About Rosa
I’m a single mother of three beautiful children and an affectionate people loving dog, and I have a deep love for creativity, painting, and my latest passion — crochet.
My home and heart are full of colour, warmth, and purpose, all of which I bring into my work supporting passionate family day care educators.
I believe that Family Day Care is not about competition, but about connection. My mission is to create a community of educators who support one another, share knowledge, and grow together.
One of my favourite quotes is: “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” That philosophy is at the heart of how I lead — encouraging collaboration, kindness, and continuous learning across our network.
With a focus on nurturing relationships, I work closely with educators to help them provide high-quality, home-based care in safe and enriching environments. I am deeply committed to helping each educator feel valued, confident, and supported — because when educators thrive, children and families benefit too.
Together, we’re building more than a service — we’re building a community where everyone shines.
Our Philosophy
FDC United Educators Scheme prides itself on being passionate, committed, dedicated and supportive in building partnerships based on respect, honesty and mutual trust between families, educators, staff and children. We believe that the key foundation for our scheme to succeed is ‘unity’.
We believe children learn through play. Our learning environments are homely and encourage children to explore, solve problems, create and construct. Our Educators develop genuine relationships with children, taking a holistic approach. Every child has a voice, educators encourage children to share their ideas, opinions and involve children in making decisions. These decisions may be just of “Being” in the moment.
We embrace cultural diversity. Children are born “belonging” to a culture and we aim to build respectful and supportive relationships with all the families in our service and value the knowledge and culture that family brings to their child’s learning. We believe families are the child’s first teacher and collaboration supports children in reaching their full potential.
We value and acknowledge the importance that the community has in a child’s self identity and their position within society. Our Educators are supported and encouraged to take children on regular excursions. We support children in “Becoming” and learning to participate in society and developing environmental awareness to build a more sustainable future.
We value and support our educators and staff to become lifelong learners and nurture their professional development through attending various training and liaising with other professionals for reflective discussions on their pedagogy and practice. This supports their documentation and daily practice and hence creates meaningful experiences.
We value feedback from educators and staff and recognise the contribution they make to the service. It is in this ongoing cycle of review that new ideas are generated helping us continually strive to build a quality scheme that works for the educator, families, children and community.
