculum and decision-making.

Mission Statement
Australia Family Day Care was established to empower women to enter the workforce with the confidence and ability to succeed. Australia acknowledges that many migrants arriving in Australia either do not have the skill base to find appropriate employment or in fact have never worked before.
