"Mud, leaves, puddles, sticks. That's where the real learning happens."
I've been doing this for fifteen years and I still learn something from the children every week. They notice things adults have stopped noticing: a beetle, a shadow, the way a leaf spins.
Mt Low is built around that curiosity. We get outside, we get our hands dirty, and we let kids be kids.
I love this job because it matters. The first five years shape everything that comes after, and every child who walks through our door gets my full attention.
About my team
I look for educators who get muddy with the kids, who notice the quiet child, who laugh easily. Skills can be built; that instinct cannot.
Our team love coming to work, and the children feel it. That's the reassurance I want families to leave with: their child is with adults who genuinely want to be here.
Our centre
A peek inside Mount Low, our rooms, our spaces and the kids who make it tick.
Rooms at Mount Low
Children move up through our rooms together as a cohort, with carefully managed transitions guided by their lead educator.
