Computer coding for kids is big business, and a growing number of privately run code camps are offering expensive school holiday coding camps. Children from age five learn the basics of ‘drag and drop’ coding and might make their own video game or build an Iphone App.

But are these camps creating a digital divide among children, and just how important is it for children to learn coding anyway?

National Quality Standard

The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets a high benchmark for early childhood education and care services within Australia. The NQS includes seven quality areas that are important to outcomes for children. These are Educational Program and Practice, Children’s Health and Safety, Physical Environment, Staffing arrangements, Relationships with Children, and Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities. Services are assessed and rated by their regulatory authority against the NQS, and given a rating for each of the seven quality areas and an overall rating based on these results.

WWPCCC is currently rated as Meeting (April 2021) the National Quality Standard (NQS).
Quality Area 2 Children’s Health and Safety and Quality Area 5 Relationships with children were both rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard. Our rating is displayed in the foyer.
