Accreditation: Goal is to reach Paths to Quality Level 3 by December 2018 Reaching Paths to Quality Accreditation Level 3 means we have a planned curriculum that supports children’s developmental readiness needs and we’ve made a significant investment in the professional development of our teachers. It means we also incorporate staff and family input into our program.
