Our purpose-built early learning service is located right in the middle of Panania, conveniently adjacent to the local Picnic Point Bowling & Social club. With its central location it can easily be accessed from wherever you are in Panania. All our Educators are highly qualified and possess not only Early Childhood Education knowledge and experience, but also have a deep love for working with children.

We follow this philosophy and offer children uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention.

Tina Gouskos

Service Manager

Hi, my name is Tina and I am the Service Manager of Busy Bees at Panania. I have worked with children for 20 years in various educational settings. I hold a Bachelor of Education (birth – five) and a Diploma in Children’s Services.

During my time at Busy Bees, I have had the opportunity to hold various roles building my skills and knowledge. I loved working with the Preschool children as the Early Childhood Teacher delivering the Start Strong Program, engaging in Educational Leader responsibilities, and fulfilling Assistant Manager duties.

During my learning journey, I was involved in implementing and delivering various projects funded by the Department of Community and Justice. My role was to support and build parental capacity delivering workshops such as Tuning into Kids: How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children, Circle of Security, Play Power, and Tantrums and Behaviour Management. Helping families and making a small difference is very rewarding for me.

I am passionate about implementing engaging environments that foster children’s curiosity, creativity and agency. I feel strongly about developing children’s well-being through nurturing environments and positive relationships. My vision is to create a culture where children, families and our community feel a sense of belonging as soon as they step into Busy Bees at Panania.

I look forward to supporting your child’s development, getting to know your family and working in partnership for the children’s best outcomes.

Caring, supportive and intelligent educators and clean, beautiful facilities. A wonderful place for children to learn. My daughter started recently and instantly loved it and felt comfortable and excited to attend preschool each week.

They have helped my little boy come out of his shell so much since he started. He's not super shy any more which is lovely to see.

My son attends Busy Bees at Panania and I can not recommend it highly enough. The staff are brilliant and consistent, which was important for my nervous son to see the same educators week in week out.

Busy Bees at Panania has a child and family centred approach that you feel from the moment you step through the door. If it isn’t the friendly greeting you receive, the community pantry/wardrobe will make you feel truly welcome.

My son transitioned to Busy Bees (from another daycare) almost 6 months ago and it has been such a wonderful experience. Today during pick up he didn't want to leave and said he wasn't ready yet!
