About Family Day Care:
Family day care offers families the unique opportunity to engage their child in an early childhood education and care program, in a small group within a home based setting.
Children are nurtured and cared for in the homes of approved family day care educators who are resourced supported and monitored by a central coordination unit. This network of educators, coordination unit and families is collectively referred to as a family day care ‘scheme’.
Choices Family Day Care service operates within the new National Quality Framework, which aims to raise quality and drive continuous improvement and consistency in education and care services through:
• A national legislative framework
• A national quality standard
• A national quality rating and assessment process
• A new national body called the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority.

Early Years Learning Framework
Our service has embraced the new national early learning frameworks for children ( Early Years Learning Framework and the My Time My Place). The Framework’s vision is for all children to experience play-based learning that is engaging and builds success for life.
It is a guide for early childhood educators who will use the framework in partnership with families - children’s first and most influential educator - to develop learning programs responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities and recognise that children learn through their play. The Early Years Learning Framework describes childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming.
