National Finalists Announced in 2023 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards

Family Day Care Australia (FDCA) has today named the National Finalists in the 2023 Family Day Care Australia Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

 

Having recently named 71 educators as regional winners, FDCA is proud to name the four educators that have been selected as the 2023 National Finalists. In addition to the educators, four services and four coordinators have also been selected as National Finalists in this year’s awards.

 

National finalists are recognised for having demonstrated exemplary support of children, their families, educators and local community.

 

Now in its twelfth year, FDCA is proudly celebrating educators, coordinators and services across the country through the Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

 

The Awards showcase the unique benefits of family day care, which is the natural choice of early childhood education and care for many families across Australia.

 

The Excellence in Family Day Care Awards program is the only national awards program dedicated to recognising the work and achievements of those within the family day care sector across Australia.

 

Family Day Care Australia Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Paterson, described the incredible achievements of this year’s Award recipients.

 

“This year we received over 5,000 awards nominations, a testament to the irreplaceable role of those working in the family day care sector across Australia,” said Mr Paterson. “Our educators, service staff and coordinators are the lifeblood of our sector.”

 

The Awards promote the valuable contribution family day care makes to more than 85,000 children across the country each day.

 

“The Awards play a key role in recognising the achievements of educators, coordinators and services on a national level and provide an opportunity to promote the unique benefits of family day care to Australian families,” said Mr Paterson.

The National Winners of the Year will be announced on 25 November 2023 at the FDCA Excellence in Family Day Care Awards Gala Dinner in Adelaide.
