“My educators are brilliant, but I’m just not sure our documentation reflects the quality of the education and care they provide.”
We hear this a lot. Here’s how EarlyWorks can help.
✔ Diagnostics : How well prepared are you for Ratings and Assessment of Quality Area 1?
✔ Child Alerts : Ensures that each child’s learning and development is documented on a regular and ongoing basis.
✔ Staff Alerts : View each educator’s contribution to your service’s documentation.
✔ Collaborative QIP : Evidence to support the service’s QIP is automatically generated based on the information already entered into EarlyWorks.
✔ Planning Cycle Report : Provide detailed evidence of planning cycles for the children in your care.

Reflective Practice in Childcare
To promote continuous improvement, it is an NQS requirement that childcare services have a system in place to support the recording of regular reflective practice. EarlyWorks supports reflective practices such as Weekly Reflections to assist educators in improving their knowledge, skills and practices. This in turn creates the best outcomes for children, families and the service. EarlyWorks allows educators to reflect on program and practices with links to the Principles and Practices as well as the Quality Areas of the NQS. Managers and co-ordinators provide feedback with the ability to include this in the service’s Quality Improvement Plan (QIP).
EarlyWorks also supports collaborative reflection using program comments. This allows educators and managers to create reflections at any point during the Planning Cycle.
Manage Your EYLF Planning Cycle
EarlyWorks has been designed by industry specialists to support managers and educators in delivering high quality early childhood educational documentation while being simple to produce and easy to use. Observations, Programs, Journals, Reflections, Children’s Learning Portfolios even the service’s Quality Improvement Plan become almost effortless with EarlyWorks.
