Celebrating National Family Day Care week
Inner West Council is celebrating National Family Day Care Week with a series of events in early May. Media are invited to attend a morning tea on Tuesday, 8 May, from 9:30am.
Now in its sixth year, National Family Day Care Week is held from Monday, 7 May to Sunday, 13 May.
National Family Day Care Week recognises and promotes the important role family day care educators and services play in the development and wellbeing of more than 206,000 children across Australia.
The 2018 theme, Every Child is a Star, celebrates identity, culture and community.
Inner West Council Family Day Care (FDC) service will host a morning tea, at 22 Foster Street, Leichhardt from 9:30am-12 noon.
The morning will feature:
• Awards presented to educators for their long service
• Face painters and entertainment
