Our son has been attending Mother Duck since he was 13 months old and we couldn't be happier with the support we have received from the staff, particularly with preparing him for school.  

The Mann family  

Mother Duck is everything we wanted in a daycare centre. If they can't be at home, I wouldn't want them to be anywhere else. 

The Naughton family

Our daughter attended Mother Duck for three years and absolutely loved it there. She has made some lifelong friends and we really felt part of a community. The staff are lovely and genuinely care about our children. Our son recently started and it’s been a joy to see how much fun he is having. We feel it is a wonderful social and supportive environment, perfect for our needs.

The Bowie family

An outstanding centre. 

The Alves Poland family

Mother Duck Enoggera is a wonderful community that our family loves being a part of and has been now for 5 years.  The educators in each studio are so attentive to our children and their needs.  They arrive and leave with smiles on their faces, which makes us feel confident and safe in our choice of child care provider.

Children in the Juniors studio are developing their skills in confidence and independence, within a safe and secure environment. A consistent routine and familiar educators build a sense of security, so your child can confidently engage in learning.

Socialisation will be gently encouraged and guided to help friendships and empathy form. Your child’s growing independence is supported by caring educators who will help them take the first steps in toilet training. Educators will communicate openly with parents through conversation, as well as a daily record of your child’s eating, sleeping and toileting.

The play-based educational program is tailored to each child’s learning needs and interests. Emerging intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language skills are built on and extended.

At Mother Duck Enoggera, 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 the passionate long-term educators caring for the children. They continually offer professional development for the team and provide above-award remuneration. Some of the educators have been at the centre for over nine years.

As the Mother Duck Enoggera franchisee, I feel so lucky to work alongside kind families and their children, and my highly experienced and qualified educators every day. I feel proud of the safe, educational and happy environment that we have created here at Mother Duck Enoggera and love that I get to spend my days here.

Miss Olivia - Educator 

I love to work at Mother Duck because I feel supported, celebrated, and valued every day. I am encouraged and supported to further and deepen my knowledge of child development in a team environment. 

Miss Diana - Educator 

Within my role as Educational Leader, I am privileged to witness my colleagues constantly re-ignite their passions for early childhood education as we research child development together. I believe the way in which we approach our documentation at Mother Duck Enoggera directly results in our team working so positively together, and we are able to learn alongside children each day.
