Centre Details
7.00am – 6.00pm | 
Monday – Friday

Busy Bees at Balcatta welcomes you with warm and nurturing learning environments, a dedicated art workshop, and engaging outdoor spaces tailored for each age group — with a sandpit, chalk boards, busy boards, and balance beams — where children are encouraged to ignite their sense of curiosity and discovery.

At Busy Bees at Balcatta, your child will benefit from:

  • Small, family-oriented day care with a home-like environment
  • Montessori-inspired learning programs with STEAM, foreign languages, excursions, incursions and much more
  • Transition to school program, led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher
  • Long-standing team of highly qualified Educators
  • Nutritionally balanced morning tea, afternoon tea and late snacks
  • Our pet rabbit, Gus, teaches the children about care, empathy and responsibility
  • Our extended hours give you the freedom to drop off and pick up when it works for you

Our child care in Bacatta is inspired by Montessori teachings and philosophies, and our curriculum draws upon the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) whilst maintaining an awareness of the Australian Curriculum. Children are given opportunities to test their ideas, themselves, their relationships and materials. We believe that play fosters imagination and flexibility of mind, promoting children’s ability to be open and independent learners, now and in the future. We believe children are infinitely competent, active and come equipped to guide their own development and learning, striving to integrate their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, moral and spiritual aspects of being.

We are conveniently located next to West Balcatta Primary School and a hop, skip and a jump away from Balcatta Senior High School. Our bilingual Educators — French, Creole, Korean, Singhalese, Tamil, Hindi, Dzongkha, Afrikaans and Dutch — love to share their languages and cultures with the children. The children are given the opportunity to extend their learning though the Happy Feet Fitness program on Tuesdays that combines dance, music and the joy of active play (optional paid extra).

One of the core focuses of our Balcatta Kindy is getting children set for school. We have a strong relationship with our neighbouring West Balcatta Primary School that allows us to offer programs that enable a smooth transition to school for all children in our care. We work in partnership with the local school and you to make their transition to school successful. Our quality learning programs are designed to build resilience, vital social skills and independence, while preparing children with all the essentials they need to take their next big steps in school and life.

We would love to have you join our Busy Bees family at Balcatta. We look forward to meeting your family! Book your tour today.

Sunitha Maharaj

Service Manager

Hello, my name is Sunitha and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Balcatta.

I am an International Montessori Teacher and I have a background in the performing arts. But most importantly, I am a “mumsy” and a “wifey” roles that I utterly adore.

As I have worked through the years in this sector, on the floor as a teacher and in several leadership roles, I have learned that one of the things that is vital for success is fostering supportive relationships.

On the flip side of my work persona, I am a bookworm, a connoisseur of a good cuppa, friend of four legged creatures and trying to master at least one yoga pose!

My little girl who is quite the handful has been going here for the past two years and has settled in so well here, which I always thought would be an issue wherever she went.

I was very anxious about leaving my son after a bad experience with a nanny, but the girls at Balcatta were so patient and loving towards him. Within two weeks he had settled so well and is learning so much every week !

It's so much more than a day care — they go above and beyond to instruct children in manners and behaviour, and encourage them to learn about the world around them, not just reading and counting.

The team are as passionate about my child's development as if he was their own. I could give no higher recommendation; when I tell my son he is going to 'school' today he's at the door saying "Hurry up Mummy!".

Great day care with amazing teachers. We enrolled our kids after not the best experience at another centre and we never looked back. We've watched our kids blossom, become more confident and independent.
