About Kempsey Family Day Care

Family day care can support parents in shift working employment, such as nursing or hospitality, or roles that require travel. Diversity of language, culture and ability is also embraced to ensure the right 'fit' for children, carers and their respective families. Our flexible service can also assist families in crisis or as a respite care option.

For parents, family day care offers much more than a fun, safe place to leave your child. Flexibility, stability, consistency, reassurance and family values – underpinned by meaningful and often long-term relationships – are all key ingredients in building happy, well-adjusted children. For children, being nurtured and having the opportunity to develop in a secure, home-based, family-focused environment and mixing with diverse ages and cultures is a great way to build self-esteem and social skills.

In Family Day Care, children learn through play and exploration while mixing with a small group. They participate in activities planned by the carer to suit each child's needs, such as storytelling, singing, art and craft, playing games, and visiting the park or the library. Learning in the home environment is as natural as can be – structured with the real world – an authentic experience for your child growing up at home in family day care.
