Why Choose Stephanie's Family Day Care
In my family day care environment, your child will experience the warmth and comfort of a loving home while receiving exceptional education and care. Your child is truly seen, cherished and nurtured.
With a small number of children each day, your child will receive the individualised attention they deserve. My focus is to foster a love of learning through tailored activities that cater to each child's unique interests, strength and needs.
I believe in the power of lasting connections. No staff turnover means your child will develop close bonds with their educator, creating a secure and trusting relationship that fosters confidence and emotional well-being.
In my family day care setting, children of different ages play and learn together, creating a rich and dynamic social environment. Younger children benefit from the guidance of older peers, while older children develop empathy and nurturing skills. This fosters a sense of community and belonging where every child feels valued and respected.
Unlike large childcare centres where your child is one of so many, family day care offers a cozy and familiar setting that feels just like home. It is a loving and supportive environment where children feel safe, secure, and ready to explore the world around them.
I speak fluent English, French, Chinese and Cantonese, introducing your child to diverse languages and cultures. I also prioritise health and well-being, with smaller groups of children minimising exposure to germs and promoting a healthier environment.
My affordable rates and eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy make my family day care an excellent choice for families seeking exceptional value and care.

“Stephanie is an exceptional educator who maintains a high level of care in a respectful way. Stephanie offers a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment for all children. She is creative and provides a variety of engaging activities each day that support our daughter across multiple disciplines. Stephanie is an outstanding communicator who is meticulous with recording and communicating the children’s daily adventures.

We are so appreciative of Stephanie and the care she provides our daughter. I would highly recommend Stephanie’s Family Daycare to anyone seeking care for their child.”

“Stephanie is an exceptional educator who maintains respectful and responsible communication with parents, ensuring a collaborative partnership in supporting each child's growth. My son has enjoyed every moment spent in her care. Her approach to education is both nurturing and effective, providing a solid foundation for the children under her care.”
From Mark on www.careforkids.com.au:
“I found Stephanie's services at a time when my daughter was struggling with persistent illness with larger daycares and feeling like a number. Within 2 weeks of being with Stephanie my daughter became happy to go there and made such wonderful friends with all the other great kids that attend. I am so appreciative of Stephanie and the amazing care she has provided for my daughter. My daughter speaks highly of the fun and engaging activities they do every day. Could not recommend this place any higher.”
From Donna on www.careforkids.com.au:
“My son started at Stephanie's Family Daycare when he was 1. He was very attached to me but Stephanie was warm and made every effort to help him settle. He settled quickly. He is now 3.5 and is still attending. Stephanie offers a safe and stimulating environment for the children. She is incredibly creative and uses many engaging strategies to support the children to develop their skills across multiple trajectories. She is excellent with communication and admin, is tidy, well organised, and meticulous with keeping track of and returning items at the end of each day. Our son absolutely adores going to Stephanies' daycare. Six months ago we moved to a suburb that is about 40 minutes drive away but we have continued to send our son to Stephanie's as he is so happy there, has established some beautiful friendships with the other kids, and is learning so much. As an educator myself, I have very high standards. Stephanie continues to exceed my expectations. I'm always impressed when she sends a daily report of the activities our child has participated in. We are so grateful to have secured a position at such a remarkable service and we will continue to highly recommend the service to anyone else seeking care for their child.”
From Deirdre on Google Maps:
“I would highly recommend Stephanie, Our son started with her when he turned one, he has since received high quality early education in an engaging and safe environment.
Stephanie has numerous, daily indoor and outdoor activities available to the kids and my son has thrived from the exposure to many kinds of play and interactions with his peers.
All of his learning, play & social activities are noted by Stephanie and daily photo updates are given, which are great to see his progression and have some insight into our child’s day.
Stephanie is professional, flexible when needed & very caring towards our son, we are extremely lucky to have her, he refuses to leave when I come to collect him at times, that to me is proof enough that he is very happy to be with her."
