One of G8’s early learning centres, Kindy Patch Clarinda<\/a>, has joined an elite club of Australia\u2019s top eight per cent<\/a> of early learning services*, after receiving \u201cExceeding\u201d in all seven quality areas from the Australian Children\u2019s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) in a recent assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so proud of the high-quality education and care my team provides our children and families every day, so it is wonderful for that to be recognised in this way,\u201d said Kindy Patch Clarinda Centre Manager, Pavi De Alwis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early child education and care services are assessed and rated by their state and territory regulatory authority against the seven quality areas of the National Quality Standard<\/a> (NQS), ranging from \u201cExceeding\u201d down to \u201cSignificant Improvement Required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 17,000 early learning services operating under the National Quality Framework in Australia, only 1 in 12 have equalled Kindy Patch Clarinda\u2019s result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms De Alwis said it is her dedicated team and child-focussed centre culture that has led to the success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur best practice is how we foster strong relationships with the children in our care and plan and support experiences which are child-led and initiated,\u201d she said. \u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe listen to our children\u2019s voices by running indoor and outdoor play and providing progressive meals which take into consideration and respect children\u2019s needs and wants.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is very important aspect of our service as we always take children\u2019s input when planning their day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centre\u2019s practices have also been influenced by the needs and expectations of its broader centre community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo promote collaboration with our families, we created the community panel which allows everyone to share ideas and stay informed about how we are working to improve their children\u2019s learning and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to continue to expand our community involvement by engaging in more social events that promote opportunities for our children, families and teams to learn and connect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou walk into Kindy Patch Clarinda and you get a sense of community and calm thanks to the team\u2019s approach to planning and family engagement,\u201d said Area Manager Sarah Schwab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is wonderful for the team\u2019s hard work and dedication to be recognised in this way and it should fill the local community with confidence that they are receiving the highest quality education and care at our centre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
