UWS Early Learning Policies

UWSELL has a range of policies developed in consultation with staff and parents and policies are reviewed regularly.

Some key policies are available here. A full suite of policies is available by contacting the Centre Director in your local area.

Early Childhood Care and Education is governed by joint National and State law and regulations.

The National Quality Framework (opens in a new window) is a national approach to the regulation and quality assessment of education and care services. The Framework aims to promote:

  • the safety, health and wellbeing of children
  • a focus on achieving outcomes for children through high-quality educational programs
  • families’ understanding of what distinguishes a quality service

The NSW Department of Education and Communities (opens in a new window) regulates the operation of early childhood education and care services for children from birth through to and including school age.
