Our quote of the episode
“Two centres that I went to as part of the project, one had gone from working towards to exceeding, and the other one had gone from working towards to meeting. What was really clear in both, even though they received a different rating, was the commitment from the educators, the role of the director, the educational leader, the approved provider, how they all worked together to ensure that staff and educators could have the time to focus on what’s important around quality.”
