Service Manager
Hello, my name is Helena and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Mt Lawley South.
I hold an Early Childhood Teacher Qualification with over 13 years of working in the childcare industry. I have worked at this centre for over 7 years in various roles across the Service.
I am very passionate about the early years and the fundamental role it plays in setting the foundation of learning for our little ones.
I work collaboratively with our team of experienced educators to ensure each family and child has a positive early childhood education experience.
I am a mum to one and enjoy going for long walks in my spare time.
I look forward to working in partnership with you, and building a strong relationship to support you and your child’s individual needs as best I can.
We put this down to the amazing staff and the environment they’re cultivating at the centre. Our daughter was also diagnosed with FPIES prior to commencing and they've been extremely supportive in accommodating her needs. Couldn't recommend this day care enough!
They are always available for a chat and have supported me whilst my son had been in the process of his ASD assessment. They are supportive when we have a therapist visit the centre and always implement any recommended strategies. The outdoor area is amazing! And they spend as much time outdoors as possible which is great! They have supported my son to be more confident around other children. We are so grateful for the care and education they provide, and we will be very sad when it is time to leave the centre. Thanks to all the educators.
You cannot underestimate the value day care brings aside from time, they interact, become more social, learn and most importantly have a lot of fun!
There is a real sense of community here and it demonstrates the proverb that "it takes a village to raise a child".
All of the staff are wonderful — really caring and attentive with a low staff turnover. My daughter is constantly learning and having a ball while she does it. They encourage parents to be involved with what goes on in the centre which gives it a lovely community feel.
The Centre Manager and the team have been incredible in helping our son with separation anxiety adjust to day care. They have also helped us, as parents, adjust to the big change.
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.
