FDCA is proud to announce that nominations are now open for the 2026 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.
Behind every confident first step, new friendship, moment of discovery and every family supported through the everyday pressures of life, there is someone making a difference.
Across Australia, educators, coordinators and services create nurturing environments where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn while building trusted relationships with families and shaping children's futures.
As Australia's only national awards program dedicated to family day care, the Awards celebrate the extraordinary contribution these professionals make every day and recognise those whose dedication enriches the lives of children and families nationwide.
Every nomination tells a story. A story of care. A story of support. A story of someone who has gone above and beyond to make a meaningful difference.
