Every child attending a Queensland early childhood education and care service, including school age care, has the right to feel safe - culturally, emotionally and physically.
Engaging in inappropriate, unkind, discriminatory or disrespectful interactions with children including inappropriate discipline can have profound and lasting consequences, impacting a child's emotional wellbeing, trust in others, and overall development. Not only is this kind of conduct unprofessional and unethical, it's against the law.
We recognise and appreciate the critical role of early childhood educators, including teachers, in creating nurturing environments filled with positive interactions that support children's social and emotional development, stimulate learning, and allow children to build a sense of belonging.
By working together and supporting all educators to be their best every day, we can ensure that our services are a place where children feel safe, secure and self-confident.
This Statement of Shared Commitment has been collaboratively developed between sector stakeholders, peak bodies and government. It recognises that the role of educators can be challenging, but with the right guidance and support to nurture positive relationships with children, we can make sure that every interaction counts.

Our Philosophy
At CRFDC, we see children as unique individuals and capable learners with their own strengths, stories, and ways of making sense of the world. Our philosophy is built on the belief that all children thrive in environments where they feel a deep sense of belonging, where their identities are affirmed, and where their voices matter.
We embrace a child-led, play-based approach that allows learning to unfold naturally and meaningfully. Our educators provide warm, home-based settings where children build secure relationships and learn at their own pace, surrounded by familiar routines and genuine care.
Families are at the heart of our service. We deeply respect and value the knowledge, culture, and experiences each family brings, and we work in partnership to ensure that every child’s learning journey reflects their individual background and values.
We are proud to support inclusive practices that honour and celebrate diversity—welcoming families of all cultures, languages, and beliefs. We intentionally create environments that are not only safe and nurturing, but also culturally responsive and empowering for every child.
As a community of professionals, we are committed to reflective practice and continuous improvement. We learn from each other, embrace feedback, and invest in our growth so we can deliver the very best outcomes for children and families.
At its core, our philosophy is simple: every child deserves to feel loved, capable, and inspired to explore the world with wonder.
