Alice Springs Family Day Care (ASFDC) is a FDC coordination service based in Alice Springs – a remote town in central Australia, roughly half way between Adelaide and Darwin.
ASFDC, at time of press, has five educators listed on its website, and is rated as Meeting the National Quality Standard. What is the history of ASFDC?Service approval was granted in June 2013, however one educator has been involved with the service since the early 1980s, suggesting the scheme has been in place for at least 40 years. What is ASFDC’s vision and approach to learning? Central to the work of all ASFDC educators is the understanding that families are their child’s first teacher and respecting individual practices and diverse perspectives.
“We value the voice of children, families, educators and staff and act to promote strong collaborative partnerships based on mutual respect, support and communication in order to gain the best outcomes for the child,” the provider said.
“We believe we play a key part in strengthening the lives of children and help them become happy, confident people with a love of lifelong learning as well as possessing valuable life skills. Through our work, we aim for children to have a strong sense of health and well being.”
“ASFDC will be united as a community of culturally diverse learners, children, families and professionals, who provide highest quality education and care in Alice Springs and advocate for quality early childhood education.”
Are there any unique aspects to the ASFDC offer?
ASFDC acknowledges that it operates on the lands of the Arrernte people, recognising its part within the close-knit, unique and diverse community of Alice Springs.
“We value the cultural diversity of our desert town and understand the significance of our shared experiences within the history of Central Australia,” the provider notes.
