The National Regulations require approved services to have a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP).
The aim of a QIP is to help providers self-assess their performance in delivering quality education and care and to plan future improvements. The QIP also helps the regulatory authorities with their assessment and rating of the service.
Approved Providers, in our case the Kapooka Early Childhood Centre Inc Management Committee, must ensure a Quality Improvement Plan is developed for the education and care service, and that it is reviewed and revised having regard to the National Quality Standard at least annually.
The approved provider should develop a QIP which reflects the unique circumstances of the education and care service and its community. Educators, children, families and the community should all be involved in the self-assessment.
Throughout the year our families are asked, via simple surveys, to provide feedback to assist with our self-assessment and QIP. These surveys aim to identify areas within our service that families are very happy with and those which need improvement.
