Karen’s Family Day Care

Children playing outdoors

At Karen’s Family Day Care I will provide a loving, caring, nurturing environment that promotes each child to learn and develop self- esteem and individuality whilst having a fun day.


About my service

My name is Karen and I provide care for children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. My service is open Monday to Friday 6.00am to 7.00pm. (I am flexible outside these hours). I provide Before and After school Care and School Holiday Care. Weekend care is also available. I’ve been a Family Day Care educator since 2012.

I follow the National Quality Frameworks and National Quality Standards. I have been assessed by the Department of Education and have been rated as exceeding the National Quality Standards.

I provide an environment that is warm, loving, secure and nurturing that promotes each child’s learning and development, self-esteem and individuality while having a fun day.

I encourage children’s self-help skills and independence. Through observations and evaluations I provide enriching experiences that encourage and promote learning and development through ongoing developmental assessment of children and intentional teaching practices.

I believe children have their own evolving strengths, abilities, interests and are curious, competent and unique learners and learn at their own pace.
