About Us

The Wynnum Family Day Care Scheme was established in 1988 to provide home based childcare in the local areas. Home based childcare is flexible small group care that offers Parents and Children the benefit of individual attention in a safe family environment. Carers operate from their own homes and are self-employed. Carers are supported, monitored, assessed and registered by a co-ordination unit. The Scheme is licensed and regulated by the relevant Commonwealth and State Government Departments.

Services provided by the Scheme


Resource Library
Parents and Carers are invited to make use of our extensive resource library which includes books, videos and audio tapes on a variety of topics related to Children, families, personal development, nutrition and much more


Equipment Library
Carers are provided with a range of toys and other equipment such as car restraints, prams, high chairs, and cots


Parent Update
The Scheme newsletter is our main method of passing information on to Parents and Carers. Please read it carefully as it may contain important information, which relates to government changes, policy changes etc. You are invited to contribute any item of interest, humour or fun to the newsletter.


Playgroup
The Scheme currently hosts 2 playgroups a week at the Gospel Hall,Preston Road, Manly West. The Scheme employs a Playgroup Co-ordinator who facilitates each session. Carers are encouraged to attend playgroup as it introduces Children to larger group situations and gives Carers the opportunity to further develop their skills by observing the Playgroup Co-ordinator at work and networking with other Carers in a safe environment. Playgroup offers your child the opportunity for greater socialisation, and interaction with other Children and adults.


In-service Training
Carers are required to have a commitment to their own ongoing professional development. Each Carer negotiates a Learning Contract with the Scheme, which identifies an individual training plan designed to enhance the quality of care provided by each Carer. The Scheme supports this by offering a broad range of training opportunities on topics relating to childcare and personal development.


Children’s Christmas Party
This is a major event on our calendar and an opportunity for Children, Parents, Carers, staff and committee members to come together to relax and celebrate in a safe environment the year’s successes. It is held each November


Social Events
The Scheme promotes a number of social events during the year. A highlight is the Trivia Night. The night is organised by Carers and staff and any monies raised are used to buy new equipment. Your participation in this event either as a guest or of a donator of gifts is deeply appreciated.
