Early Learning Centre
Our Airport West early learning centre offers great-quality childcare and a welcoming community for every family, right here in Victoria.
Hi, I’m Amanda, Centre Director at Busy Bees at Airport West. One of the things I love most about our centre is our dedicated, long-standing team, with most of our educators having been with us for five to seven years. This consistency helps children and families build strong, trusting relationships and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
Our purpose-designed learning spaces encourage creativity, curiosity and collaboration, with plenty of outdoor play for children to explore and grow at their own pace. Children also enjoy weekly music and sports sessions, along with fortnightly visits from a doctor, bringing new experiences and learning opportunities into their day.
We proudly celebrate the diverse cultures of our local community, helping children develop an appreciation for the world around them.
We look forward to welcoming your family to Busy Bees at Airport West.

Centre Director – 15+ years of experience
“I love mentoring educators while supporting children and families through the many milestones of the early years.” My passion for early childhood education started with a grade 10 work placement, and I began my career in 2011. Since then, I've been fortunate to grow through a range of roles, from educator to Centre Director. Today, Busy Bees at Airport West feels like a second home, with our children, families, educators and community at the heart of everything we do. Together we've created a welcoming village filled with support, care and plenty of fun. I'm originally from a rural town in South Australia's Riverland and now I enjoy raising my two young children in Melbourne.

Educational Leader – 5+ years of experience
“I'm proud to work alongside a diverse team that values every child's voice and celebrates the cultures, families and community that make our centre so special.” Supporting young children as they learn, grow and discover their potential is what first inspired my career in early learning. After beginning my teaching journey in 2021, I've found just as much joy in mentoring educators and creating a positive, supportive and respectful environment where children and teams can thrive together. Before becoming a teacher, dance gave me the opportunity to perform in everything from Carols by Candlelight to the Australian Open, and it's still something I love today.

Family Advocate – 9+ years of experience
“I love building genuine relationships with families and sharing in every stage of their child's journey.” Watching children grow from their very first day to the moment they head off to school is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. I began my early learning career in 2017. What makes Busy Bees at Airport West so special is our village, where children, families, educators and the wider community are all connected and support one another. I'm a passionate AFL fan, so outside the centre you'll usually find me cheering on my beloved Essendon Bombers.
