Busy Bees at O’Connor welcomes you with warm and inviting learning spaces, an art studio, and large outdoor playgrounds tailored for each age group — with sandpits, slides, a bike track, a swing, and a vegetable garden and bush tucker garden — where children are encouraged to ignite their sense of curiosity and discovery.
At Busy Bees at O’Connor, your child will benefit from:
Our O’Connor childcare in Perth is inspired by the Reggio Emilia learning approach and has created natural environments for children to explore, experiment and enjoy imaginative play. We view each child as strong, capable, resilient and unique learners with an abundance of wonder. We focus on teaching sustainability and respect for the environment through our worm farm, compost, bush tucker garden, vegetable garden, and use of recycled and natural materials in our art studio.
We are proud to have a strong reputation in the community for our friendly and dedicated Educators who make everyone feel at home. Our multicultural and bilingual team — Polish, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, Malay, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Spanish, Farsi and Bengali — love to share their languages and cultures with the children. Children are given the opportunity to extend their learning through the Flexible Friends yoga program on Thursdays and the Happy Feet Fitness program on Tuesdays that combines dance, music and the joy of active play (optional paid extras).
Our O’Connor Kindergarten has a dedicated house set up to inspire stimulating research and exploration. Each room is set up to focus on different skill sets, such as writing, role play, and construction to support the current learning programs. Children are allowed the independence to choose the areas that spark their curiosity and how they would like to engage with learning each day.
We would love to have you join our Busy Bees family at O’Connor. We look forward to meeting your family! Book your tour today.
Service Manager
Hello, my name is Gemma and I am the Service Manager at Busy Bees at O’Connor. I have been teaching children for over 10 years, both in the United Kingdom and Australia across both primary school and day care settings.
I am deeply passionate about children’s well-being, education and growth. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming setting for children while providing an environment conducive to growing and learning.
The first five years of every child’s life are crucial for their future success. That’s why I strive to create stimulating learning environments that encourage children to discover, create and feel a sense of self-accomplishment.
As a Service Manager, my goal is to create positive relationships with all children, families and educators so that we can work together to provide high quality care. For children to thrive, they need to feel secure and comfortable in their environment, and this includes the whole family unit. I want to create a Service that is warm, welcoming and full of fun, love and laughter. A place where we can communicate and work together for your child. I wish to provide a feeling that Busy Bees at O’Connor is your home away from home!
My family consists of a wonderful husband and two beautiful girls named Úna and Fiadh — who also attend the Service. I am a music-mad person — I love listening to all types of music! There is always music playing in my house or car. I also play guitar and bass, and love dancing with my girls.
Assistant Service Manager
Hi, my name is Magda and I am the Assistant Service Manager at Busy Bees at O’Connor.
I am so excited to be sharing your child’s early learning journey with you. I have worked in the Early Childhood industry for five years and hold a Diploma in Early Education and Care. During that time, I have worked in various positions including Educator, Lead Educator, OSHC Service Coordinator, and now Assistant Service Manager
My favourite part about being Assistant Director at Busy Bees at O’Connor is that I get to follow my passion for educating young children and mentoring other Educators along the way. I believe in providing a safe, welcoming, and secure environment for all families, children, and staff members. Each child should feel at home and be able to use their imagination and curiosity throughout the day.
During my spare time, I love to spend time with my family, cook, travel the world, and eat amazing food along the way.
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.
