This episode of our Patreon-exclusive podcast series Exploring the NQS provides an overview of Quality Area 5: Relationships with children.
From the Guide to the National Quality Standard: Quality Area 5 of the National Quality Standard focuses on educators developing responsive, warm, trusting and respectful relationships with children that promote their wellbeing, self-esteem, sense of security and belonging. Relationships of this kind encourage children to explore the environment and engage in play and learning.
