Glide Family Daycare provides high-quality, personalised education and care in a warm, nurturing and home-based environment in Northam. Registered with Elite Family Day Care and approved for Child Care Subsidy (CCS), Glide offers children the security of consistent care with one dedicated educator.
I believe strong, trusting relationships are the foundation of children’s learning and wellbeing. Every child is respected as a capable, confident and unique individual. Children are supported to express themselves, make choices, develop independence and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
Learning at Glide is play-based, child-led and thoughtfully supported. Experiences are guided by each child’s interests, strengths, development and family input. Children are encouraged to explore, investigate, create, solve problems and build confidence at their own pace.
The environment is viewed as the “third teacher” and is carefully arranged to encourage curiosity, agency and meaningful play. Children enjoy outdoor exploration, gardening, caring for animals, creative experiences, cooking, music, sensory play and connections with the local community. Sustainable practices are naturally incorporated into everyday routines, helping children understand that they can contribute to caring for their environment.
Families are valued as children’s first and most influential teachers. Open communication, reciprocal relationships and meaningful family participation help ensure each child receives care that reflects their individual needs, routines, culture and family values.
Above all, Glide Family Daycare is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child feels known, valued and empowered to learn.
