Quality

A quality early childhood education isn't one thing.

 It's a high ratio of qualified and passionate staff, it's good group sizes,  a robust teacher guidance programme, quality interactions and trust, teachers who respond effectively to children's individual needs and interests, personal and dedicated attention for all children, a low teacher turnover and consistency of care, a well planned, well cared for and maintained environment.
