Exceptional Quality 

At Glen Education, quality is in everything we do

Glen Education has consistently exceeded the National Standards for high-quality early years education.   In 2023, 9/10 services were assessed as exceeding the National Standard for Education and Care, ranking Glen Education the best in the state against other providers. 

The National Quality Standards (NQS) are a key aspect of the National Quality Framework. It is strongly linked to the National Early Years Learning Framework (2022) which recognises that children learn from birth. Combined with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (2016), these outline fundamental components to inform and guide educators in the delivery of nationally consistent and high-quality experiences and programs across Australia.

At Glen Education, we are proud to say that all of our services are rated at or are exceeding the National Standard for Quality Education and Care.

"Research shows quality education and care early in life leads to better health, education and employment outcomes later in life. The early years are critical for establishing self-esteem, resilience, healthy growth and capacity to learn. Quality education and care shapes every child’s future and lays the foundation for development and learning."

At Glen Education, we believe in the uniqueness of each individual and value them within the context of their family and their community. We respectfully incorporate and reflect upon the diversity within our community and build this thinking into our inclusive educational programs, so we can build meaningful links with the local and the wider world.

Each kindergarten acknowledges its connection to Glen Education and upholds the vision, purpose, and values of the organisation. We believe that our educational philosophy changes, as new insights are gained, and practice is evaluated.

We are dedicated lifelong learners who support each other to maintain a culture of inquiry and reflective practice. Our people maintain professional confidence by keeping up to date with educational research, connecting with professional learning communities and by advocating for each person’s right to learn, grow and thrive.

Our commitment to exceeding the National Standards is evidenced in the feedback we consistently receive across all quality areas, from the Department of Education. View more here: https://gleneducation.org.au/our-story/why-us/
