Inspired by our members and their families, Family Day Care Australia (FDCA) has developed a brand-new electronic storybook (E-Book) narrating a child’s first day of family day care!
The E-Book is designed to support the transition of children into care and showcase the natural approach to play and discovery that family day care nurtures.
FDCA members will be able to access, create and download as many versions of the E-Book as they would like, free of charge from any desktop device.*
Members will also be able to customise the names of the E-Book’s main characters, including the main child, the parent, the educator and the name of the family day care, to make the story personal to your children.
This level of customisation means that you can create a new E-Book for each child in your care, or create an E-Book for new children arriving in your care to share with their family!
Alongside the ability to choose the character names, the use of well-known Australian native animals in the illustrations will allow a wide range of readers to “step into the shoes” of their character and follow along with the adventure!
*Desktop devices include computers and laptops. Mobile devices are not currently compatible with the E-Book website
How to use the E-Book
“My Family” Day Care is available to access through your FDCA Member Zone, under the subheading E-Book.
From there, you’ll be taken to the FDCA E-Book website, created exclusively by FDCA to house the E-Book and allow members the option to customise and download their very own version in a few short minutes.
If you need help navigating the E-Book website, refer to the “Help” guide in the top right corner of the E-Book website or check out our video below:
We hope you enjoy reading “My Family” Day Care as much as we enjoyed producing it for you!
