Maureen's Family Day Care is where children are cared for in a homely, safe, fun and caring environment. I have been an educator for 19 years. The curriculum I use for my daycare is based on The Early Years Learning Framework . Children learned through play by investigating their natural environment .
Children will be participating in a range of stimulating activities such as painting, sandplay, waterplay, craft, dancing, gardening, cooking, going to playgroup, excursion to the park and library.
Qualifications : Certificate 3 and Diploma in Children Services

Maureen was recommended to us by the director of a long day care facility that we visited, as she had sent her own son to Maureen. After our first visit to meet Maureen and see her place, we were sold and didn’t look any further. We loved the idea that it was such an intimate, homely environment and a small number of children as opposed to a busy centre where it feels like your child can get lost in the crowd. Our son started with Maureen when he was 15 months old and continued until we moved last year when he was 3.5 years. Right from the start, our son loved going to Maureen’s and it was clear that Maureen loves the children in her care. During seasons where our boy struggled a bit more with separation anxiety, Maureen was so kind and caring, and did all she could to make those transitions easier for him (and for Mumma). Some of the favourite activities she did with the kids were baking (I loved seeing the kids dressed up in their aprons & chef hats), picking fruit & veges from her garden, and playing in the rain in gumboots & raincoats. Maureen was also amazing at documenting the children’s journey using photos & videos on Storypark, something we miss now that we are at a bigger centre. We appreciated how Maureen made such an effort to incorporate learnings about different cultures, including those of the children she was caring for. Our son has Nigerian heritage and Maureen would borrow story books by Nigerian authors from the library to share those elements of culture with all the children. He also learned about the cultural background of his friends as well as Maureen’s own culture. Unfortunately, our son didn’t get to do many of the excursions to the park or playgroups, but a big portion of our time at Maureen’s was during COVID, so it was understandable that the outings had to be scaled back. And we see from following her Facebook that this has resumed with subsequent cohorts. We all miss Maureen since we have moved and our son still speaks of her fondly almost a year later. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Maureen for taking such good care of our precious son. Read more

In that time she has fostered his love of whatever he’s is into at whatever age and been very patient with him by nurturing his way of doing things, being the strong willed and independent little boy he is. Maureen has taught him so much since in her care and treated him like one of her own. This has meant a great deal to us and we know whenever he’s with her he is in good hands. He adores her and often asks to go there even on other days. She is very caring and knowledgeable in regards to educating children and has helped us become better parents. We would highly recommend Maureen to any parent looking for a daycare. Thank you again Maureen for looking after our baby boy it’s something we will always remember fondly about you now that he’s ready to move onto big kindy. He will miss you greatly. Read more

In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
