All-in-one organisation for busy Family Day Care Educators. The FDC Combined Compliance Checklist and Programming Diary brings together two of our most-loved tools – the FDC Compliance Checklist Diary and the Programming and Reflection Diary – into one streamlined, purpose-built diary.
Featuring daily compliance checklists to support your record-keeping and meet National Quality Standard (NQS) requirements, alongside monthly programming and critical reflection pages, this diary makes it easy to stay on top of documentation and planning in one place. Designed specifically for Family Day Care settings, it supports you in delivering high-quality care while saving time and reducing paperwork.
Perfect for Educators who want to simplify their systems without compromising on quality, this combined diary aligns with BOTH EYLF and MTOP v.2.0, supports the Cycle of Planning, and is ideal for showcasing professional practice in your day-to-day routines and Assessment and Rating visits.
Key Features:
-
Ticks the Boxes on Compliance: Stay on top of essential daily tasks such as safety checks, attendance, visitor logs, menus, sleep and health records with structured compliance pages designed to help you meet your Family Day Care requirements with ease.
- Program and Reflect in One: Your programming and reflection is now even easier with a monthly program and critical reflection spread kept in the same Diary!
- Tailored for Family Day Care Practice: This diary is purpose-built for Family Day Care Educators, featuring dedicated sections that reflect the unique flow, responsibilities, and rhythms of home-based care.
-
Created by Educators, for Educators: Developed by Leona – a former Family Day Care Educator – this diary draws on over a decade of feedback from the FDC community to ensure it truly supports real-world practice.
-
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Structure: Designed for clarity and organisation, this diary provides space for day-to-day compliance, as well as weekly planning and monthly programming and reflection to support the smooth and professional running of your service.
-
Framework-Aligned: Supports documentation that links to the National Quality Framework (NQF), Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF v.2.0) and My Time, Our Place Framework (MTOP v.2.0), helping you maintain quality standards and prepare confidently for Assessment and Rating.
The FDC Combined Compliance Checklist and Programming Diary has all of the checklists and charts you need AND program and reflections in one handy place for your Family Day Care. This diary was developed to be used in conjunction with the Family Day Care Compliance carbon copy books.
What if I prefer a Weekly Program?
Educators that prefer to capture weekly programs can do so by pairing this Diary with the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary.
"Educators [can] plan for the month and then use the weekly planner, linking and extending from that monthly plan! I love this! Our educators will be able to follow the planning cycle well! That’s going to be a big help!"
The monthly program can act as an overview of the learning you'd like to achieve, while any emerging changes, interests, observations, or goals that occur can be captured in the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary.
This Diary is an all-in-one programming, reflection and compliance tool and is not required to be paired with the Weekly Programming Diary, this is a personal preference.
Another suggestion from an FDC Educator was using the Family Communication/Notes/Activities section on the daily compliance pages to note focus children.
"The monthly layout of the program is so much better. I can see the family communication/notes/activities section [as] a place to note which children are being focused on for that day with the specific activities."
Guest Artist Collection by Penny Dodman
The 2026 Guest Artist Collection by Butler Diaries showcases four vibrant artworks by Sunshine Coast artist Penny Dodman. These pieces—Blue Heaven, Dancing with Pink, Sunny Days Glasshouse Mountains, and Desert Sisters—are featured on the covers of the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary and the Family Day Care Combined Compliance Checklist and Programming Diary. Each artwork reflects Dodman’s signature style, blending bold colours and textures to evoke themes of nature, joy, and connection. This collection aims to enrich educational environments with Australian art, offering educators aesthetically inspiring tools that support both creative expression and practical documentation.
