About me

About me

Hi, my name is Frances Svilicich. I am a proud new grandmother with two grown children, a son and a daughter in their twenties

After years of working in long daycare, I realised my dream by opening my family daycare. I find immense joy in teaching children essential life skills and witnessing their growth from infancy through to their Pre primary years. 

I have a strong belief of children learning through play and I implement this daily in my routines by taking the children out on excursions and getting them to experience the world around them. Watching them develop and preparing them for school is a fulfilling part of my daily life.

I am Australian-born with a Croatian background. Family means everything to me, and all my families in the daycare, past and present, are still a part of the Growing Cherubs community.

Philosophy

Philosophy

Koolanga is an inclusive, boutique service that engages families, children, and educators regardless of culture. Building and maintaining respectful relationships while providing an alternative childcare option is paramount to us.

Our approach is guided by the EYLF principles of Belonging, Being, and Becoming. We recognise the importance of secure relationships, the present moment in children’s lives, and their ongoing growth as active societal participation.

We recognise that play-based learning engages each child’s interests and natural sense of discovery through hands-on exploration of the world around them. They are the drivers of their learning journey.

Koolanga acknowledges our diverse community and embraces the richness that diversity brings to our learning environment, fostering a sense of belonging for all.

Our kids absolutely adore Frances! She is much more than we could have ever asked for as a daycare provider, and she's not only that as her and her lovely family are now like family friends. I am so glad we found her!
