Our Philosophy
Mothers Love Family Day Care values early childhood education as the foundation for lifelong learning. It recognises children as unique individuals and strives to provide holistic learning experiences for the children aged from birth to 12 years of age in a flexible and familial atmosphere.
The qualified, skilled, knowledgeable, and passionate educators are supported by a professional coordination and management unit to provide high-quality care to the children. Of paramount importance is the best interests, development and welfare of the child and Mothers Love endeavours to ensure that this guiding principle is the foundation on which our Family Day Care Service is built.
With this guiding principle, constantly in focus, Mothers Love Family Day Care strives to provide exceptional home based education and care environments where educators aim to provide learning environments which are reflective of their children’s interest and foster their growth and development across all developmental domains.
The educators intentionally create the learning environment which is rich and vibrant, allows children to use their agency, make choices and take decisions about events that influence them, engage in meaningful discussions and quality interactions with peers and educators to develop their understanding of the world around them. This allows the children to become confident in themselves and socially inclusive members of the community.
Mothers Love Family Day Care supports inclusive practices. Children are recognised as individuals, regardless of their age, gender, ability, cultural background or experience. The experiences are provided to meet individual needs and abilities of the children and educators strive to create an environment where children and families feel safe, secure, respected, supported and comfortable to express their viewpoints.
Positive relationships between families 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.
The partnerships with families are of high value and with the invaluable information provided by families about the cultural backgrounds of the children, their interests and the expectations about the child allows the Family day care educators to support them in the learning and development. Mothers Love believes in the importance of input from families and forming collaborative partnerships with parents, always honouring their role as the child’s first and primary educators. These partnerships are developed through daily discussions with parents, newsletters and the regular meetings parents might have with the educators.
Mothers Love 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.
Mothers Love engages, supports and inspires Family Day Care Educators to work in collaboration with families to ensure that each child reaches their full potential. We believe that in working in partnership with educators and providing them with quality support, on-going training and access to professional guidance, we will provide an environment where every child in Mothers Love Family Day Care can achieve their full potential.
Mothers Love Family Day Care believes in a sustainable environment and will seek to awaken in each child an appreciation of their natural surroundings and its resources. The educators in Mothers Love Family day care service aim to create a community of learners who appreciate, protect, and preserve the environment.
Mother’s Love Family day care recognises itself as a child safe organisation and is committed towards the child safe standards and No Jab No Play requirements. Children have the right to be safe and protected and educators understand protecting children and young people from abuse is their responsibility.
