Hi, thanks for looking at my website. My name is Ann Marie.



I am originally from the North West of England. In the year 2000 I came with my partner, Marc, to Australia. We had our son, Ryan, one year later and he is now 10. My professional background before Ryan came along has always been in retail and hospitality. I switched to child care through attending the Fitness First gym and leaving Ryan in their Junior Care. In 2003 I started work in Junior Care myself as a Junior Care Assistant and enjoyed it so much that I decided to get qualified. In December 2005 received my Tafe Certificate III with Distinction. I decided to further my qualifications with a Diploma and received this in 2006. During my training at Tafe, I became aware of Family Day Care and in October 2006 opened up Ann’s Place. It is a demanding and responsible position to be in, but very rewarding. The age group I look after is from 0 to 3 years and I feel privileged to be a part of their life and assist them with their emerging skills







The Daily Program

During the day, an educational program is provided for your child as well as child care. I carefully plan and supervise the program.

 
Children are free to choose the area of interest in which they will participate throughout the day both as individuals and part of the group.

 
Sharing and co-operating with other children are encouraged. Children’s washing, lunch and rest routines are carefully designed to enhance the developmental stages of each individual child and promote independence.

 
Every day the children are given a range of developmentally and age appropriate activities which cover the following areas: 
Art and Craft 
Fine Motor
Construction
Dramatic Play
Language and Music
Outdoors
