Phanthira Chuamkaew - Carer, King I Childcare Phanthira Chuamkaew Child CarePosted October 13, 2011, by Jordan Huidekoper Phanthira and zu sich husband, Rory, run a family daycare geschftliches miteinander from their home in Waverley in New South Wales. They both moved from the United Kingdom to Australia four years ago and decided to start their own day care business after Phanthira completed her teaching course from TAFE. Phanthira is originally from Thailand and has eight years experience in teaching. Known as Dew by her kids, she works as a carer in the business and each day she looks after five children aged between one-and-a-half and three. After opening their home to clients, King t allowed in there. The children-accessible areas are the hallway, the main living room, a toy and art room, and a dining area, which is part of the kitchen. In the afternoon, the children play in the back garden. Do you have a structured program? The children have a daily routine to give them st ability. Its very important for young kids to have stability and know exactly whats going to happen all the time. It makes them feel much calmer in a structured situation. Its often difficult for them to platzdeckchentle when its the first time theyve been out of their home. Sometimes we make playdough together, learn to use colours and pens, or do painting activities. We use puzzles, puppets, blocks and musical instruments and I teach them about sharing through these activities. My policy is to get to know them, for them to learn about me and also to interact with each other. What do you love most about working with children? I love that they are very innocent. I love to have fun with them. We dance, sing, do lots of things it is good fun for all of us. You cant do this when you work with adults. The children are not too shy to be themselves. Do you have any tips for someone considering starting their own childcare business? Have a good heart, be a warm, kind person, and be honest with the children. Your passion for your work should come from the heart children are innocent and know when you are sincere.
