Educator Profiles
I am Sadia from Bangladesh.
I have more than 8 years of experience within the child care sector.
My aim is to provide a warm, safe, secure and nurturing environment.
I will strive to build trusting relationships with all children, to enhance each child’s sense of belonging and wellbeing, which in return supports each child’s holistic development.
I am Hannah
I have been working within early childhood education since 2010.
I started my own adventure and family day care business with Family Day Care in 2018.
I love the opportunity for learning beyond walls and how the children don’t feel limited by their surroundings.
I am Melissa and have lived in Alice Springs since 2007 with my husband and 4 sons and been an Educator with ASFDC since 2015.
My day care environment consists of a large grassed yard with many places for children of all ages to explore, play and learn. Vegetable gardens, fruit trees, chickens and ducks are all part of our program and I encourage all the children to become involved – which means getting dirty and hands on with nature. Following the EYLF we learn through play which gives me the opportunity to build on learning experiences by following the children’s interests.
We love getting out and about in the community and go on excursions to various locations around town, including playgroup and play gym ran by ASFDC.
My favorite thing about FDC is the trust and relationships we build with the children and families.
I am Julie and I started my childcare journey with ASFDC in 1983 to enable me to earn a small income while being home with my own children. Many moons and countless daycare children later (while there have been challenges like increased regulations and paperwork) helping out families and watching their children grow and blossom has been the ultimate reward.
About 20 years ago while on an international childcare conference in Sweden I came across this poem which is a reminder of why I continue to and love working with children.
A Hundred Years From Now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in or the kind of car I drove but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a CHILD.

As an educator, I am an extension of you; your children become an extension of my family.I willensure that your children are shown all the care, love and protection that you as their parent give them, and they deserve.
