Our Care Philosophy & Values
"Your home away from home, where children belong, grow, and shine."
Every child is a unique individual. I value and nurture each child's natural curiosity and strengths, encouraging them to explore, create, and discover through play-based learning every single day.
Our beautiful local bushland is our extended classroom. Daily outdoor time, garden play, pram walks through nature trails, and growing our own vegetables connect children to the natural world around them.
Families are the most important influence in a child's life. I work hand-in-hand with parents, keeping communication open, warm, and consistent, because raising children is truly a team effort.
All cultures, backgrounds, and family structures are welcomed and celebrated. I acknowledge and pay respect to the Whadjuk Noongar people as traditional custodians of this land.
Following the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), I plan engaging, child-led programs that build confidence, language, social skills, and a genuine love of learning. Progress is shared with families regularly.

What Perth Hills Families Say About Aunty Joy's Place
We have never seen our child happier since enrolling here, our 3 year old boy wakes up every morning telling us how eager he is to meet his Aunty Joy. His growth and development has been exponential on a daily basis, most importantly, the environment is really safe and clean which provides us a real peace of mind dropping him off everyday. We especially loved how he gets to go out to see the world on his short trips out of the home for visitations and excursions for play and learning purposes.
We are so fortunate to have found Aunty Joy's place for our daughter. She absolutely loves it there and is thriving in such an enriching environment. Being in a small group at family daycare gives her more opportunity for learning and growth and with the variety of activities and outings she remains engaged and is blossoming.
