NATIONAL QUALITY FRAMEWORK FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION & CARE

This quality assurance process began on the 1st January 2012. We will be considering our policies and practices in the seven quality areas set out by ACECQA (Australian Children’s
Education and Care Quality Authority), on an ongoing basis. A quality improvement plan has been created and is regularly reviewed to note aims we have achieved and to add further aims to work towards. A display of our Quality Improvement Plan is located in our foyer and celebrates all of our achievements.
