Families

For many children and their families, commencing child care is their first experience of separation. It is an experience that can be daunting and should be managed so that the process is as smooth as possible for all involved, especially the child. The experiences of families and their children during the enrolment and orientation processes strongly influence the quality of their future relationships with the Service.

Empowered FDC and their Educators are committed to working in partnerships with families to best meet the education and care needs of the children. This commitment is communicated to parents at enrolment and during orientation, as it is the belief that effective partnerships can only be achieved when information is exchanged regularly.

The enrolment and orientation processes are designed to be the beginning of the partnership. Parents are asked to provide as much information as possible about their child and the family background (e.g. cultural, allergies, religious, food preferences), and are provided with detailed verbal and written information about Empowered FDC and its practices. Parents have access to their own parent portal which hosts policies, newsletters, forms, invoicing and accounting records, educational programs and observations of their child/ren learning journey. Our friendly team is here to guide you and assist with any questions you may have big or small so never hesitate to call us.
