ACECQA
ACECQA guides the implementation of the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care nationally and ensures consistency in delivery.
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is a key aspect of the National Quality Framework (NQF) and sets a national benchmark for early childhood education and care, and outside school hours care services in Australia.
Under the NQF every service in the country will be assessed to make sure it meets the new quality standard.
To ensure children enjoy the best possible conditions in their early educational and developmental years, the NQS promotes continuous improvement in quality.
The major benefits for parents and children include:
* improved educator to child ratios
* greater individual care and attention for children
* Educators with increased skills and qualifications
* better support for children’s learning and development
* a national register to help parents assess the quality of education and care services in their area.
