Outstanding Educators

Educators are paramount to the success of your child and the early learning centre you choose for your family. As part of our vision to give the best possible start in life to the children at MCFC, we have engaged in purposeful intent to increase the educational quality at the centre, which has been validated by assessments, at our previous service at Howleys Road, by ACECQA of Exceeding in all seven categories of the National Quality Standard. We have deliberately chosen a team of exceptional educators who have a unique combination of professional acumen, early childhood education and experience, compassion, and sincere and proven commitment to your child’s growth, development, and happiness. We have employed fully qualified registered kindergarten educators for both our three- and four-year-old kindergarten groups. With extensive knowledge about early childhood education and pedagogical theories, our educators in every group facilitate experiences that foster a love for learning and confidence through intentional teaching programs for the children.
