Hi, I’m Amy and I’ve had the pleasure of working in the childcare sector since 2018.
Busy Bees at Donvale is a welcoming early learning environment where children build relationships, engage in learning, develop strong connections and begin to understand the community around them.
Our Donvale childcare centre features a range of purpose-designed learning environments, from art and STEM rooms to expansive outdoor play spaces that inspire the curious young mind.
Throughout their time at our Donvale kindergarten and daycare, your child will benefit from expert support, provided by experienced educators in a warm, inclusive environment. Our curriculum will encourage them to develop skills in cooking, gardening, art and communication through intergenerational programs with the neighbouring retirement village.
We’d love to welcome you and your child to our Donvale childcare centre.

Learn about our safety approachLike all Busy Bees centres, our Donvale childcare makes it easy for families to understand fees and payment structures. We pass on the benefits of the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to reduce the cost of daily care.
Our transparent daily fees vary depending on your child's age group.
Daily fees include meals, nappies, wipes and enriching learning programs.

Educational Leader – 8+ years of experience
“I love walking into each classroom, connecting with children through conversation and play and listening to the many ways they communicate their ideas.” Outside of work, I love reading, spending time in nature, being with my husband and our two cats, and continuing my studies in Psychological Sciences. Learning has always been something I'm passionate about, especially when it helps me better understand children's development and emotional wellbeing.
