Wow! What a fantastic beginning to the year but what amazing changes are occuring also.
1. New Eary Learning Years framework - “Belonging, Being and Becoming” - this is a fantastic new framework we are now a part of, its main focus is on children’s sense of self, independance, self esteem and partnerships with our families. These are very important to the care of our children so its graet to see that everyone will be concentrating on these and plenty more points
2. DoC’s has had a name change: It is now called “Human Services Authority”
3. NCAC no longer exists - Accreditation still exists and now is a prt of the Human Services Authority. Just keep up the quality care and services that you are already providing and you wont even notice the change
4. Learning Stories are the way of the future, if you are not already implementing learning stories into your programs and observations now is a wonderful time to begin. Just remember to look at the Holistic view of your child.
Enjoy the beginning to a wonderful and exciting new year, Remember to breathe and play
