About Us

Alice Springs Fam­i­ly Day Care Inc is a com­mu­ni­ty based not for prof­it organ­i­sa­tion, finan­cial­ly sup­port­ed by the Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion. The organ­i­sa­tion is gov­erned by the NT leg­is­la­tion. click on the links below for further information.

Fam­i­ly Day Care com­bines the ben­e­fits of oth­er child­care options with the warmth and inti­ma­cy of being in a family home. Chil­dren in Fam­i­ly Day Care devel­op a close rela­tion­ship with the Edu­ca­tor while being encour­aged to learn through play-based pro­grams. The small­er sized groups of chil­dren in Fam­i­ly Day Care create a space where chil­dren receive more indi­vid­ual atten­tion as well as the social inter­ac­tion they need and enjoy. Research suggests there are more positive outcomes for children in home-based care, particularly for under three-year-olds.

We believe that chil­dren are strong, interde­pen­dent, and capa­ble indi­vid­u­als with a right to high-qual­i­ty edu­ca­tion and care. We val­ue each child’s voice and abil­i­ties, sup­port­ing their eager­ness to learn and grow. We hold high expec­ta­tions for children’s learn­ing and sup­port them through the process.

Learning Through Play!


Alice Springs Fam­i­ly Day Care endorses learn­ing through play with small, respon­sive, and nur­tur­ing envi­ron­ments. We pro­vide flex­i­ble, wel­com­ing spaces that pro­mote and respect children’s choic­es. We believe in pro­vid­ing age-appropriate chal­lenge to enrich learn­ing and devel­op­ment, and rec­og­nis­ing and sup­port­ing their unique, indi­vid­u­al­ personalities.

Quality nurturing care and education in small groups leads to secure attachments which is critical for a child's development, positive sense of self, security and sense of belonging where children can reach their full potential.
