Strengths-based approaches are evident in early childhood education and care (ECEC) curriculum and policy documents such as the Early Years Learning Framework (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, DEEWR 2009), and the National Quality Framework (Department of Education 2013).

MacDonald. & McFarland. 2016). The EYLF states, "Viewing children as active participants and decision makers opens up possibilities for educators to move beyond pre-conceived expectations about what children can do and learn" (DEEWR 2009.
