Exceeding in National Quality Standards

We are very pleased to announce that Tecoma Preschool has received an overall rating of Exceeding the National Quality Standard.

​

Tecoma Preschool was assessed under the National Quality Framework by the Department of Education.

Each of the seven quality areas is assessed individually.

​

There are five possible ratings a service can receive:

  • Excellent (awarded at a national level – all other ratings are awarded at a state level)

  • Exceeding National Quality Standard

  • Meeting National Quality Standard

  • Working Towards National Quality Standard

  • Significant Improvement Required

​

Receiving an overall rating of Exceeding the National Quality Standard reflects our strong commitment to providing high-quality early childhood education and care, and we are extremely proud of this achievement.
