Please note that NQS assessment and rating in family day Care is based on a broader scope. A select few are chosen to represent a large cohort of educators and is not always reflective of individual educators and their personal practices. See below Quality rating that I participated in 2010 - EXCEEDING

Here, at Little Feet Big Steps Family Day Care it is my belief that all children have the right to learn and develop in a safe and nurturing environment.

An environment that places emphasis on play-based learning and nature play.

An environment which allows children to explore, imagine, create, discover and learn.

An environment which promotes curiosity and encourages children to take risks and challenge themselves both physically and cognitively, whilst acknowledging each child’s individual capabilities and competencies.

An environment that nurture’s and supports children’s wellbeing, allowing their social and emotional development to build and flourish.

An environment which allows them to explore relationships with their natural environments and build understanding of the importance of sustainability.

And finally, an environment that is loving and welcoming to both children and their families, values relationships and recognises parents as their child’s first teachers.

I am committed to providing such an environment, and continuing to reflect, change and improve all areas to support positive learning outcomes for all children.

Parallel to the environment is my program, which is strength based and reflective of the ‘whole child,’ their interests, culture, family and their connectedness to the communities they live in.

Through the implementation of both spontaneous and intentional activities and experiences, children are supported to develop creativity, problem solve and construct their own learning.
