My assignment is about NQS
Imagine that you are receiving a visitor from overseas who has asked to come and visit your centre for the day. The purpose of the visit is to explore how you plan, deliver and monitor quality early childhood education programs for preschool children.
How are you going to show the program?
What information will you provide?
What documentation will you make available?
What would you want this person to see and experience?

I’m having a little trouble and not sure where to start if anyone can give me a few tips thanks.

Hey Clockwork,

Just thought I'd help you out with a few ideas with your questions

How are you going to show the program?

I would show them the daily/weekly program that is up in the room and I would also explain the program and how each of the room leaders come up with activities on the program for the children to do. You could also talk about observations and how those activities are incorporated into the program as well. It's also a good idea to show past programs from this year so the person can actually have a read and understand how the programs work in our childcare centers.

What information will you provide?

Provide brochures/recent newsletter about events that are happening in the centre. Talk and discuss routine, transitions, meal times, group times...basically everything that is involved on a day to day basis of what happens in the centre.

What documentation will you make available?

Documentation could be program, portfolios, routine, policies and procedures manual, staff handbook etc..

What would you want this person to see and experience?

I would want this person to see the learning experiences that the children are involved in throughout the day and how even though the child is "playing" they are still learning a lot from it... Also it's important to get understanding of the structure of the day and how childcare professionals interact with the children, staff and families....

I'm hoping this should put you onto the right track...
