About Mungarra Kindergarten
Welcome to Mungarra Kindergarten, a reputable establishment nestled in the leafy suburb of St Ives on the North Shore of Australia. Located on a quiet suburban street at Mungarra Avenue, 12, our kindergarten has been operating since 2012, providing exceptional care and quality education to children in a small 25 place service.
One of our key strengths is our high educator to child ratios, which allows us to deliver personalized attention and support to each child. This has earned us a good reputation in the local community, as parents trust us to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little ones.
At Mungarra Kindergarten, we believe that a child's success in learning begins when they feel safe and supported as individuals. Our overall approach to education is consistent throughout the center, focusing on accommodating and supporting children in all aspects of their learning and development. We value the voices, interests, and cultures of our children, which form the foundations of each program.
Our kindergarten is divided into two age groups: The Barn Owls, which caters to the youngest age group, and The Snowy Owls, which focuses on children's independence and emotional regulation. Our educators commit to ongoing communication with families and provide a welcoming learning environment that bridges the gap between home and care.
We also prioritize children's readiness for school, offering intentional and planned experiences to build their literacy and numeracy skills in a fun and informal manner. Our goal is to ensure that children enter the next phase of their learning with confidence, equipped with social and emotional skills, self-help abilities, and a proactive approach towards learning.
Nutrition is a crucial aspect of our program, and our catering company works closely with nutritionists and dieticians to ensure the highest nutritional standards. Our menu follows the Australian Dietary Guidelines, incorporating food from all five food groups. We also promote healthy eating and physical activity, limiting small screen recreation to support the prevention of childhood overweight and obesity.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we use earth-friendly and organic chemicals, as well as recycled/biodegradable paper towels and cloths. We raise environmental awareness through various means, including group discussions, classroom activities, gardening, and utilizing a composting system. Our educators and children learn about caring for the environment and respecting the natural world by growing their own vegetables and herbs in our veggie pod.
Inclusion is a core value at Mungarra Kindergarten, and our Inclusion Support Officer works closely with our center manager and KU inclusion support officer to ensure that all children are engaged and participating to their maximum potential. We also aim to embed the Aboriginal perspective into our weekly routine, ensuring that children learn about our nation's first people.
Finally, we recognize the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills in today's evolving world. Our kindergarten integrates STEM into our learning and development approach, providing students with a solid foundation for success in school and beyond.
We invite you to explore our comprehensive and holistic kindergarten program at Mungarra Kindergarten, where we prioritize the individual needs and development of each child while fostering a love for learning and preparing them for their journey ahead.

Reviews of Mungarra Kindergarten
"My 2yo loves her time at Mungarra. We switched two months ago from another centre in the area and it was a great decision for us. The educators are all so welcoming, engaging and experienced. Good educators can make or break a centre. My 2yo was saying “more [insert educators name]” after her first day and is excited to go each week. They have lots of toys/activities with good indoor and outdoor spaces to keep my little one busy. We haven’t had tears once at drop off where as that was the norm at our previous place. The smaller centre environment suits us perfectly."
"High quality, friendly environment. My two kids have attended mungarra kindergarten more than one year, and our experience has been exceptional. They learn so much and comfortable with each of the educators. .I would highly recommend to all"
"My daughter has been attending Mungarra Kindergarten for 4 years, since she was 1. The staffs are wonderful, friendly, caring and nurturing.The outdoor play area and indoors are always filled with fun and educational activities. we love it! I highly recommend this childcare center to other parents."
"We started our two children at Mungarra in the past year. We moved our 4 (now 5) year old son here from a larger centre and we could not be happier. Our little girl was 18 months when she started and we have had a very positive experience for her too. Mungarra is very much a place where you know all the educators well and they get to know you and your family. There is a lovely ‘community feel’ where we have also gotten to know many other parents and made new friendships. After a morning drop off recently my husband called me to reiterate again what a “warm and caring environment we have found for our children”. The staff genuinely care about each child and nothing is ever too much to ask. I look forward to drop off and pick ups as chatting to the team is like an extended group of friends. The educators all have a passion about the work they do and the activities they create for the kids are constantly varied, creative and engaging. I have been consistently impressed with the educational experiences and knowledge. Recent excursions and the school readiness program in the 4-5 year old room have been wonderful and absolutely ‘exceed expectations’. Mungarra is a rare find. It has made a huge difference to our family and we are incredibly grateful for all they do for our children. Highly recommended and thank you to the caring Mungarra team."
"An amazing Centre!!! They care for the children like they are their own. Their education program is also as good as any of the top pre schools. I am so grateful to Jenny and her team"
