It includes 7 key areas important for children’s development. Services are assessed and rated by their regulatory authority in each area and given an overall rating based on these results. Educators create child-focused, engaging programs that maximize each child’s learning and development opportunities. Children have the right to quality education and care in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment. The physical environment is safe, suitable, and offers diverse experiences that promote children’s learning and development. Qualified and experienced educators build warm, respectful relationships with children, create predictable environments, and encourage active engagement in the learning program. Relationships with children are responsive, respectful, and foster a sense of security and belonging. Collaborative relationships with families are crucial for quality outcomes for children, and community partnerships based on active communication, consultation, and collaboration are essential. Effective leadership and governance of the service enhance environments for children’s learning and development. Leaders establish shared values and provide clear direction for continuous improvement. Cannot make it to our childcare for a tour? No problem! We got your child covered.
