Assessment and Rating

 

'The educators demonstrated care, empathy and respect, in their interactions with children, families and the approved provider. The approved framework, My Time, Our Place, the National Quality Standard, the Code of Conduct and service philosophy, guided educators' interactions and practice.' 

'Interactions between educators and children were respectful. The educators responded openly andpositively to children and sat with them to have one on one conversations. Children demonstrated a sense of belonging, security and comfort in the environment by independently engaging in experiences and approaching the educators.'

'The dignity and rights of every child were maintained. The educators spoke to children with a quiet, calm voice and usually used positive language when discussing expectations. Home languages were used by educators with some children. Nappy changing was a positive experience with one educator singing with the child while he was being changed.' 

'Staffing arrangements enhanced children’s learning and development through continuity and consistent practice. Educators were suitably qualified and supported by regular contact with the family day care coordination unit.'

'Children and families experienced consistency and continuity of educators at the service. Where possible, educators and relief educators provided back up care for each other’s absences, and educators regularly attended playgroups which enhanced children’s familiarity with other educators.' 

'The educators modelled respectful behaviour and provided supportive language to enable children to listen and respond to each other.' 

'The programs at all educators’ residences emerged from the ideas and interests of each child and educators demonstrated that they knew each child’s strengths and interests. Children were free to engage in activities that were provided or to ask for additional resources. A child with additional needs was included seamlessly into the group as activities were based on his needs and interests and were flexible enough to include all children.'

'Educators planned for intentional activities and were purposeful in the activities that were provided for children.' 

'Each educator provided a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. These included spaces used for active play, reading, craft and eating. Resources, equipment, and materials were usually flexible and could be rearranged to provide additional interest, variety or challenge.'
