Perspectives of Quality

Introduction

New Zealand is one that country which is more inclined towards the development of quality early childhood development to the primary education. Various constitutional and educational reforms across the New Zealand had brought significant changes in all aspects of teaching, learning, assessment and management of the early childhood education. Therefore, we can say that due to such changes, New Zealand is now at the forefront of teacher training and professional development of the children in their childhood. The need is to ensure that the curriculum is as interactive as possible and fulfils the higher levels of quality since the children learn more while playing during the early age, thus improving their childhood education, experience and development (Meade, 2002). In New Zealand families should involve children in discussing their issues with them. Children should feel comfortable with their family, and they should feel comfortable in discussing their problems with them (Whalley, 2001).

Quality educational conditions are taken as an indicator of performance, precisely because of the immediate assessment of mental and physical development of the child. Only the development of new criteria of quality early childhood education reflects the success of the mental and physical development of children, it will support different forms of institutions and organizations regardless of their size and legal status (Meade, 2005).

Various research conducted during the last decade have shown that the experiences of children during their first years of life has a significant impact on their learning and quality development. Such researches has also shown that poor education early childhood have an impact on the development of young children, while quality programs have positive consequences for them (Wolfe, 2000).

Discussion and Analysis

A child should be taught the basic rules of life which are necessary for life. This comes from home as well as teachers also take part in developing the children by activities which help in cognitive development. Children also play games and take part in sports which increase their mental capability of grasping things. Children identify different places and learn different formats. As young children age, the checks utilized to assess understanding location more and more focus on language, and thus the ecological influence has larger importance (Dahlberg, 2007).

An accreditation process and daycares centres in early childhood education is one of the methods to ensure quality in New Zealand. Australia has designed and implemented a national accreditation system based on the U.S. process and called Quality Improvement and Accreditation System, or QIAS. Ireland has also developed an assessment tool based on that of the NAEYC. The Australian government has managed to implement a national accreditation process for child care programs and early childhood education (QIAS), while New Zealand and the United Kingdom have also developed the before leading initiatives in this area. The New Zealand government has indeed undertaken various measures a decade back to tighten standards of facilities and quality of the training of EPE.
