Zoe is just amazing she has been caring for my daughter since she was 10 months old, my daughter is so comfortable with her and always entertained. Zoe keeps her place safe and child friendly. Zoe keeps me well informed about my daughter daily and notes down hgihlights for the day. My daughter loves going to Zoes Day care and hope to keep her there until she starts school. I would highly recommend if you can get in join the waitlist. You will not be disappointed

Zoe is everything you could ask for in a childcare provider: warm, calm, and nurturing but firm and structured with an underlying passion for, and extensive knowledge of early learning and development. We have been fortunate enough to have three children in Zoe’s care and I have complete confidence in her ability to connect with our children and provide a stimulating environment for them to play and learn. I truly appreciate the thought and planning that goes into each day at Zoe’s Family Daycare. The toys are age-appropriate and regularly rotated with themes requiring different skills across a variety of play schemas. The craft is creative and inventive, and we now have a beautiful collection of meaningful and cleverly created keepsakes the kids’ have made with Zoe. Zoe is a fantastic communicator, providing updates on activities throughout the day. She naturally understands how and when to communicate and is supportive of implementing structures or processes from home into each day, whether that be toilet training or sleep routines. Zoe’s home is always immaculate, with different areas for the children to play both inside and outside. It is a warm, inviting, and safe environment with every detail carefully considered. Zoe has been a fantastic support for our family over the years and it has meant so much to us to be able to drop the kids off with complete confidence they will be well cared for by a truly exceptional and passionate educator.

I have been fortunate enough to have Zoe's care for my 2 daughters over the past 3.5 years, firstly as a prep teacher for my eldest, and then as a family day care educator for my youngest. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough. She is the most wonderful mix of warmth, kindness, fun and firmness that ensures that she is adored by both children and parents alike. She is completely professional and passionate about providing a safe, supportive and stimulating environment for the children in her care. Her home is immaculate, with a wonderful array of toys, games, art and craft, and sensory play. There is a mix of indoor and outdoor fun, ventures into the local community, structured activities and free play. Zoe is truly a special person, and South Morang is SO SO SO LUCKY to have her moving into the neighborhood.

About Zoe's Family Day Care

**Quality Early Childhood Education in a small, home based setting**

Hi, I'm Zoe, owner of Zoe's Family Day Care. I have a Bachelor of Education (primary), post grad in educational studies and an Early Childhood Education & Care qualification. Prior to starting family day care in 2018, I had 12 years of experience teaching in primary schools in Melbourne, as well as overseas.

Children, teaching & learning, play & building relationships are my passions. So I'm excited to combine them all together in providing quality education & care in a small, home based setting.

I believe childhood is precious & should be a time of magic, joy & fun. Not solely preparation for the future but also about just being & enjoying the present.

I help children to develop a strong sense of identity, positive relationships & sound well-being.

I believe that when children feel safe in their relationships & supported to be who they are, they can become confident, involved & capable learners.

Children thrive on experimenting, exploring & doing things for themselves, so I encourage curiosity, independence & imagination.

Reading together, being out in nature, valuing the process not just the end product, being creative, getting messy, making choices, problem solving & being active are all important parts of my program.

I believe in allowing space to follow the children’s ideas & interests. So there is a mix of planned & emergent experiences in my program, reflecting the partnership between children, educator & families.

I view ongoing reflection as an important part of life & learning, so regularly research & reflect on my practice.
