This article aims to present research results intended to identify possible contributions from the Australian experience in evaluation early childhood education, in order to analyze similar initiatives existent in Brazil. It is based on documentary analysis and information collected in loco, when we conducted research internship abroad, at the Graduate School of Education of the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2016. The results of the study show that the Australian evaluation initiative reflects the concern with dimensions of quality which are considered fundamental, by the legislation and documents guiding children’s education in Brazil, even though the social and educational contexts are very different in both countries. Furthermore, they indicate the importance of articulation and federative collaboration between federal, state and municipal governments for the deployment of policies focused on early childhood.Downloads
