Footsteps By Faith is a child care service in Picton where children are accepted for who they are, thrive in their environment and become capable and engaged learners.
We are a family-owned early learning centre offering high-quality child care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. At Footsteps By Faith, our nurturing environment, consistent educators and commitment to strong relationships set us apart.
Owned by Val and Dan, our focus is to provide a high quality education and care environment, driven by close relationships between our children, families and educators.
We also provide a healthy and rewarding work environment for our educators with an emphasis on improved educator to child ratios, career support through traineeships and qualification progression and most importantly, recognition for the dedication and effort that goes into educating and caring for children.
What makes us different?
Relationships First
Relationships are the foundation of everything we do. Children are supported by familiar educators who know them deeply and genuinely care. We prioritise emotional security, trust and consistency to help each child feel safe, valued and confident in their learning journey — right from their very first day.
Play-Based Learning
Our programs are rooted in play, because that’s how children learn best. Through play children explore, create, imagine and connect with others. Educators carefully guide this process, encouraging curiosity and independence while introducing foundational skills that prepare children for school — without ever rushing them through childhood.
All-Inclusive Care
We believe high-quality child care should be simple and transparent. Our flat, $135 daily fee includes everything your child needs: nutritious meals, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, learning resources, excursions, centre events and more. There are no enrolment or administration fees — just exceptional care in a nurturing environment that supports every child and every family.
Strong Community Roots
As a family-owned centre, we’re proud to be part of the local Picton and Wollondilly community. Many of our families return with younger siblings and we value the long-term relationships we build. Our philosophy reflects kindness, empathy and respect — values that shape not just our programs, but our culture.
