Our centre offers well-resourced studios with generous ongoing resourcing budgets.
“My favourite part of my role is working hands on with the children and building trusting relationships with my class and parents. My favourite thing about my team is how well we mould together and work together to support one another. We support each other, develop and show peer to peer teaching. We acknowledge and accept all cultures and welcome, encourage and support all families, children and educators.”

“The favourite parts of my role are building connections with children and families, creating inviting, engaging and fun environments, having a laugh with my team and being comfortable enough within the team that any issues can just be spoken about freely and it is a safe zone.
Mother Duck is like one big family — the staff, the families, the children, the delivery drivers. After having a baby and being at home for 9 months, during that time I still had so much support from my Mother Duck family, messages, lunch catch ups. It meant so much to still have that support. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else. “

“The leadership team has always believed I can do whatever I put my mind to. They’ve always been pushing me forward in the direction I needed to go. Whenever I have doubted myself, they have built me back up with words of encouragement and positivity. The management to educator relationships are professional and positive and the whole team are always striving to build each other up.
There are always positive relationships between the staff. Mother Duck is such a friendly and positive environment to work in.”
