Overview
Quality in Practice is a full day, live online professional learning experience designed for early learning centres seeking meaningful, practical, and compliant professional development for their entire team.
Aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standard (NQS), this day supports educators to strengthen professional identity, deepen understanding of child development, enhance guidance and behaviour practices, design high-quality learning environments, streamline documentation, build strong family partnerships, and prioritise educator wellbeing.
This professional learning day is suitable for whole-centre in-service days and provides strong evidence for Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs), staff professional development records, and continuous improvement requirements.

Session 3: Guidance, Behaviour and Emotional Regulation
This session focuses on positive, respectful guidance approaches that support children’s emotional development and sense of belonging.
