The Kids at Home Family Day Care Service (Scheme) is based in Brisbane (Queensland) and dedicated to providing all families with access to quality home based childcare places, working closely with our Care Providers, supporting them and building relationships that will add value, not just to their businesses, but also to the families and children they provide a service to.
Our Service
Our service (or scheme) is committed to, and passionate about Family Day Care. We believe that our Care Providers and families should not have to deal with an organisation only partly focused on their needs. Unlike many other childcare schemes, we are 100% Family Day Care!
Our Philosophy
We support the belief that childhood is a unique and critical stage of life. We are fully committed to the care, nurturing and development of children, whilst also providing support and respect for families.
Relationships and Communication
Kids at Home work with, and listen to, our Care Providers. They are a fundamental part of our service, and very much a key part of our team. We believe creating an environment where open bidirectional communication and strong relationships between staff, Care Providers and families can flourish. In our multicultural society, we aim to engender a sense of belonging for families of all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds by creating an environment which supports and caters for the values and diversity of individual families.
Child Development
We support the belief that children develop cognitive, physical, creative, emotional and social skills through play and positive learning experiences. By providing children with the freedom to interact with the people and the environment around them, we can contribute to the development of a positive self image, autonomy and independence.
Kids at Home recognise that each child is an individual and that they develop at different stages. In our service each child is encouraged to reach their full potential through a range of experiences that are planned to meet their individual interests and strengths. We are committed to providing a high quality educational and stimulating daily play based program in a positive environment, enabling children to grow and thrive. Family Day Care complements the home by providing a loving, stable and secure environment, ensuring children feel confident, comfortable and respected.
