Shining stars Family Day Care provides quality care for children aged from birth to 12 years of age in the homes of qualified Family Day Care Educators supported by a professional co-ordination and management unit. We believe that all children should be given the opportunity to grow in a safe and nurturing environment. Of paramount importance is the best interests, development and welfare of the child and at Shining Stars Family Day Care we endeavour to ensure that this guiding principal is the foundation on which the Family Day Care Service is built. With this guiding principal constantly in focus, Shining Stars Family Day Care strives to provide exceptional home based education and care environments where children will be encouraged and
assisted to grow and become confident in themselves and socially inclusive members of the community.
Shining Stars Family Day Care supports inclusive practices. Children are recognised as individuals, regardless of their age, gender, ability, cultural background or experience. Positive relationships between family and Family Day Care Educators are critical to the well-being of children. Diversity is valued and mutual respect is essential. This ensures and promotes non-judgmental and positive relationships in the Family Day Care environment.
Shining Stars Family Day Care believes in the importance of input from families and forming collaborative partnerships with parents, always
honouring their role as the children’s first and primary educators.
Shining Stars Family Day Care is committed to providing a safe, secure, nurturing and stimulating environment for children, supporting each child to develop to his or her full potential, to satisfy enquiring minds, to support the wishes and directions of parents/guardians and to forge a positive bond between the child and the Family Day Care Educator.
Our objective is not only to provide a happy safe place for children, but to encourage social skills and broaden their educational horizons.
We acknowledge and value child rearing practices and family and community relationship.
