Happy National Family Day Care Week!

This is such a significant week as we celebrate our Family Day Care educators.

This week recognises the professionalism, dedication, and high-quality care that Family Day Care educators provide to children every single day. As a Family Day Care educator, you wear many hats, from running your own service as a Director to creating meaningful learning experiences for children.

We truly value our educators and the incredible contribution they make to our community, and most importantly, to the families they support. Your effort, passion, and commitment do not go unnoticed.

We were so pleased to celebrate together with a lovely morning tea in the park.

Thank you to our amazing educators for being part of Kentish and for the outstanding work you do every day. ✨

We are so proud of our FDC educator, Pamela, representing Family Day Care educators nationally as part of the National Workforce Reference Group (WRG)!

Pamela brings professionalism and passion to her role, advocating for home-based educators and the valuable contribution they make to the ECEC sector.

Recently, key topics discussed included the 2023 AERO national educator survey, covering workforce retention, sustainability, sector pressures, educator-to-child ratios, professional recognition, training quality, wellbeing, career pathways, and child safety reforms under the National Quality Framework.

Family Day Care provides a high-quality program from home, and educators like Pamela deserve recognition for the incredible work they do every day!
