Mortlake and District Kindergarten has achieved the highest ranking under the National Quality Framework, being named as Exceeding the National Quality Standard in all seven quality areas.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster said it was a fantastic result that was testament to the hard work and dedication of the educators.“Research shows that getting a great start to the education journey is vital in ensuring strong educational outcomes and that’s exactly what is being delivered at Mortlake,” she said.
“I’m really proud of our team who are delivering such high-quality early education for our youngest Moyne residents and giving them the best start to their educational journey possible.”
The authorised officer who assessed and rated the service noted that the kindergarten promotes a high level of engagement with families, promoting ‘Stay and Play’ on arrival, which leads to coincidental and positive discussions in relation to children’s learning and development, providing opportunities for families to observe children’s achievements.
Children were observed taking on leadership roles, with educators purposefully building children’s independence, confidence, and competence.
Two other kindergartens under the auspices of the Council, Koroit and Macarthur, were given the same rating in 2022.
