EYLF and NQS without Tears - Fourth edition

A step-by-step guide

The EYLF and NQS without Tears provides a pathway to help you navigate Belonging, Being & Becoming: Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF V2.0, 2022) and the National Quality Standard (NQS).  

The resource explains the updated EYLF principles and practices. It provides an understanding of each principle, summarises the practices that underpin the principles, and describes how learning stories can be used as a means of EYLF documentation. There are also questions to guide your reflection on the EYLF Outcomes:  

  • Outcome 1: Identity  
  • Outcome 2: Community  
  • Outcome 3: Wellbeing  
  • Outcome 4: Learning  
  • Outcome 5: Communication  

The EYLF and NQS without Tears simplifies the NQS standards and elements. It supplies early childhood education (ECE) centres with ideas on how to demonstrate the NQS standards. Even better, these are practices already in use at other centres.  

Lastly, the ECE resource has several templates that can be adapted to suit your setting - making it easy for you to implement the EYLF and NQS.  

As well as being available as a hardcopy, you can purchase The EYLF and NQS without Tears ebook to gain immediate access.
