20.01.2022 Today I received notification that I have been nominated in the 2020 Excellence in Family Day Care Educator of the Year awards. What a wonderful surprise to be nominated! Thank you to whoever it was that took the time to nominate me for this award. It has been a rollercoaster of a year (not just for me) and this really means so much ... I am so lucky to have my small business recognised and supported in the local community. Being able to do something that I love so much, and with my most wonderful FDC children and their families, is simply the greatest Thank you again so much, Ash.

16.01.2022 Hello friends, family and FB followers - I wanted to let you all know that Ash’s FDC will be finishing up at the end of 2020. I am excited to focus on and pursue my career in Allied Health in 2021, and am looking forward to all of the challenges and adventures that will come my way. ... The last 14 years spent working in early childhood and FDC have been some of the greatest. I have loved creating and discovering, smiling and laughing, and observing and learning alongside all of my little friends over the years. Forming such close relationships with the children and their families has been the absolute highlight. I am grateful that living in a small community, I will still be able to see the smiling faces of my kids around town. Thank you to everyone that has supported me, especially over the last few years in FDC. Looking forward to following this new path and seeing what comes my way
