Family day careFamily day care is a form of childcare that is provided

in the family day carer’s own home for a small group of

children. Individual family day care educator has meet

the qualification requirements and they are registered

with a family day care service whose role is to approve,

support, train and advise family day carers.

Family day care educators must be approved early

childhood education and care professionals who

engage in the principles and practices of the Early

Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and work within

the requirements of the National Quality Framework,

ensuring Children’s health and safety, preparing the

physical environment or including an educational

program and assessments for children’s learning.

The educator must not educate and care for more

than 7 children. At any one time no more than 4 can be

preschool age or under. This includes the educator’s

own children.

THE CO-ORDINATION UNIT

The co-ordination unit’s responsibilities include:

• To support educator, children and families.

• To make sure that your place operates in

accordance with all relevant legislation.

• To assess, approve, train and monitor registered

educators.

• To visit and make contact with educators to provide

information, support and training.

• To inspect the educator home and assist them to

identify risks or hazards that may cause harm or

injury to children in their care.

• To maintain a high level of quality of care and

childhood education.

• To administer payments.

Our philosophyThe first years in the child’s life are the most important

years to form the foundations of all later learning and

development. The greatest brain development and

growth occurs and it is a time when early experiences

influence attitudes and dispositions and learning.

The child’s brain is a powerful learning engine that

needs to be constantly stimulated through play with

age appropriate activities that encourage talents and

build cognitive skills at their own pace.

BLUE LAB is starting a reconversion to become a

Reggio Emilia inspired Service. Our educators receive

training and resources to embrace this approach in

their places at their own pace.

WE STRONGLY BELIEVE ALL CHILDREN ARE

STRONG, CAPABLE AND RESILIENT; FULL OF

WONDER AND KNOWLEDGE

We provide opportunities for children to share

their ideas, opinions and make connections in their

learning journey. The individuality of each child is

respected and nurtured.

THE ENVIRONMENT AS A THIRD TEACHER

Paying thoughtful attention to creating an

environment that enables children to develop

relationships with the world around them,

themselves and each other is an important aspect

our program. A well planned safe, an inviting

environment with natural and open ended

resources which should be invit ing and cultivate

children’s curiosity, wonder and imagination.

Materials are easily accessible and uncluttered

and invit ing.

Every resource is carefully considered for its

purpose and sustainabil ity is considered.

OBSERVE AND LISTEN

The educator follows a pedagogy of observing

and listening to children and practicing the art of

conversations that lead into experiences based on

children’s interests.

Educator Prospective Package

TRIANGLE OF PARTNERSHIP

We recognise the importance of working in

partnership with families, educators and children to

achieve common goals for their child.

PROJECT BASED LEARNING PROVIDES CHILDREN

WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO INVESTIGATE AND

EXPLORE AN AREA OF INTEREST

This includes inquiry based projects, which can last

for as long as the children are showing interest in

the topic. It is our belief that projects give children

an opportunity engage in inquiry based play, to

investigate and discover an area of personal interest

and provide children with the power to construct

their own learning.

RESPECTFUL ATTITUDE

Respect is one of our important values. Respect for

ourselves, for all people and all the living things.

STAFF GROWTH

We are committed to growing the capacity of our

Staff and Educators. To achieve this, we will continue

to focus on professional development, with group

sessions, individual training when needed, and our

training online portal where educators can improve

their practice at their own pace.

Our Philosophy

9

Reggio Emilia ApproachThe Reggio Emilia Philosophy is an innovative

and inspiring approach, which values the child as

strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and

knowledge. The Philosophy rides on the coattails of

the innate curiosity of children and aims to assist them

with understanding their world and who they are in it.

Children are allowed to explore and discover in

a supportive and rich environment, where the

curriculum is created around the children’s interests.

To understand it better, it’s important to know the

three core principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy:

the child, the environment, and the teacher.

THE CHILD

The Reggio Emilia philosophy values the child as

central to their own learning, not simply an empty

vessel waiting to be filled with knowledge. Children are

able to pursue their own interests and revisit and build

upon ideas at their own pace. You may have heard of

something called the ‘100 languages of children’. This

concept recognises that children have multiple ways

of thinking, playing, exploring, speaking and doing.

The Reggio Emilia approach encourages children to

use every tool they have to express themselves.

THE ENVIRONMENT

A Reggio-inspired environment, often referred to

as ‘the third teacher’, is one that is open and free-

flowing. It enables uninterrupted exploration, play

and learning. Outdoor spaces are valued just as

highly as indoor areas, and the design of the space

should allow children to move freely between the

two. In addition, it is important that children have

free access to stimulating resources, as they cannot

be the owner of their learning journey without this.

With a project based learning educators provide

children with opportunities to investigate and explore

an area of interest, and provide children with the

power to construct their own learning. The projects

are organized with photos, books, free-use learning

stations and related resources.

THE EDUCATOR

Educator are encouraged to observe children. It is

important that children are allowed to experiment in

their own way, make mistakes and find new solutions.

The role of the educator is to gently move children


10

towards areas of interest to them, and this can only

be done through careful observation carried out

over time. Educators have to work with families and

coordinators for the development of community.

As a Reggio Emilia inspired service our educators:

• Have access to some courses in our online portal

to know more about this approach.

• Have unlimited access to our recycled materials

like fabric, cardboard, clean industrial discards,

pieces of wood, plastic pieces, boxes…

• Receive support and documentation for the setup

of the environment.

• Join to a private group to find suggested

provocations and learning stations.

• Have access to the regular meetings of Reggio

Emilia Australia Information Exchange.

• Prepare the environment like the third teacher,

including some defined spaces for children’s

learning (guidelines document available for

educators).

• Use provocations and learning stations.

• Are aware about the one hundred languages of the

children, offering a variety of creative experiences

that allow children express by themselves.

• Arrange a space for the children’s works to be

exhibited.

• Support families to be involved in the service.

Reggio Emilia Approach

11

Learning HappinessWe want to introduce children to a range of positive

psychology topics such as wellbeing, resilience,

personal responsibility, growth mindsets, self-

regulation, kindness, mindfulness, and gratitude.

For this reason BLUE LAB started the Learning

Happiness project (www.learninghappiness.club)

with 3 different initiatives:

• Be you (old Kidsmatter)

• Mindfulness

• Growth mindset.

Educators joined to BLUE LAB have access to a

program by supporting them to develop their mental

health skills and knowledge to foster and support

mental health and wellbeing in children.


12

Small Green StepsWe follow the Small Green Steps program. It is a four

part program designed to be completed by Childcare

services as a group. The program will give usall we

need to embed sustainable practices across our

service and help us encourage children to develop a

love of nature.

Educators have available a course with a summary of

this program to become a more sustainable service.

13

Small Safe StepsWe started in 2019 a four-part SAFETY program

designed to be completed by Childcare services

as a group. The program material has been written

specifically to comply with Australian Work Health

and Safety (WHS) legislation to help us maintain a safe

work place for employees, volunteers and contractors.

Completion of the program will also help us meet the

National Quality Standards and create a safe learning

environment for children in our care.

The program has 40 steps that we will have to

complete. A new risk management document,

policies and procedures will be developed based in

this program.

A course for educators will be developed with a

summary of this program. This course will include

WHS information, risk management templates, fire

management, lifting techniques, hazard & accident

reporting, safety inspection templates, evacuation,

security measures... All we need to do our FDC a safe

place for staff, educators, families and children.

NQS RatingBLUE LAB has gone through the NQS rating process

by the Education and Care Regulatory Unit. The rating

measures the quality of any Early Childhood Service

in Australia. It examines seven areas and scores them

within a four scale system:

• Needs improvement

• Working Towards,

• Meeting and

• Exceeding what is expected.

BLUE LAB has scored 5 Meeting and 2 Exceeding.

These last ones were in Relationship with Children and

Collaborative with Families, where it really matters.

BUT HOW GOOD OUR SCORE IS? IS IT JUST GOOD…

OR REALLY GOOD?

OK, let’s put things into perspective! First, there are 36

FDC Services in WA.

• 78% of them were graded with at least one

Working Towards rate. Only 8 services are above

with Meeting or Exceeding scores only. We are

part of this Top 8.

• The QA1 area is Program and Practice. Only the

39% (10 in total) of the WA FDC Services got a

Meeting or Exceeding scores. BLUE LAB is one of

them.

• The QA5 area is Relationship with Children. Only

the 22% (8 in total) of the WA FDC Services got an

Exceeding score. As we did.

• The QA6 area is Collaborative with Families. Only

the 16% (6 in total) of the Services exceeded

expectations. As we did too.

This impressive achievement is not only possible

because the BLUE LAB Scheme but the hard work

of our talented and experienced educators. We are

growing and willing to make a difference, so we expect

to step up our results the next year.

So whatever you are, parent or educator, BLUE LAB is

one of the best choices for you!!

PartnershipsBLUE LAB believes in the perfect triangle of education:

educators, family and community. For that reason,

BLUE LAB, in addition to maintaining close contact

with the community, maintains a number of partnerships

with different organizations to ensure a comprehensive

education for children.

The Small Green Steps program has been designed to

provide with all we need to embed sustainable practices

across our service and meet the National Quality

Framework environmental objectives. The service leads

the program, creation an Action Plan, and provide to the

educators with relevant documentation and resources.

The service joins the 40 steps program and completes a

checklist to earn a certificate for each level.

BLUE LAB has an agreement

with the software company

EarlyWorks. It is not a simple

application to publish

photographs, EarlyWorks

is a complete information

system to manage the routine,

curriculum and documentation for children and offer a

direct involvement for parents in the children education.

Families have direct access to the programs, routines,

activities, documentation and assessments about their

children, becoming active partners in the education of

their children.

Be You aims to transform Australia’s approach to supporting

children’s and young people’s mental health in early

learning services and schools, from early years to 18.

Educational Leaders are influential in inspiring,

motivating and also challenging and extending

the pedagogy and practice of Educators in every

approved education and care service.

Sun exposure in childhood and adolescence greatly

increases the chances of developing skin cancer later

in life. The SunSmart Centres program aims to minimise

exposure to UV radiation from the sun during early

childhood development and encourage children to

practise Sun protective behaviours themselves.
