Why Choose Us?
At Katrina’s Family Daycare, your child is not just cared for — they are supported, encouraged, and celebrated every day.
With small group sizes, children receive individualised care and attention, allowing us to truly understand their needs, interests, and strengths. Our program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and focuses on play-based learning that supports children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
We pride ourselves on creating a warm, family-like atmosphere where children feel secure, respected, and included. Strong relationships with families are central to our approach, and we maintain open, ongoing communication to ensure families feel confident and connected to their child’s care and learning.
