Nullawarre Kindergarten staff Sarah Lazzaro and Jasmine Holloway were thrilled with the centre’s recent ranking.

The kindergarten has been rated as meeting National Quality Standard, which is given to services that provide quality education and care in all seven quality areas assessed.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith said it was a fantastic result that showed the hard work and dedication of the centre’s educators.

“The NQF report noted that Nullawarre Kindergarten had created a welcoming environment that reflected the cultures and perspectives of the children and families,” Cr Smith said.

“I’m really proud of our team who are delivering such high-quality early education for young residents in the Nullawarre area, giving them the best start possible to their educational journey.”

The report said the kindergarten facilitated a strong relationship with the school community, and that the children were engaged and comfortable, indicating a sense of belonging.

The staff were passionate and demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement to improve learning and developmental outcomes for children.

“The strong process in place to support children’s inclusion into the kindergarten program was also highlighted by the authorised officers,” Cr Smith said.

“The report also noted how allied health and other professionals were welcomed into the service to work in partnership with the kindergarten staff, and the ongoing collaborative partnership with Nullawarre Primary School.”

The centre’s result is the latest achieved for Moyne Shire Council’s Early Years Education and Care programs, with Nullawarre Kindergarten joining Merri, Mortlake and Chatsworth which have each received the same or higher rating over the past year.
