About Us

Bowen/Collinsville Family Day Care is a not-for-profit incorporated association providing family-based day care for children in the Bowen and Collinsville region. Early Childhood Educators are registered with the scheme and operate as private contractors.

The association is governed by a board of management which consists of representatives including parents, educators, coordinators, and members of the general community. The Association has operated since 1991 and currently has a staff of two coordinators.

The Association receives funding from the federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to coordinate service delivery, support and provide professional development opportunities for educators, and to monitor compliance with the various standards, and legislation.

As part of the national childcare framework, Bowen/Collinsville Family Day Care abides by state licensing, national standards and the national childcare accreditation system to ensure that the quality of care is of the highest standard. Although there is no mandatory qualification for educators, almost all of our educators have formal qualifications in child care

Bowen/Collinsville Family Day Care is locally operated and community-based organisation dedicated to providing quality childcare care to all residents of the Bowen and Collinsville areas. We provide a valuable service for the community and pride ourselves in delivering tailored and flexible solutions to meet the individual child care needs of families.
