    abstract = {The development of the holistic child is closely linked to the quality of the relationships experienced
with others, as stated in the quality areas and principles in the QIAS Quality Practices Guide. By investigating
the NCAC Quality Practice Guide, this study introduces the concept of the QIAS model more effectively. There
are seven proportion quality areas in the QIAS which are staff relationships with children and peers;
partnerships with families; programming and evaluation; children’s experiences and learning; protective care
and safety; health, nutrition and wellbeing and managing to support quality. As a conclusion, this QIAS
instrument is able to serve as a guidelines to the childcare center on what is needed and required to be look into
and take into consideration in order to ensure the quality of childcare centers.}
