12 JULY 2016 – Embargoed till 13 JULY 2016 MOCCA to stay put After two years of uncertainty over the future of its site MOCCA is staying put. MOCCA’s stay of execution was announced by Chief Minister Andrew Barr after intense lobbying from community groups including the Kingston Barton Residents’ Group, the Griffith Narrabundah Community Association and the Inner South Canberra Community Council. MOCCA’s Director Mrs Robby McGarvey welcomed the decision saying, ‘it will enable the childcare centre to continue to build its excellent learning environment and community culture’. Mrs McGarvey said ‘MOCCA’s community erupted in cheers when Mr Barr confirmed on June 30 that his government no longer required the centre to relocate’. While expressing delight at the Government’s decision Mrs McGarvey calls on the ACT Government to honour its 2014 promise to upgrade the centre facilities. Mrs McGarvey said ‘MOCCA will need ongoing financial assistance from the government to meet and exceed the National Quality Framework Standards. It would be a shame to reaffirm MOCCA's longstanding home in Manuka only to be faced with an unmanageable debt through much needed renovations’. ‘While we operate from an older style purpose‐built government facility we have lovingly transformed it into a stimulating learning haven for children, families and early childhood professionals.’ Mrs McGarvey noted that one family described MOCCA as ‘a slice of childcare heaven’. Mrs McGarvey announced ‘MOCCA has two reasons to celebrate – first it is staying on the site it has occupied for 53 years, and second – MOCCA has been assessed as exceeding standards in every quality criterion, awarding us an overall rating of the Exceeding National Quality Standards for Early Childhood Education and Care and School Age Care.’ MOCCA’s future is very positive, with demand for places increasing. There are currently 200+ children on the waiting list with occupancy rates steadily climbing to full capacity in recent times. With the three to four year age group seeing the highest need and usage MOCCA is excited to be looking into the possible interim use of a small solar‐powered demountable for the preschool room and to spread the under fours between the two larger rooms. Mrs McGarvey said ‘a big thanks must go to the families and our excellent educators who stuck with MOCCA, coming each day to share another day ever hopeful of a positive outcome for this brilliant place we call MOCCA. Thanks to their support, persistence and unwavering commitment MOCCA now has some certainty of its future.’ Minister Rattenbury, Minister for Education will be presenting MOCCA with their Final National Quality Assessment certificate at a celebration party at MOCCA at 30 Flinders Way Manuka at 10.30AM on Wednesday 13 July.
