Cassandra Yerasimou

Service Manager

Hello, my name is Cassandra Yerasimou and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs. I’m very blessed to have had extensive experience in many roles over my time here at Noarlunga Downs from student, Assistant Educator, Lead Educator and 2IC to Service Manager. I believe that children should be treated respectfully and embraced as individuals with their own unique learning styles, abilities, and personalities.

Their early years learning environment should be rich with opportunities for children to investigate, interact, have fun, and be stimulated from a very early age as this is the critical time for brain development. Children should be encouraged to be respectful of their environment, polite in their interactions with others, and embrace the similarities and differences of those around them. Children’s curiosity, exploration and energy should be encouraged and fostered to help them become enthusiastic involved learners.

I pride myself on leading a successful team by empowering them to achieve their own goals, which in turn creates an atmosphere where Educators are engaged, and children have meaningful and respectful relationships in an environment where families have confidence in those caring for and educating their children.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my fiancé and going on adventures. I’m a family-oriented person and enjoy spending time with those who are important to me. I have a passion for fitness and enjoy going to the gym.

I look forward to meeting your family, and caring for and educating your children.

Shaye Stephens

Assistant Service Manager

Hello, my name is Shaye Stephens, and I am the Assistant Service Manager at Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs. I have worked in the Early Childhood Industry for many years and throughout my time I have been lucky to work with a variety of ages groups in a range of different roles.

I believe that children are capable, competent, and unique learners. Each child has a right to feel safe, secure, and supported in their learning environments. As an Early Childhood Educator, I believe we need to foster nurturing, respectful, and encouraging relationships that are significant in their development.

Partnerships with families are the foundation of education in the early years, based on open communication and trust. I seek to develop these partnerships through valuing each other’s knowledge and understanding of each child, and the roles each of us play in the child’s life as the saying goes ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ Valuing family to educator relationships will allow us to collaboratively work together, this enables us to discover the potential of each child and develop cultural competence.

Children are motivated to learn when they have opportunities to make choices in an environment that is enriching and stimulating. Children are curious from infancy and have a desire to learn from their environment and those around them.

I am inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, recognising and utilising ‘Environments as the Third Teacher’. Based on this theory, I consider it’s extremely important to create a stimulating environment that provides opportunities to engage and foster a sense of ownership and respect along with opportunities for open-ended play, allowing educators to scaffold the children’s learning guided by each child’s individual interests, needs and uniqueness. Learning through play is the foundation of our Service’s curriculum. Our Educational pedagogies and practices incorporate critical reflections and the documentation of each child’s learning.

It was daunting putting our daughter in day care for the first time, but the staff at Busy Bees went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Our daughter absolutely loves it. The space is beautiful and we get updates all throughout the day on her progress and activities. The learning environment are bright, fun and inviting. The food menu always looks and smells delicious and the chef does a wonderful job at catering for dietary needs. Highly recommend this wonderful service.

Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs provides every thing and every opportunity for preschoolers to maximise their potential. My kids have loved going there. The staff and educators are like extended family, and I feel happy and confident with their care.

This place is amazing. I highly recommend sending your child here. The educators are lovely people, I have had no issues with any of them. There has been great communication about my child's care throughout the whole time he has been there, and any time I wanted to talk to someone about anything, I have always received the attention I felt my issue needed.

My son has been attending for nearly 3 years and he loves it. He has formed really strong connections with staff in each of the rooms he has been part of and they work hard to make transitions smooth as he progresses. I have found all educators treat the kids with warmth and respect.

The staff are wonderful. The centre manager is warm and friendly. The centre is gorgeous. The gardens are just wonderful. I enrolled straight away. It’s a little out of my way, but well worth me travelling the extra few minutes to and from the centre daily.

Busy Bees is an amazing environment for little ones to grow. The staff have always been so welcoming and loving of my little man, and he loves them all in return. He's developing so well since attending Busy Bees, we couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for much more

Such a great childcare centre. All the staff are lovely and inviting, they're always happy to see us. It's always so clean inside. They provide so many great activities and experiences for our little ones. My child loves going so much, if anything I feel guilty on the days they're not at childcare because they always have such a great time! They serve a great variety and quality of food, always smells so good at drop off in the mornings.
