All Areas Family Day Care was established in 2013. It is a new approved service catering to the needs of the community to provide quality home-based child care in all of the Greater Sydney Suburbs.
Our Vision: Creating a Community of Families. “United We Grow”
Philosophy Statement: All Areas Family Day Care statement of philosophy will guide our interactions with children, Educators, staff, parents and the community.
We Believe:
- We believe in fostering the relationships children have with their family. We acknowledge that the family is the most important connection a child has and support them in their individual desires for their child’s care, development and learning. We encourage all families to become involved in their child’s program on a regular basis.
- We value the unique care opportunities that Family Day Care provides to the community and the need to offer families high quality and flexible care for their children.
- We understand the importance and value of play in a child’s development and acknowledge that play enables children to enjoy, participate, learn, practice, experiment and learn new skills.
- We believe in embracing the cultural diversity of the community we live in, where values, rights are respected and understanding and empathy are encouraged. We acknowledge that cultural diversity relates to gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, customs, beliefs, backgrounds and experiences.
- We believe that children need to be educated about the importance of the natural world and show them how to sustain natural resources, use products wisely and understand the impact we have on the world we live in. We will focus on making a difference wherever we can, from the Coordination Unit through to the Educators’ homes.
- We believe in the Early Years Learning Framework and uphold the ideas of Belonging, Being and Becoming as a way to create holistic approaches towards every child in care.

CENTRE NEWS
Rainbow Cottage Child Care Centre
What a wonderful month of February we have had at Rainbow Cottage with all the new families and children starting at our service, with the children settling in and less morning tears as they say good bye to their parents . We are looking forward to meeting the new families that will be joining us in March, and the children at the service can't wait to show you all the fun things they are up to. Our Preschoolers have really shown an interest in everything science the past month. We have had children coming in with ideas from home, some that have learnt them from older siblings or weekend outdoor fun days with the family and they have shared them with us here at Rainbow so we can share with the rest of the children. We explore with them, we let children lead activities if they want to (always of course keeping safety in mind).
We have utilised lots of items within the service to use in our experiments, lots of messy ones but also some very technical ones, the preschoolers took part in powering a digital clock with apples!!!! Yep apples!! And even though the time wasn't correct, it still worked and we were all wowed by the experiment. These activities then follow on to new activities and experiments and so on, day after day, this is why our Educators love working with children so much, we learn so much from them and with them.
We have our annual Beach Day at Rainbow will still be going ahead, and will be doing some water play but in small troughs and buckets. We will use this time to extend on the water restrictions being faced in NSW, discussing with the children ways we can and have been saving water and how they can help. The days activities water will be collected and used for watering our plants in our garden so that we are not wasting water. We have also been working on hand washing techniques, focusing on turning tap off whilst we are rubbing soap into our hands, counting to 10 and then turning tap back on to rinse. Little things like this add up over the day and we really want to help children learn that they can make a difference.
Some of our Preschoolers along with children from our other services will be joining Amanda at the Positive Thinking Clinic in March to take part in our first monthly Emotional Intelligence workshop. These workshops run for 45min and the children take part in a group play based and developmentally appropriate discussions and activities to provide children with the tools to use when needed.
PARENT INFORMATION
Kids and Poisons
In New South Wales, every year thousands of children need medical care for poisoning from products commonly found in and around the home. Most accidental poisonings occur to children younger than five, with children aged one to three at greatest risk.
Why are children more likely to be poisoned?
Young children are exploring their world and will put anything in their mouths. They also like to imitate what others do, including taking medications.
What can be poisonous to your child?
Medicines, cleaning, laundry, gardening and car products, insecticides, perfumes, paint, plants, insects and many others.
How can you prevent a poisoning?
- Store medicines and chemicals out of sight and reach of children, at least 1.5 metres off the ground and in a locked child resistant container.
- Use medicines and chemicals safely. Follow given instructions and return them to safe storage immediately after use.
- Buy products in child resistant containers and use child resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets that store poisons. You can buy these at many hardware stores.
- Ensure all products are stored in original containers and are clearly labelled. Regularly dispose of unwanted and out of date medicines by taking them to your nearest pharmacy for safe disposal.
- Don't call medicines 'lollies'.
- Check that the plants in your garden are not poisonous
For more information on the prevention of poisoning, call Kids Health, The Children's Hospital at Westmead on (02) 9845 3585.
