Safe, nurturing childcare and kindergarten for families in Montrose.
Hi, I'm Katie, Centre Director at Busy Bees, providing quality childcare in Montrose. One of the things you'll love most about our centre is watching children connect with the world beyond our front gate. From nursery wellness walks and Bush Kinder to sharing hot chocolates with residents at our local aged care home, children of every age enjoy meaningful experiences that build confidence, curiosity and a genuine sense of community.
Back at the centre, children's ideas continue to shape their learning. Their voices can be seen throughout our environments in projects, displays, risk assessments and community initiatives, including raising enough money to adopt seven penguins through the Penguin Foundation.
Our long-standing educator team has built trusted relationships with generations of local families, creating the genuine home-away-from-home feeling we're known for. It's a place where children feel valued, families feel connected and every day brings new opportunities to learn, explore and belong.
We’d love to welcome you and your child to visit our Montrose kindergarten and early learning centre.
Our Early Learning Programs.
Every age brings something new, which is why our early learning programs within our Montrose daycare and childcare are designed around your child’s stage of development, interests and growing abilities.
From the close, responsive relationships children need in the nursery to the confidence and independence they develop as they approach school, our educators create play-based experiences that encourage curiosity, communication and a love of learning.
Our Bush Kinder Program encourages little adventurers to explore nature, learning about Aussie plants and animals along the way.
Interactive cooking classes, led by our chef or Educators, teach children about nutrition and food safety.
We support your children’s learning at home with a library of books you’re welcome to borrow.
We celebrate the diverse cultures of our families and educators through special events and traditions throughout the year.

Learn about our safety approachWe know that the cost of childcare in Montrose is an important factor in choosing a centre. Many eligible families can reduce their out-of-pocket costs through the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Our team can help you understand the centre’s fees and what your care arrangements may look like before you enrol.
Our transparent daily fees vary depending on your child's age group.

You know your child better than anybody else. That’s why strong family-educator relationships play such an important part in daycare at Montrose.
Sharing information, celebrating progress and talking openly about your child’s needs enables us to provide a more consistent experience between home and the centre.
You don’t need to wonder what your child has been up to all day. With the Storypark app, families are kept up-to-date with learning, routines and special moments, keeping you in touch with your child’s experiences even when you are apart. You can also speak with educators directly about your child’s day, development or anything you’d like us to know.
Your knowledge of your child helps us understand what excites them, comforts them and encourages them to learn. We welcome conversations about your child’s interests, family traditions, achievements and changing needs so educators can create experiences that feel meaningful and relevant.
It’s a big decision to leave your child with someone else. At Busy Bees’ Montrose childcare, our experienced educators are committed to providing a calm, secure and nurturing environment where children are known as individuals. We believe in straightforward communication, so you can ask questions, voice concerns and stay engaged throughout your child’s stay with us.
The relationships your child builds with their educators can shape how secure and confident they feel each day.
Our Montrose kinder and childcare team focuses on getting to know children as individuals, including what interests them, how they like to communicate, when they need encouragement and what helps them feel at home.
That familiarity creates a stronger foundation for learning, because children are more likely to explore, participate and try something new when they feel safe and understood.
Our experienced team creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to explore, learn and grow with confidence.

Centre Director
Supporting children during their most important developmental years inspired me to begin my early learning career in 2009. Since then, I’ve worked across every age group, as a Kindergarten Teacher, Educational Leader, Primary School Teacher and now Centre Director. I’m passionate about creating environments where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn, while supporting educators to provide those same meaningful experiences every day. At Busy Bees at Montrose, I love the home-away-from-home feeling we’ve created for children and families. Seeing children reach milestones, building strong relationships with our families and knowing our work has a lasting impact is what keeps me passionate. Outside of work, I enjoy baking and run a small business creating cakes, cupcakes and cookies.
