As per Australiangovernment policy, early childhood education is crucial for every child. In Australia, as per thegovernment rule, good quality education is delivered to children by high qualified teachers inschool (Arthur et al., 2017). Public, private and community-based pre-schools are developed toenhance the early childhood education. The major aim of this policy is to restructure the pre-school in Australia (Logan, Sumsion & Press, 2015).

On the otherhand, the teachers should have graduation degree to apply for the teaching post in pre-school.Australian State Government developed EYLF or early years learning framework (Bowes &Grace, 2014). According to this framework, many teachers are recruited for a pre-schoolprogram who have knowledge of different languages. There is a scope of 12 languages in earlychildhood program as per Australian sate documentation program in early childhood. Apart fromthese, the documentation of state approach in Australia includes a method, which leads childrento actively engage in their study (Smith, Tesar & Myers, 2016). Therefore, consistency ofapproach from all educators is required. The documentation includes evidence regarding thedecision-making of children about their own development and learning program. There is a big debate about the availability of time for completion of documentation Ichildren education and the time spent with children (Earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au, 2018). As

Therefore, the childhood educator should besophisticated and have diverse skills in order to work with the children. However, due to low payscale, it is not possible for the educators to go to children's home for documentation program.

Principles of EYLF and FSAC are included in this documentationprocess (Aifs.gov.au, 2018). On the other hand, the progress report of the children is included inthis documentation process, which highlights the development of children in their earlychildhood program. From the above analysis, it can be said that Australian territory approachesare useful for documentation of early childhood documentation in comparison to stateapproaches.Australian State based educational system introduced a national school curriculum. Asper this curriculum, a restructure has developed in the pre-school program. However, the healthcheck is mandatory for the children during their school program. This is a good initiative for thechildren in pre-school education.

Based on this approach the educators also need to create a physicalenvironment for children to enhance their play. Australia Children's education and care quality commission have taken continuousimprovement process to enhance the early childhood education process. This framework ensuresthe consistency of delivery of education among the children.
