Motor Development Compliance Checklist - NQF & EYLF Alignment

  • Motor Development Compliance Checklist - NQF & EYLF Alignment

  • Is Your Centre REALLY Meeting NQF Requirements for Motor Development?

    Most centres think they're compliant with physical development standards, but assessment and rating often reveals critical gaps.

    This 5-minute checklist will show you where you stand against the National Quality Framework and EYLF V2.0 requirements for Motor Development.

    What you'll get:

    • Your compliance score across 5 critical areas
    • Specific gaps affecting your NQS rating
    • Personaliaed action steps to improve
    • Free resources to get started immediately

  • Let's get started.

  • EYLF Outcome 3 - Children's Wellbeing

  • Framework requirement: Combining multiple senses with movement.

  • Do children have daily encouragement and support to engage in increasingly complex coordination of body movements with sight, sounds and other sensory stimuli?

  • Framework requirement: Intentional motor skill development, not just free play.

  • Are educators intentionally developing movement patterns, mobility and gross motor skills to manage and explore the physical environment?

  • Framework requirement: Progressive skill building.

  • Do children have daily opportunities to combine gross and fine motor movement and balance to achieve increasingly complex patterns of activity?

  • Framework requirement: Understanding developmental purpose.

  • Can educators explain HOW your activities develop spatial awareness and help children orient themselves, moving around and through their environments confidently?

  • Framework requirement: Progressive tool development tracked over time

  • Do educators understand and observe for retained primitive reflexes that impact children's learning and behaviour?

  • Framework requirement: Cross-cultural, varied movement experiences.

  • Can your team identify when a child's 'challenging behaviour' is actually a sensory processing or motor control issue?

  • NQS Quality Area 3

  • NQS requirement: Movement opportunities in BOTH indoor and outdoor environments.

  • Does your indoor environment provide adequate opportunities for gross motor development (not just outdoors)?

  • NQS requirement: Resources that promote complex physical experiences.

  • Are loose parts and open-ended materials available to challenge children's motor planning and problem-solving through movement?

  • Programming and Documentation

  • Framework requirement: Identifying and supporting developmental delays.

  • Do you have a process for referring children with motor development concerns to allied health professionals?

  • Framework requirement: Respectful, collaborative partnerships.

  • Are family conversations about motor development strengths-based while still addressing concerns honestly?
  • Should be Empty:
