Age 2 - 3 years
Growing independence and confidence.
This is the stage where your child begins to say, “I can do it!”
At Busy Bees, we support your child’s growing independence while providing the guidance and reassurance they need to feel confident, capable and understood.
Because learning at this age is all about exploring, trying, connecting — and learning how to be with others.
Every child is unique, and their learning journey should be too.

- Develop language and communication skills
- Build friendships and learn to play alongside with others
- Explore new ideas through play and discovery

Transition to School Program
We follow the philosophy that being set for school begins from day one, even for our nursery children. Our learning programs are designed to build resilience, vital social skills and independence, while preparing children with all the essentials they need to take their next big steps in school and life.
At Busy Bees, our tailored Transition to School program follows a Government-approved Kindergarten framework focused on exploration and discovery.
Working with you...
Our families and communities are the foundation for our work with children. We know that choosing care for your child is one of the most important things you will do and we want to support you to make the best choice for your family. Our Centre Directors, Teaching Practitioners and Educators build positive relationships, getting to know you and your child to deliver tailored learning experiences based on their needs and interests.
We understand how important it is that you are a part of your child’s learning journey. We use Storypark to record your child’s day and support their development to keep you fully up to date at every stage.
Need to pick up a casual day of care? We also offer the Kindynow app, which allows families to easily pick up additional days, as well as notify your child’s absences, straight from your smartphone.
