19.01.2022 It would be awesome if our children could say things like, Hey mom, I’m really feeling down lately and could use a day of connection with you. Buuuuut.... th...at’s not probably gonna happen. Because they’re kids. And their emotions are still really big and scary. And they haven’t developed enough yet to help them respond to those feelings in the ways we might as adults. If you’re noticing a lot of challenging behaviors from your child (especially during these uncertain times when everyone is a bit more on edge than normal), it’s likely a desperate cry for love and attention. Honor that need, remember to respond with love, and find time to connect on a deeper level with your child as soon as possible.

17.01.2022 Free Childcare Costs FDC Services Half Their Earnings Written by Lorina April 9, 2020 Prime Minister, Scott Morrison revealed last week, free childcare during the coronavirus pandemic to encourage essential workers to continue working during this time. With around one million families given access to free. For FDC Services, the ‘free childcare’ system means they will earn half of what they normally earn, despite working the same hours with the same children.... Ms Whilte, owner of an FDC in Sydney's north shore said "What the government has failed to mention is that child care is free for the parents at my expense and at the expense of every Family Day Care Educator who has had her income halved over a matter of days. I am taking a 50 per cent pay cut so that families who are still working and earning their full pay can have free child care". How the Childcare Subsidy Works Some Australian families are eligible for a childcare subsidy from the government, which is then passed on directly to child care providers, who then subsidise the cost of the day for the parent. Families then make a co-contribution to their childcare fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidy amount a gap. The subsidy parents receive is means tested, meaning it is dependent on the combined annual family income. If a centre typically charges $100 per day, the government may pay $45, with the parents paying $55 if they earn a low income. If they earn a higher income, the government may only pay $25, while the parents pay $75. How Free Childcare Works Under the plan, the government will pay 50 per cent of the sector’s fee revenue up to the existing hourly rate cap, so long as services remain open and do not charge families for care, the government said. The funding will apply from April 6 and is based on the number of children who were in care during the fortnight leading into March 2, whether or not they are attending services. What this means is that if a childcare centre charges $100 for the day, the government will pay $50 to the centre but the centre is not allowed to charge parents the remaining $50 gap, meaning these centres lose income. All Family Day Care Educators are in the same position and are now expected to do it for half the income.

15.01.2022 We can't reinforce with parents and families enough, and we should not be contributing to screen time in our services. Young children need human connection to d...evelop, not a screen, and there is nothing they can learn from a screen they can't learn through play. Edit - Recording and research YES! See more
