Wise And Wonderful Fdc

'Wise and Wonderful' is a christian based Family Day Care, run by an Early Childhood teacher with young children of her own.

ABOUT MYSELF:
Since I was a very young child, I knew I wanted to work with young children. I have provided both paid and voluntary care and education to children in one form or another, since I was 14 years old.

After finishing school in 2000, I commenced studying Early Childhood Education and Care at TAFE, earning my Diploma in 2002. I decided to further my study in 2012 by studying a Bachelors Degree in Teaching children from birth - five years old. I have been working in the Early Childhood sector since earning my Diploma in 2002 in various long day care services.

However, after giving birth to my second child in 2015, I decided that Family Day Care was going to be a more relevant option for my growing family, and to cater for my changing financial and professional needs.

I am now the very proud Mum of two beautiful children; Baylie (3 years old) and Charlie (1 year old). I love that Family Day Care provides me with an avenue to be able to still care for my own children, whilst allowing me to practise my knowledge and skills in Early Childhood in a professional setting.


ABOUT MY SEVICE:
I believe in providing children with a safe, nurturing, inclusive environment, where they are free to learn at their own pace through a combination of play, child initiated experiences, and intentional teaching.

As I am a young Mum with my own children attending my Family Day Care, I can assure you that your children will be treated as an extention of my own family.

I plan for the children’s learning based on their individual interests and needs, guided by the National Quality Standards, and the Early Years Learning Framework (the industry recognised and approved guideline to educating children in their early years).

From the very first day your child commences care, they are developing skills they will needed to thrive at school. Children are offered participation in a School Readiness Program during their final year of care before school.
Tissues, gloves, wipes, bed linen, blankets, wraps, bibs, and hand towels are all provided.

I have named my Family Day Care service ‘Wise and Wonderful’. I believe that with a positive influence, the correct teaching, and enough love, children can grow into Wise and Wonderful humans. And isn’t that what we all want for our children?


ABOUT MY FACILITIES:
We are located in Kyle Bay on a quiet residential street, just 2 minutes off King Georges Road. (Surrounding suburbs include; Blakehurst, South Hurstville, Connells Point).

We have a very large indoor play space (separate from the rest of the house) dedicated specifically for Wise and Wonderful. It has it’s own bathroom, laundry /kitchen and sleeping facilities.

Outdoors, we have a natural grass area adjacent to our indoor play space, which consists of a garden that is currently home to strawberries, passionfruit, mangos, herbs and other various vegetables and plants. We have a brand new tyre climb area, sandpit, and fairy garden that the children love to spend time in and explore.

We have adequate resources for children of all ages that can be used both indoors and outdoors. Some of these include:
• Puzzles
