Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement



The Erindale Early Education Academy is committed to providing a safe learning environment that provides high-quality experiences which lead to positive outcomes in children’s learning, development, health and well-being.
​
To that end we continuously seek to improve our programming by documenting and evaluating the effectiveness of our strategies to achieve the following goals:
​
1) To promote the health, safety, nutrition and well-being of the children enrolled in our programs.
​
2) To support positive and responsive interactions among the children, parents, child care providers and staff.
​
3) To encourage the children to interact and communicate in a positive way and support their ability to self-regulate.
​
4) To foster the children’s exploration, play and inquiry.
​
5) To provide child-initiated and adult-supported experiences.
​
6) To plan for and create positive learning environments and experiences in which each child’s learning and development will be supported.
​
7) To incorporate indoor and outdoor play, as well as active play, rest and quiet time, into the day, and give consideration to the individual needs of the children receiving child care.
​
8) To foster the engagement of an ongoing communication with parents about the program and their children.
​
9) To involve local community partners and allow those partners to support the children, their families and staff.
​
10) To support staff or others who interact with the children at a child care centre in relation to continuous professional learning.
