Nomination Criteria
Family Day Care Australia is celebrating excellence in family day care by recognising outstanding services across the country.
We want you to tell us why your service deserves to be recognised. You may wish to consider:
- How does the service support you in delivering quality outcomes for children?
- How does the service engage educators and work collaboratively?
- Does the service undertake any unique or innovative approaches in educational practice or business management?
Selection Criteria for Supporting Submissions
Submissions for the Excellence in Family Day Care Awards should reflect on the past 12-months only and provide as many practical and specific examples as possible.
Submissions received by services will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- What has been the vision for your service over the past 12 months and what values do you prioritise in your organisation? How is this reflected in all aspects of your service's operations?
- What steps do you take to continuously improve the quality of your family day care service and how might you incorporate feedback from children, families and educators to inform your practices and initiatives?
- How does your service foster supportive relationships with service staff, educators and families, and meaningfully engage with the wider community?
