At Mother Duck Childcare and Pre-School Centres Kallangur, the focus of the educators is on reflective practice to ensure they understand all they can about children and their development; finding new and innovative ways to solve problems, engage in challenging tasks, and using information technology and print-based texts to find things out; giving children the gift of time to listen to their ideas and incorporate these into the curriculum; sustainable practices to teach the children how to be a valuable member of society; and teaching children skills beyond academics such as compassion, collaboration, empathy, kindness, grace and honesty.

The centre prides itself on their retention of staff, with some educators working at the centre for over 10 years; and the majority of staff have been there for 3 years or more.

I have a strong passion for Early Childhood Development and Education and genuinely believe in providing opportunities for children to play and explore to promote critical thinking, but most importantly, creating a safe haven for children to slow down, and just “be”.

As an educator who has been a part of the Mother Duck Kallangur team for over 3 years, I could not ask for a more supportive and inclusive place to work. Being my first position within the early childhood sector, I could not imagine doing anything else. The staff are beautiful inside and out and truly band together to ensure the best practices and care is delivered each day. Feeling fortunate to be where I am.

I have been a member of Mother Duck Kallangur for a few years and the sense of belonging, support, and mentorship I get from not only management, but other staff is amazing! I enjoy going into work every day knowing I feel so valued and appreciated. Absolutely love Mother Duck and it is having well and truly become my second home.

Mother Duck’s own dietitian, Fiona Hinton, prepares the menus for the centre and has over 20 years of experience. Fiona specialises in real-life strategies and practical suggestions to convert nutrition advice into food kids will eat. Fiona has collaborated on several books, including one with best-selling children’s food writer Annabel Karmel, as well as training childcare staff in children’s nutrition.

Mother Duck Kallangur has a restaurant style space for the children which is open from 8am- 4pm. This ‘restaurant’ helps support children in being able to recognise and eat when they are hungry rather than all eating at the same provided time.
