JOANNE FELLOWS

Hi, I’m Jo from Jo’s Family Day Care in Yalyalup. I have been operating my Family Day Care Service for 4 years and prior to that I worked at child care centres in the area .My decision to develop my own Family Day Care Business was driven by a desire to run my own business and provide a service for families that catered for their individual needs.

I believe that children need to feel safe, secure and happy in the Family Day Care setting. I will make children feel welcome by being caring, considerate and by providing an environment in which the children enjoy playing and being with each other.

I believe that children need to be able to express themselves which I find they can do through creative arts, outside play and interacting with other children and other adults. I believe that the children should be able to have a choice of what they would like to achieve throughout the day as well as some structured play, it should be the child’s choice to become involved in the structured play.

The environment will be safe for children and they will be encouraged to care for the environment as a part of the daily routine. At Jo`s Family Day Care Service we aim to develop secure and respectful relationships with all parties.
