Early Childhood Education: Sleep and Rest Checklist, NQS, EYLF, FSAC

This assignment focuses on sleep and rest practices in early childhood education, providing checklists for individual children, Tim and Kevin, to ensure their health and safety during nap times. The assignment requires the creation of checklists based on specific needs and the implementation of the National Quality Framework, National Quality Standards, and the approved learning framework (EYLF). It delves into the relevant standards within the NQS, highlighting the importance of these standards for child safety. The assignment also explores the relationship between the health and safety of children and the EYLF, outlining which outcomes are most relevant and why. Furthermore, it examines the recommended practices from the Guide to the EYLF for addressing curriculum quality, equity, and children's wellbeing, and reviews the Framework for School Age Care in Australia (FSAC) to understand the importance of nutrition and safety. The assignment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the essential elements for creating a safe and supportive sleep environment for children in early childhood settings.

Tim is 3 years old. He likes to sleep with his favourite blanket that his mom packs for him when he
goes to the centre. His mum informed you that Tim gets very agitated throughout the day when he
does not get his afternoon nap, and prefers that the centre ensures he gets his nap before she picks
him up in the afternoon.
Ensure sleep and rest practices are consistent with approved standards and meet the Tim’s needs by
creating a checklist for his sleep and rest time in the centre.

Sleep and Rest Time Checklist
Certificate III in Early Childhood Education
Assessment Workbook 1: Task 1.1
Instructions:
Kevin is 1 and a half years old and is still used to sleeping in a cot. He just started going to the centre
and is still afraid to be left in the centre without his mum. Hearing his mum’s voice calms him down
and helps him go to sleep. So his mum provided the centre with a recording of herself reading
bedtime stories to play for Kevin when he is having difficulty sleeping.
Ensure sleep and rest practices are consistent with approved standards and meet the Kevin’s needs
by creating a checklist for his sleep and rest time in the centre.
