Marketing your business to prospective educators and families is an important way to make sure your family day care stands out from the crowd.
Getting it right can be crucial in determining your success.

Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs) assist services in driving continuous improvement under the National Quality Framework (NQF) and are an essential tool for self-assessment and critical reflection.
As the year comes to a close, we encourage our members to take the time to look over their QIP and ensure it accurately identifies and reflects on areas of strength, areas of improvement and a current assessment of your programs and practices.
For support in this process, you may wish to take advantage of ACECQA’s new online modules covering a step-by-step look at a QIP development and review.
To access the new online modules, click here. For additional information on QIPs under the NQF, visit ACECQA’s website here.
Keep an eye out for the announcement of a special edition of our FDC Educator Hacks series, on the FDCA Facebook page.
The FDC Educator Hacks series, launched earlier this year, has proved incredibly popular with our members as a way to share easy and affordable activities, programs and ideas linked to the National Quality Standard (NQS).
We’re excited to bring it back one last time for 2021 in celebration of the year that’s been and the year to come!
Entries will open this Friday 10 December 2021, where the theme and prize will be revealed.
