TG's Child Care Wauchope recently participated in the National Quality Assessment and Rating visit that assesses and measures early childhood service's quality against a vast range of standards and elements as governed by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority. (ACECQA). This assessment process forms part of the Quality Framework which was introduced to provide better educational and developmental outcomes for children and their families using education and care services.

Services are assessed and rated in 7 identified Quality Areas:

1) Educational Program and Practice

2) Children's Health and Safety

3) Physical Environment

4) Staffing Arrangements

5) Relationships with Children

6) Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities

7) Leadership and Service Management.

After a visit to the service for 1 - 2 days, an Assessment and Compliance Officer observes interactions and relationships within the environment and reviews paperwork and documentation. The overall rating awarded by an Assessor can be: "Significant Improvement Required", "Working towards the Standards", Meeting the Standards" or "Exceeding the Standards".

TG's Child Care Wauchope has received the rating of Exceeding the National Standards. Yay!

Our team at TG's Child Care is absolutely thrilled to have received the Exceeding Rating. It is an honour which is well-earned by the professional team of dedicated educators of the service, and is reflective of the passion and commitment of the Approved Providers, Trevor and Gayle Kee, supported by the Director, Amy Trotter.

The Assessment System is a great way of reflecting upon everything we do, recognising what we do really well, and then setting goals for areas we would like to improve on, and develop a plan for the process of continual improvement.

TG's Child Care would also like to thank the wonderful children, families and local community for their invaluable role and support of our service delivery every day.

WELL DONE TG's CHILD CARE - EXCEEDING EFFORT!

Children's observations of their world.

How amazing it is to observe young children’s interpretations and representations of every day life! This week we have been exploring the change of season, changes to our environment, plants blossoming, new growth, and changes to the weather patterns with warmer days and bluer skies.
The children have been making and recording observations each day of the week. Some of our experiences are planned and many develop spontaneously as a result of the children’s interests and observations. This is described in Early Years Learning Framework Learning Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to the world. Children are encouraged to become socially responsible and show respect for the environment. They are able to play, explore, discover, predict and hypothesize and develop an increased understanding and respect for natural environments and other living things.

At TG’s Child Care this is supported through planned and spontaneous experiences. Educators guide and encourage children’s interests and learning, through discussions, story telling, music and movement, language and literature.

Each day of the week, the children add their reflective interpretations of the weather and what was taking place outside to our wall display. Their drawings, scribbles and first attempts at letters are developing much more than just fine motor skills: they are communicating their thoughts, ideas and feelings to others.

This is one our children’s drawings and comments about the weather on Tuesday. He has drawn lots of sunshine symbols and downward rays shining on him and his friends, who are “being friends” and holding hands together.
