Raising the Bar in Peel
Continuous Quality Enhancement
Raising the Bar in Peel (RTBP) is a continuous quality initiative designed to enhance quality care in child care and early years programs. Through authentic participation in RTBP, programs are committed to maintaining Provincial regulatory standards as well as local community standards.
In cooperation with Affiliated Services for Children and Youth (ASCY), copyright owners of RTB, Peel’s Adaptation for Raising the Bar emerged and is based on enhancing relationships through:
- Lifelong Learning
- Reflective Practice
- Mentorship
- Leadership
- Collaborative Inquiry
The initiative provides an intentional opportunity for programs to build their professional capacity, and to enhance their practices and relationships through a reflective, goal and action-oriented model.
