Enhance Family Day Care celebrates one year of supporting the Bundaberg community

Announcement posted by Family Day Care Association of Queensland 08 May 2019

Enhance Family Day Care will celebrate one year of supporting local families at a dinner for educators and staff at 7pm Friday 10 May at Rowers on the River Restaurant and Function Centre, Bundaberg.

In May 2018, educators and staff from the Bundaberg Baptist Family Day Care scheme joined Enhance Family Day Care after the scheme ceased operations due to Federal Government funding changes. The Bundaberg Baptist Family Day Care scheme had provided quality care to families in Bundaberg for over 35 years. The move helped ensure local families could continue to access quality family day care.

The dinner will also celebrate National Family Day Care Week. National Family Day Care Week recognises the important contribution family day care educators and services play in the development and wellbeing of more than 131,000 children across Australia.

Enhance Family Day Care is operated by Approved Provider, Family Day Care Association of Queensland, a not for profit organisation and the peak body for family day care in Queensland. The Association has more than 40 years’ experience in home-based quality early learning.

Family Day Care Association of Queensland CEO, Jason de Bakker said Enhance is proud to have worked with these educators and staff over the past year and they continue to be an invaluable asset to the Bundaberg community. The service has continued to grow and be an important part of the community, holding events and play dates in local parks for Bundaberg families.

Mr de Bakker said, ‘Enhance Family Day Care aims to ensure our services are high quality and work with the National Quality Standards. Our focus is ensuring the best possible outcomes for children, families and the local community.’

Enhance Family Day Care offers services throughout Queensland.  They offer quality, regulated, legally compliant and flexible day care, before and after school, and vacation care services in the home of an qualified educator. They honour children and childhood by nurturing and guiding and emphasise children’s competency and child directed learning. Fun, safety and inclusion are key priorities.
