Getting the Most from Your Child Care Provider

June 22, 2017

Child care provider blog post image for Grace Village Early Learning, Blacktown

We talked recently about how all child care centres are not the same, today, we’ll discuss how you can get the most from your child care provider.

We all want the best for our little ones as they start their education.

Whether you are starting daycare or any of the great childcare options available, it’s important to remember as a parent you’re entitled to get the most for your child and you from the childcare experience.

When choosing your child care provider in and around the area of Huntingwood, there are many things you should look for to ensure you are getting the best for you and your child.

Handing over your bundle of joy can be hard, as you reluctantly head back to work or life before your child joined your family.

Some of the key elements to ask from your potential child care centre director are:

  • How will I be involved in my children’s progress throughout the day?
  • What will my child be doing throughout the day?
  • How will you facilitate my child’s development?
  • Are there extra activities such as music and sport which my child can be involved in?
  • How will my child’s individual needs be catered for?

One of the key things to remember when you are speaking with your child care provider is although you want to always be respectful, you are paying a considerable fee per day to look after, educate and cater for your children’s development needs – both from an education and personal development perspective.

You have the right to ask questions, take time with your class educator and if need be, take some time to discuss your plans and educational needs with the centre director.

Don’t ever take for granted the work that your childcare educator does, but you must feel empowered to hold them accountable for your child’s educational needs.

Child care providers & early learning centres are so much more than babysitters, they are places where children start their lifelong journey of education filled with friends, resources and activities. With educational frameworks in place nationally, you should ask for daily or weekly updates on your child’s progress.

Innovative early learning centres such as Grace Village Early Learning embrace technology, allowing parents to be kept up to date and actively involved in your child’s day, development and activities through the innovative Xplor ™ app.

What Parents Say

Grace Village Early Learning Centre

See all reviews
I heard about grace village the minute it opened through friends. I always thought one day when I had my next baby I’ll send him there and i had my baby and started him at grace village. It really is... childcare reimagined. All the staff are so welcoming & friendly. They took onboard any information I had regarding my little one and helped me through some milestones with him. We are only leaving grace village because we got into a centre closer to home literally around the corner. I can’t thank them enough for making my return to work so easy leaving your baby isn’t easy but they kept me up to date which was re assuring that he was in good hands. Thank you Grace Village for the short amount of time we spent there.read more

If I could give more stars, I would! Grace Village is an exceptional centre! Chantel and Ray go out of their way to provide the best quality care from the moment you walk in the door. Both of my... children have attended the centre for the past three years. Both the boys have loved every moment at the centre and have huge smiles when we pick them up. The staff provide interesting and varied activities and are truly dedicated to making every day an enjoyable experience for the children. Sadly we are having to relocate but it is has been very hard to find a centre that compares. We will miss GV!!read more

GV has fantastic facilities including a third space for parents, an art atelier, lovely free-play outdoor spaces, and an epic undercover play area that allows children to be feel as though they are... playing outdoors when the weather doesn’t allow for true outside play. No other centre we have toured has offered play areas like this.We chose GV for our children because of their play-based (Reggio Emilia) philosophy and approach. We love that our little people have been able to be barefoot most of the time, supporting sensory feedback and encouraging their physical and mental development.Everyone at GV shows love for our children as they would their own. GV has been our home away from home, our family and greatest support through some very hard times.Thank you to all the nurturing educators, carers and all of the GV tribe for guiding our young man and little lady through their special formative and most impressionable years.read more

My child has attended this lovely village for almost 4 years. Awesome learning center as there is always a little bit of extra effort in every single thing that they do. They have amazing and... friendly staff, great facilities and all round activities to ensure that a child develops physically,socially,emotionally and mentally well balanced. In each special occasion they have given us special memories whether in the app, physical souvenirs and lots of memories we’ll look back on when they grow older. My son is now in kindy but he still misses the staff and his friends there. Amazing and highly recommended team !read more

My two children have been with Grace Village from 8months old. Just over 3years later, we are relocating, and finding it hard to find a learning centre that is up to the standard of GV. The entire... team at Grace Village has always given our two children such high quality education, care, and emotional support. Communication was always open and clear. It’s really is a village environment, we are blessed to have been a part of & will miss everyone who made a beautiful impact on our children’s first years of life. Thank you Grace Village!read more

Thank you for the last 2 years, my little one enjoyed her time ar Grace Village. The centre is clean, new and has an amazing play based philosophy. I would recommend Grace Village to family and... friends. Chantel is very professional and approachable, the educators are so lovely! My little one built friendships with her peers and has been supported by her educators. I had 2 previous experiences with other daycares that were awful, Grace Village has definitely met my expectations and I plan to enrol my other little one in the future!read more
