Welcome to Mother Duck Child Care Eatons Hill
Our educators are dedicated to providing each child with positive experiences from the moment they arrive at our Eatons Hill child care centre through to the moment they leave. Our programs are designed to be engaging and build success for life. We take pride in providing a consistent and nurturing environment that establishes deep connections with children and with their families.
We know that the first five years shape your child’s development and learning for life. That’s why our daily programs are thoughtfully designed for intellectual, emotional, social and physical wellbeing and development. Curiosity, creativity and exploration are encouraged in a safe and supportive environment.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
In the infant studio, the educators follow a flexible schedule that is responsive to the needs of the individual child. Parents are encouraged to share their home routine with the educators, as they understand how important routine can be to children of this age.
Educators work to form a secure attachment with the children, as well as building relationships with the families. Parents receive a daily log from the educators which covers their child’s feeding, sleeping and toileting patterns.
The focus for the children is on those basic first skills such as sitting, crawling and walking. Educators seek to develop language skills of the children with conversation, singing and reading.
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.
The children in the Seniors room are developing skills in friendships and cooperative play, with the help of their educators. The children are encouraged to explore and experiment in a safe space, and educators work with children’s own interests to guide their learning.
Literacy and numeracy skills are developed through games and social interaction. Educators keep parents informed of the children’s day, their challenges, changes and daily routine.
The state government funded kindergarten is led by university qualified teachers, with a focus on building the children’s capacity for responsibility and accountability for their own learning.
With the longer hours of a child care centre, the kindergarten children have an extended opportunity to access the curriculum, giving the children scope to work on long term projects of inquiry in order to empower them as 21st century thinkers and communicators.
The key for the children is to prepare them for the transition to formal education. The children make their learning visible through words, drawing, numbers, dance, painting, clay, music, movement, loose parts, transformative play and more.

Health & nutrition
Health & nutrition
At Mother Duck Child Care Eatons Hill, the children bring their own packed lunch box for their meals and snacks. The centre regularly provides information from Nutrition Australia to give new ideas for packing interesting and nutritious lunchboxes for the children.
In the dining spaces educators can reheat meals if needed, and the children eat in a restaurant-like space with their friends. Progressive mealtimes are offered throughout the day to allow the children to self-regulate.

Centre Reviews
If you are looking for a daycare and Mother Duck Eatons Hill is on your list, look no further!! This place is it!... If you are looking for a daycare and Mother Duck Eatons Hill is on your list, look no further!! This place is it! When we need to put our children into daycare, we want to be able to trust without reserve and that is both invaluable and rare. This place will give you that peace 100%. Everyday I am so grateful that we were able to get a spot for my son here. They truly care and meet the needs of your child and every educator and the leadership are kind, warm and go above and beyond. They are able to see my son and connect with him at an individual level while doing so with the many other kids in their care, with the same level of quality. It is such a joy to see my son thrive here and on the days he isn't at daycare, he sometimes asks if he can go! Childcare workers are angels. The staff here all should be given a sainthood, 1 billion dollars and an Order of Australia award. I don't know what I would do without them!! Read more
