Kinder Lane Early Learning Centre

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.

This exciting holistic program is a “one stop shop” aimed to build social connections, confidence, while providing a foundation for healthy behaviours. Our aim is, to encourage the involvement of the one child that wouldn’t normally participate in physical and verbal activities. If we can achieve this, than we have done our job and improved the learning qualities of this growing child.

It is a 9 week program called 'Mind Body and Me!' The program consists of: Yoga, Zumba, Meditation, Pilates, Stranger Danger Classes (Karate Shapes), tactile objects and movement activities with the assistance of our fantastic and interactive puppets.

All classes can be modified to suit the centre’s needs. You may prefer a half day or full day workshop.

At Kindarama we pride ourselves on our Programs.  One of our Programs is called - Wellbeing Curriculum focuses on Health, Physical Exercise, Hygiene and Safety.  This curriculum runs similarly to our school readiness curriculum however it included our personalised Sports Skills Program that runs for 2 terms per year.  The children participate in learning skills from 5 sports across the year and learn to utilise these skills in game situations.  We focus on the main gross motor skills that children will use when joining school aged sports programs at school.

In the alternate terms, the children spend the allocated time focusing on healthy eating, the importance of hygiene and also discussing and learning about keeping safe in all situations.

These curriculum's will hopefully guide families during the year to also be working with their child at home on similar topics in the lead up to school.  A child who has their family and teachers working collaboratively will benefit greatly and feel more supported in their development and skills.  Contact us for more nformation.
