“Education is a lifelong process that begins well before the structured learning environment at school. My philosophy of Early Childhood Education is based on a belief that highly structured, adult-directed, formal educational settings are not ideally suited to the learning needs of most very young children.” – Maria Walsh
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) forms the foundation of all curriculum development and implementation/teaching in early childhood services.
The National Quality Framework (NQF) is designed to enforce and maintain a standard of quality education and care in all early childhood service nationwide. The NQF is made up of several components, including the national quality standard, the education and care services national regulations, National Legislation and the early years learning framework.
The Early Childhood Australia’s (ECA) Code Of Ethics is a good reference for what ethical behaviour in the early Childhood industry should look like. The potential for conflict of interest within a service run for profit is very real and must be managed openly and transparently.
United Nations Statement of The Rights and Responsibilities of the Child talks about the rights of children everywhere as being connected … all of us are part of the global community and have obligations to be aware of, to care about children everywhere. A consequence is that our curriculum looks to teach an awareness of the world community and to understand and value diversity.
