Welcome to the Avonlea Family Day Care family! Here is a little bit a about my family...My husband Jerome and I have been so lucky to bring our children up on the family farm at Waterloo, named Avonlea.
We recently purchased a home in East Bunbury and thought we might try out the 'city lifestyle'. Our beautiful children Sofia and Oliver are able to walk to their high school situated on our street and are delighting in all the sleep ins and extra time now that they don't have to catch a bus! Even our pet cats Millie and Mavis and our dog George Washington have made a smooth transition. We are very happy in our new home and can't wait to create more wonderful family memories!
My decision to develop my own Family Day Care was driven by a desire to run my own business and provide a service for families that catered for their individual needs. I have worked for the past 10 years in the education system as an Education Assistant in K/PP at St Michael's Catholic Primary School, Brunswick and Our Lady of Lourdes School, Dardanup.
I believe that children need to feel 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 agency and 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 Avonlea Family Day Care we aim to develop secure and respectful relationships with all parties.
