ABOUT US
Who We Are
TORCh Family Day Care is a home-based early childhood education and care service committed to providing safe, high-quality, and flexible childcare for children from infancy through to school age.
Our service is founded on the belief that children learn best through strong relationships, meaningful experiences, and environments where they feel secure and valued.
We support a network of carefully selected Family Day Care educators who provide education and care from their own homes while being supported, monitored, and guided by our coordination team.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality, nurturing, and inclusive home-based education and care that supports children’s wellbeing, learning, and development while building strong partnerships with families and communities.
Our Vision
To create a trusted community of care where children thrive, families feel supported, and educators are empowered to provide exceptional early childhood education and care.
OUR VALUES
These values guide how we interact with children, families, educators, and the wider community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our Beliefs About Children
At TORCh Family Day Care, we believe every child is unique, capable, curious, and full of potential. Children learn best through play, exploration, relationships, and meaningful experiences. We support children to develop confidence, independence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging as active participants in their own learning.
Our Approach to Learning
Our educational programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). We provide play-based learning experiences through everyday routines, intentional teaching, exploration, nature-based activities, and meaningful relationships. Programs are tailored to each child’s interests, strengths, and developmental needs.
Our Commitment to Families
We believe families are children’s first and most important educators. We are committed to building trusting relationships through open communication, respecting family values and culture, and working in partnership to support each child’s learning and wellbeing.
Inclusion and Diversity
TORCh FDC welcomes all children and families.
We celebrate diversity and strive to create environments where every child and family feels a genuine sense of belonging.
