Our Philosophy
The more a child develops their love of learning, the more they will flourish and the happier they will be.
-
Caring, responsive relationships
We build caring, responsive relationships between our educators, children, and families to create learning environments that foster a sense of belonging, provide rich opportunities for play, and cultivate each child’s competence, capacity, and potential.
Children learn through play, whether it is lively and exuberant or quiet and absorbing, we see the connection between children’s play – freely chosen, enjoyable, active, and guided by internal motivation rather than external goals – and the learning and social development that helps them to succeed in life.

Goals and Objectives
FDC is committed to providing quality programs that are consistent with our FDC policies, focusing on the four foundations of learning – well-being, engagement, belonging and expression.
Our programs promote physical, social, and emotional health, and foster communities of learners made up of our children, families, and educators.
With these priorities in mind, we have defined a set of goals and approaches, in compliance with NQS.
-
A Partnership for The Future
We believe that parent involvement is essential to the provision of childcare, and that the partnership between parents and staff is important to the development of each child. Parents are encouraged to visit, participate in programs, and attend special events, parent workshops, and holiday celebrations. Parents are also encouraged to be involved in ways that reflect their interests and talents, such as sharing recipes, reading stories, or leading a day care activity.
-
Diversity and Inclusion
We recognize that each individual child has the right to a sense of belonging and an opportunity to participate and contribute to our enriched and diverse multicultural programs that everyone has a set of beliefs, strengths and own culture contributing to our diverse community.
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) recognizes that ‘Partnerships involve educators, families and support professionals working together to explore the learning potential in everyday events, routines and play so that children with additional needs are provided with daily opportunities to learn from active participation and engagement in these experiences.
-
Sustainability
Our service encourages the awareness of environmental responsibility and implements practices that contribute to a sustainable future. Children are supported to become environmentally responsible and show respect for the environment.
