At Ninigarten Family Day Care Service, we are committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children feel valued, respected, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our philosophy aligns with the principles, practices, and outcomes of the National Quality Standard (NQS), emphasizing quality care, holistic development, and community connection.

Holistic Development

We recognize that every child is unique, capable, and an active participant in their own learning. We provide opportunities for children to explore, create, and grow through play-based experiences that nurture their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development.

Respectful Relationships

Relationships are at the heart of our care. We foster a safe and welcoming space where children, families, and educators collaborate to create a sense of belonging and mutual respect. We celebrate cultural diversity and recognize the importance of family, community, and individual identity in shaping children’s experiences.

Child-Centered Learning

Our curriculum is child-led, guided by children’s interests and strengths. We implement intentional teaching practices that encourage curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving while empowering children to make choices and develop independence.

Commitment to Sustainability

We encourage environmental awareness and responsibility by incorporating sustainable practices and teaching children to respect and care for the world around them.

Health and Wellbeing

The safety, health, and wellbeing of children are paramount. We prioritize secure and hygienic environments, promote active play, and encourage healthy eating habits.

Continuous Improvement

We strive for excellence by embracing the NQS quality areas, reflecting on our practices, and participating in ongoing professional development. Feedback from families and the community informs our commitment to providing the highest standard of care.

By fostering meaningful relationships, supporting holistic development, and encouraging a lifelong love of learning, Ninigarten Family Day Care Service aspires to empower children to become confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals.
