What's going on at Mott Park Kindy?
Mott Park Kindergarten Continues Exceeding National Quality Standards
Mott Park Kindy is absolutely thrilled to announce that we have achieved an Exceeding National Quality Standard (NQS) across all seven quality areas in 2026! A huge thank you to our amazing team, families, and community for all of your support. This recognition is a testament to everyone’s hard work, dedication, and passion.
Exceeding NQS practice is:
-
Embedded in service operations
Practice is embedded in service operations when it occurs consistently, frequently and intentionally as part of an ongoing process that is understood and implemented by all educators across all aspects of the program.
-
Informed by critical reflection
Critical reflection involves a deep level of regular and ongoing analysis, questioning and thinking that goes beyond evaluation and review. Critical reflection informs practice when the continuous reflection of all educators, individually and together, influences decision-making and drives continuous quality improvement.
-
Shaped by meaningful engagement with families and/or the community
Practice is shaped by meaningful engagement with families and/or the community when educators actively seek input, guidance and feedback from children, families and the community. Meaningful engagement with families and/or the community helps to shift thinking, shape ongoing practice and foster a culture of inclusiveness and sense of belonging for all.
This marks three consecutive evaluations with an Exceeding rating by the Department of Education, and we are committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and sustained exceptional practice.

Celebrating our wonderful teachers!
This year Libby celebrates working at Kindy as our Co-Director and Teacher for 20 years! Natalie is also celebrating working here as Co-Director and Teacher for 10 years! Together Libby and Natalie make a formidable team and we are so lucky to have such wonderful and dedicated teachers at this kindy. They seamlessly work together to create a wonderful learning environment for our children and for that we thank them. Together they guide their team of staff to nurture, care and educate our children but also bring us together. They are creating the building blocks for our children’s educations. What our children learn here with them within the grounds of this amazing space will stay with them forever.
We thank you both for your tireless dedication for your jobs. It takes special people to be Kindy teachers. You two are truly ones of a kind!
Lady Mayoress Nina Schrinner and Councillor Krista Adams were able to help us celebrate these amazing milestones and were more than happy to read a book to the children.
