Educators in children’s services are responsible for delivering an educational program based on an approved learning framework and delivered in a manner that accords with that framework. It should be based on the developmental needs, interests, and experiences of each child and designed to take into account the individual differences of each child.

This guide recognises that many children’s services provide care for a small number of children who attend occasionally, and for short periods of time. It provides practical ideas to help educators tailor the programming requirements in these settings.
