Quality Improvement Plan
Augustana Early Learning Center is committed to pursuing excellence in all areas of our school. Our commitment, and plan for ongoing improvement, is outlined in the sections below. These will be updated periodically, and as new goals are set!
Family Partnerships
Our program is committed to making materials and resources accessible to all families. Following a thorough self-assessment conducted on March 17, 2024, we've prioritized the creation of a Family Resource Corner. Here, families can access flyers with information on local resources such as food pantries, healthcare providers, mental health services, economic support, and more.
Leadership, Management & Administration
Our program is dedicated to enhancing our playground to support all enrolled children. Our goals include fostering inclusive play, strengthening teacher-child interactions, expanding the outdoor learning environment, increasing gross motor play opportunities, and ensuring a safe, healthy space for all.
Workforce Qualifications & Continuing Development
To enhance our teaching quality, we aim to ensure each classroom receives an average of 3 hours of intentional instructional time. After observing current practices, the Director developed a plan to support reflective lesson planning by providing additional time and resources for teachers.
