Our 100th edition of JiGSAW has hit the printers and is on its way to members!
Inside the magazine you’ll find Family Day Care Australia’s Strategic Plan for 2022-2025 along with our Key Initiatives for 2022-2023.
You’ll also be able to read about Bright Futures Intergenerational Playgroup and hear from educator Lois Toms, who recently celebrated 30 years in the family day care sector!
Be You and ACECQA are featured as well, sharing advice on planning for child empowerment and supporting continuous improvement.
As Australia’s only magazine dedicated to family day care, we are proud to celebrate this incredible milestone.
Finding the time and budget to promote your business is tricky! Pamphlets, posters, websites and social media pages are crucial marketing tools but filling them with content that’s high quality and family day care specific isn’t always easy.
That’s why we’ve launched the Family Day Care Australia (FDCA), Family Day Care Photo Library, which you can access here through your Member Zone.
Containing over 145 high resolution photos, the Family Day Care Photo Library is FREE to access and showcases a range of family day care environments and educational programs.
These images were captured as part of a series of photoshoots FDCA undertook in partnership with services and educators - real educators and children in real family day care homes!
Use the photographs for social media posts or add an extra “wow” factor to your hard copy resources, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Education Ministers across the country have endorsed the Shaping Our Future: Implementation and Evaluation Plan. This document details how the 21 national workforce actions arising from the National Children’s Education and Care Workforce Strategy (2022-2031) will be progressed, monitored and reviewed.
Background
The National Workforce Strategy was originally developed and published to support the recruitment, retention, sustainability and quality of the sector workforce.
In October 2021, Education Ministers approved the publication of the strategy and requested work commence on an implementation and evaluation plan, to guide collaborative efforts to achieve the strategy’s objectives.
As members of the national stakeholder reference group, FDCA will continue to ensure that the voice of our membership and the needs of our sector are reflected in workforce strategies.
