How CP3 Works
Real, Measurable Outcomes
CP3 activities are intentionally aligned with the ACECQA National Quality Standards, My Time Our Place Framework (2.0) and the Child Safe Standards. We help you create real, measurable impact that not only delights and meaningfully engages children but also strengthens your service’s quality outcomes.
Consult & Create
We help you spark ideas with children and educators, synthesise these ideas, and co-develop meaningful and fun CP3 activities for your OSHC.
Test & Refine
We help you try new CP3 activities, collect real-time feedback, and adjust programs based on children and educator experiences to get it right.
Implement & Evaluate
We support you to grow and reflect on successful CP3 activities by embedding ongoing cycles of improvement into your programming. Through reflective practice tools and tailored support, we help you strengthen your OSHC community’s commitment to continuous quality improvement – placing the voices of children, families, and educators at the heart of every decision.
You’ll be supported to track impact, document and celebrate this embedded practice – aligning with the ACECQA National Quality Standards and ensuring CP3 remains a living, evolving part of your OSHC culture.
