Assessment and Rating Pre-questionnaire

This Assessment and Rating pre-questionnaire helps early childhood education and care services prepare for the official review against the National Quality Standard. It guides leaders and educators to reflect on program and practice across key quality areas, including approved learning frameworks, intentional teaching, the assessment and planning cycle, critical reflection, child health and safety, physical environment, staffing arrangements, family and community partnerships, and governance and leadership. Use it to document how you involve children and families, plan inclusive learning environments, manage supervision, emergencies and child protection, maintain resources and hygiene, support staff development, and drive continuous improvement through your quality improvement plan.
