Educator-to-child ratio calculator for centres
|
ACECQA has developed an educator-to-child ratio calculator to support centre based services to ensure they are operating with the correct number of educators at all times.
According to ACECQA a fundamental feature of the National Quality Framework (NQF) is improved educator-to-child ratios and qualification requirements. Sufficient numbers of appropriately qualified educators enable the delivery of quality education and care programs, which respond to and promote children's learning and development.
The required educator-to-child ratios for education and care services are set out in the National Regulations, including requirements for early childhood teachers (ECTs).
