Experience

I, Angie Wyper, am a trained family day carer with 14 years experience and have previously experience working in long day care and preschool.

I am an accredited, licensed and registered carer who is registered through Sutherland Shire Council Family Day Care Unit and have a certificate in senior first aid and child protection. My own children are both of school age. 

Philosophy 

My Goal - To work in partnership with parents and to bring out the best in each child in care. 

My Commitment - To keep parents informed of the happenings in their child's day and to be available to discuss needs, concerns and progress at ALL times. This either being done verbally by telephone contact, by appointment or written in your child's daily communication book.

To provide a nurturing, friendly and caring atmosphere within an educational environment.

To have fun and laughter while participating in daily activities and to develop feelings of trust and security for both children and parents.

My desire is to support parents by providing a happy, loving and alternative family for their child by using my home environment and to give the opportunity for each child to develop to their maximum potential through learning experiences and through structured or unstructured play which is varied and fun.

Positively guiding them though social, emotional and intellectual development.

Keeping families informed by writing a summary of their child's day into a communication book.

Typical Routine/Activities

• The routine is varied according to age, preference and development needs of the child present in care in any particular day and each child's individual meal and sleep times are respected and catered for at all times.

• Typical Activities: school readiness for pre-schoolers, age appropriate activities for individual child development, painting, pasting, drawing, stamping, stickers, play dough, threading, cutting; dramatic play, sorting colours and patterns, cutting, punching shapes and paper press, outdoor play, dress ups etc.

• Outdoor activities: bikes, cars, balls, games, dance and music, water play, balancing toys, walk to the park and sometimes little picnic outdoors, basketball, push pull toys.

• We sometimes watch the ABC program on TV however; TV is not part of the main activities.

• These activities may vary due to changes in weather and respecting children's individual sleep times.
