About Mt Carberry Preschool

Located in the heart of the community, Mt Carberry Kindergarten offers a rich, play-based 3 and 4year old program that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and discovery. We understand that children are naturally driven to play, and we use this as a foundation for meaningful learning.

Our philosophy
At Mt Carberry Kindergarten, our Educators actively support and extend children's learning through purposeful interactions that foster inquiry and promote deeper thinking, helping each child reach their full potential in a fun, supportive environment.

Our experienced and caring teaching team enrich learning experiences to each child's interests and developmental stage, fostering independence and a strong sense of belonging. Through teamwork and shared dedication, we create nurturing and inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive.

Mt Carberry Kindergarten is a place where children can thrive socially and emotionally, building confidence and a love for learning that results in a smooth transition to school.

What makes us special?
At Mt Carberry Kindergarten, we

• have a strong connection to local schools with ‘both ways’ visiting programs, for example, St Anthony’s Primary School Choir come visit to sing songs for the children, and we participate in the Step up to Prep programs
• have approaches to teaching and learning that ensure our diverse cultural backgrounds of families and community are acknowledged and embedded within our programs
• visit regularly with Arcare-senior citizens, spending mornings sharing in activities and morning tea.

"We feel very fortunate that my son has been able to experience a wide variety of activities and incursions. The large outdoor play area is always evolving and engaging for his busy mind - thank you Mt Carberry Preschool!
Kim, Parent

Our second year with Mt Carberry and they have been wonderful. I love that it is more of an old school small community kindergarten. Reminds me of when i went to kinder and has more of a homely feel to it which I love.

Such a welcoming team of educators to the children and also the parents.
Andi, Parent

All the staff of Mt Carberry is really supportive and amazing in very aspect.

My son is still pretty new the child care and he was bit anxious to go to new childcare, but Michelle handled him really well, she told us strategies to make my son more comfortable, my son get along with Michelle really well, he loves her.

As a parent I feel safe to send my kid to Mt Carberry!

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

"Our curriculum is play based and draws reference from socio-cultural theories of learning and teaching.

Play requires skilled educators to be intentional in all aspects of their practices and we have built a curriculum around key focus points that reflect the National Early Years Learning Frameworks. Our curriculum is influenced by individual children’s learning styles, interests, families and intentionally planned experiences."

An incredible kindergarten, filled with the most kind hearted and patient teachers. My son has many additional needs and he absolutely loved every day here. He never woke up with anything but excitement to attend. He will truly miss the wonderful souls who run this kinder and all the incredible activities, experiences and memories they gave to him!

Response from the owner 14 Jan 2026

Thank you so much, Vee, for sharing such a heartfelt review. We’re incredibly honoured to have supported your son during his time at Mt Carberry Preschool and to know that he felt so happy, excited, and cared for each day. Your recognition of our educators’ kindness, patience, and dedication — particularly in supporting children with additional needs — means a great deal to our team. We hope your son carries these positive memories and experiences forward, and we truly appreciate the trust you placed in us.
