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:
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!

We have regular updates from the centre manager on how our boy is developing, and you go above and beyond to make him feel safe. Great job to you all.
The activities and learning opportunities are fantastic, innovative and different every day. They provide a great variety of food which is always healthy and nutritious.
The educators go above and beyond for the children and they all seem to truly love what they do. They also have an amazing chef who provides such a great variety of foods. It's a great centre with great management and staff.Â
Her transition from being home with myself all day everyday to attending day care was hard to think about. I was very quickly reassured and with a very smooth transition and fantastic communication skills from both staff and management all my worries had disappeared. I instantly felt at ease and new that she was in very safe hands. Everything about Busy Bees is wonderful.
My boys could not have been at a better place to start their early learning journey.
We feel like part of a community, something that can be lacking with the busy lives we lead and something that is very important for children to feel especially when we don't have a very big family support network nearby.
Our children are growing and will only be at Busy Bees for a little while longer but the foundations of confidence, compassion, and love of learning will influence them for a lifetime. Thank you to the team at Busy Bees at Yokine.
They love turning up each day but should they happen to have an off morning the girls really help with the handover. All the staff are amazing — very patient with the children and lots of good open communication with the parents. The extra curricular activities offered at the centre are a great option, and the food is amazing! 10 out of 10, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees at Yokine to anyone.
Great daily communication and updates, really interactive caring staff, healthy food, beautiful indoor and outdoor environment and lots of thoughtful well planned events for parents/family members to attend. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Management is excellent, the staff are warm, kind, professional and very experienced. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The facilities are beautiful and the atmosphere and culture is so lovely. Best of all our girl loves it. Busy Bees is her second family and she is thriving. Thank you all so much!
