Eastern Region Family Day Care

 

Eastern Region Family Day Care provides families with the unique opportunity to have their children participate in meaningful learning programs in small, mixed age groups in a home-based setting.

in all aspects of their growth, development and learning.

 

The Curriculum – Belonging, Being and
Becoming and My Time, Our Place

Children are given opportunities to explore and gain a love of
learning that will promote each child in reaching their full
potential and experiencing success in future learning.

​

of self and develops a sense of belonging to place, to the family
day care service, to the community and as a citizen of the world.
