QUESTION AND ANSWER
Elyf Learning Outcome
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) are goals that are achieved by a child
during their process of learning. The outcome is of various kinds. One of the outcomes of
EYLF is that children are able to get a strong sense of identity. Children feel safe as well as
secure. They are able to develop their new found autonomy, resilience, agency as well as
inter-dependence (Keegan 2016). Furthermore they are also able to develop knowledge and
self-identity. They can also interact with others with care and respect.
Developing Babies and Toddlers
The educators could promote learning among babies as well as toddlers through direct
interaction with them during their daily routine. They can even organize learning
environment in different ways that will promote group interactions as well as play
experiences, empathy, respect as well as model care. By doing this the educators can fulfill
the above learning outcome that gives a child their sense of identity as well as confidence
(Grieshaber and Graham 2017). Thus, the child also feels safe as well as secure and are able
to respond to others and nurture relationships. Further they also develop their autonomy by
the learning processes and programs.
Element of NQS
National Quality Standard or NQS aims at supporting and promoting the safety and
wellbeing of children through educational programs that are beneficial for children. One of
the element of NQS is a learning framework that has been approved through decision-making
that helps in contributing to the development as well as learning of the child regarding their
identity, wellbeing, connection as well as confidence (Clarke 2017). These aspects can be
achieved through learning as well as effective communicators.

QUESTION AND ANSWER
High Quality Practice
A way in which babies as well as toddlers could benefit from the NQS is through
healthy interaction. Quality Area 5 of the NQS would help educators who could implement
high quality practices among infants and toddlers to meet the outcome discussed in the
previous answer. Quality Area 5 of the NQS focuses on educators who could develop
responsive, trustworthy, respectful as well as warm relationship with children (Feldman et al
2017). The latter means of interaction would help in promoting the wellbeing, security, self-
esteem as well as a feeling of belonging of the child.
Rights of child in UN Convention
The rights under UN convention protects the rights of children by setting high
standards in the health care, civil as well as social services. The main purpose of the rights is
to deepen the understanding regarding children as well as a reflection of the changing
conditions where the child grows up. One article from the UN Convention on the rights of
child is Article 27 where the state should recognize the right of all children for a standard of
living that will promote the physical, spiritual, social mental as well as moral development of
the child (Hall 2019). This means that the child has the right to proper food, clothing as well
as shelter.
Educator Practices
The educators play a crucial role in fulfilling Article 27 of the UN convention that
deals with the basic needs of children that would develop them socially. To achieve this for
toddlers as well as babies the educators can engage with the parents, communities as well as
children that would help in promoting the rights of children by an advocacy with local as well
as national government that would help in the awareness of issues relating to children
(Swepston 2018). By promoting awareness the babies as well as toddlers will be able to get
