How does the early years learning framework address the requirements of the national quality framework and the services policies and procedures?
I'm stuck on how to understand and answer this question?
Could someone please kindly help me out?

Re: EYLF Addressing The NQF
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is another component of the NQF. Developed through consultation with experts in the field, the EYLF is Australia’s first national curriculum framework for early childhood education. It emphasises play-based activities to enhance early learning and the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy).
The EYLF covers the childhood years up to transition into primary school. The EYLF is a mandatory component of the NQS and providers will need to show evidence of the EYLF in the delivery of their programs. An Educators’ Guide to the Early Years Learning Framework is available to assist educators in implementing the Framework. Each childcare provider will need to familiarise themselves with the EYLF in order to use it appropriately according to their own needs and context. Educators should also draw on their own professional knowledge and work with families to support children’s learning and understand an individual child’s strengths and interests.
The overarching objectives of the EYLF are embodied in the terms belonging, being and becoming. Belonging acknowledges the importance of children’s interdependence with others, starting with the family and expanding out to the wider community. Through belonging children’s identity is being shaped and affects who they will become. Being identifies the significance of the present in children’s development and valuing the joys and challenges of everyday life, now and into the future. Becoming refers to the rapid process of change that occurs in the early childhood years and leads to active participation in society. These changes affect children’s identities, knowledge, understandings, capacities, skills and relationships.
