3 main areas of evaluation:

    

  #1 Programming
The program looks at what the children are doing while at the centre.

- Are the children’s learning experiences based on their  individual interests and needs

-Are the learning experiences developmentally appropriate and do they allow children to build on existing skills.

​

 #2 Learning Environment 
The learning environment reviews expectations related to the play materials and looks to ensure the environment is safe for children and maintained in a hygienic manner.

- Are the play materials accessible to the children and is there enough for the number of children who want to use them?

- Are they developmentally appropriate and do they challenge the children to problem solve?

​

 #3 Interactions
A key component of a quality child care is how the staff/educators interact with the children.

- Are the staff actively engaged with children?

- Do the staff encourage and support the children to extend and enhance their learning?
