Policies
are
an
important
part
of
a
cohesive
and
transparent
early
learning
centre.
It
is
important
to
have
an
effective
resource
for
all
staff,
visitors
and
parents
to
refer
to
as
they
try
to
understand
your
programs
philosophies,
guiding
principles
and
guidelines.
An
effective
policy
affords
everyone
the
opportunity
to
learn
what
guidelines
your
centre
has
and
how
decisions,
actions
and
activities
are
implemented.
It
allows
effective
communication
to
occur
and
supports
staff
in
using
best
practices
when
caring
for
children.
This
assignment
has
two
parts:

then
write
a
paper
based
