Centre Details
6.30am – 6.00pm | 
Monday – Friday

Busy Bees at Yokine is a small family-oriented day care that offers specialised care for 41 children from 8 weeks to 5 years of age. Our close-knit community environment feels like a second home for the children in which we provide personalised attention and build strong relationships with our families.

At our Yokine preschool, we offer:

  • Nutritionally balanced meals prepared onsite by our Chef
  • Transition to school program led by an Qualified Early Childhood Teacher
  • Enriching program with art, Italian language lessons, STEM, excursions, incursions, outdoor education, sports and yoga
  • Literature rich environment — songs, nursery rhymes and books
  • Mindful movement program on Thursdays that develops social and emotional skills, as well as physical and mental well-being through relaxed guided movement exercises (optional extra)
  • Weekly Happy Feet Fitness program on Fridays that combines dance, music and the joy of active play (optional extra)
  • Breakfast buffet for parents on Mondays

We are strong believers in child-led learning and the curiosity approach, which fosters learning through a child’s freedom of exploration and experimentation of the environments and resources around them. Our use of loose parts play and authentic resources are two of the many ways we encourage curiosity and a sustainable lifestyle through the promotion of recycling and reusing.

It is important to us that we provide all children with moments of relaxation and reflection, so when you enter our centre one of the first things you will hear, apart from the sounds of laughter and play, will be the relaxing sounds of classical music. Outside you’ll find a natural outdoor environment — with sandpits, slide, bike track, cubby house and worm farm — where children are encouraged to ignite their curiosities and sense of discovery.

Our diverse multicultural team enhances the children’s learning of different traditions and perspectives, preparing them for life in an increasingly interconnected world. Our bilingual educators — German, Polish, Vietnamese, Korean, Philipino, Sinhala, Dzongkh, Albanian and Amharic — love to share their languages and culture though singing and teaching new words.

From the moment a child enters our nursery room, to the moment they graduate, we are actively guiding them to become confident, resilient and involved learners who are set to enter their first years of schooling.

We would love to have you join our Busy Bees family at our Yokine Centre. Book a tour today!

Not only has our daughter greatly enjoyed her time here (2 months in), it's been a very personable experience for us parents too. The Carers and Center Manager know both our names, show a genuine interest in our child's development at daycare and our lives at home too.
