Service Manager
Hello, my name is Sam West and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Castlemaine.
I have enjoyed working at Busy Bees at Castlemaine for the last 13 years. I started as a Diploma Trainee, and worked my way up to a Group Leader, to then become Service Manager in 2014.
I have an absolute passion for setting our children up to be the best people they can be. I strive to provide a day care centre where all children feel loved and safe. My personal teaching philosophy is based around the Reggio Emilia approach and that it takes a village to raise a child.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two beautiful boys, Julian and Lewis. We are a sport based family; we race historic cars, I play basketball and women’s footy.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Busy Bees Early Learning acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and recognises First Nations peoples’ continued cultural and spiritual connections to land, sea, sky and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
