Quality Area 1 - Educational Program and Practice 

Planning Cycle and Documentation

Your educational program supports children’s learning and development through meaningful, high-quality and inclusive learning experiences informed by the EYLF and MTOP learning frameworks. Educators observe, assess, plan, implement, and reflect on children’s learning, using these insights to inform and guide their program.
