Philosophy

Holistic Approach Family Day Care Philosophy. Holistic Approach encompasses the ethos that all members play an intricate role, as contributors to the Holistic Approach FDC team. It is important that Management, Educators, Families and Communities have a strong sense of belonging, being and becoming at Holistic Approach FDC. Holistic Approach Management is committed to developing strong, inclusive relationships with our educators. Every Educator’s background, education and families are unique, and Management acknowledges, respects and values each educator's journey in family day care. It is with this knowledge that Holistic Approach Management is able to offer support and guidance that is tailored to each educator’s individual needs. Holistic Approach FDC believes that educator’s Philosophy and learning environment is very important to each child’s Early Education and care experience. We believe that the strong foundation set by our FDC Educators, sets up the individual child on a pathway to success, intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially, with the understanding that a strong sense of belonging can ease the pathway from early years to adolescence and into adulthood. It is important to look at each child from a holistic and inclusive perspective. This is achieved with the underlying commitment that a strong sense of identity, connection and wellbeing is nurtured and promoted with children, the children’s families and the community through respectful, reciprocal communication and education. Holistic Approach FDC believes in co-programming (co-curriculum) which holistically involves children, families and the community in both, the planning and reflection processes. It is not the volume of our documentation, but it’s variety, our holistic approach, meaningful displays and most importantly, it’s continuous evolvement that matters the most. Connection to the land is a critical factor for each individual educator and child within their service, as it is unique depending on the location throughout Australia. Therefore, children should have opportunities to be in natural spaces and to have access to natural resources to foster an understanding, connection and respect for our land and country. It is our responsibility to support children by acknowledging our past, be in the moment and set achievable goals for the future. |
