Osborne ELS SA achieves High Quality rating

Congratulations to Mission Australia’s Early Learning Services (ELS) centre in Osborne, South Australia, for receiving “high-quality” results from the National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC).

NCAC is a not-for-profit, Australian Government-funded organisation that is responsible for administering Child Care Quality Assurance for long day care centres. Its Quality Improvement and Accreditation System (QIAS) is based on seven Quality Areas and 33 principles that summarise and define long day care.

To be accredited, a centre must achieve a rating of “satisfactory” or higher on all seven Quality Areas, including staff relationships with children and peers; partnerships with families; programming and evaluation; children's experiences and learning; protective care and safety, health, nutrition and wellbeing, and managing to support quality.

Centre Director Janette Lianos and staff at Osborne ELS are to be congratulated on achieving a high rating for all principles in all quality areas. The Continuing Improvement Plan focuses on maintaining a professional team who communicate well, ongoing professional development in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and keeping the vision for developing a garden.
