Age 3 - 5 years
Ready for school and confident to thrive
As your child approaches school age, you want to feel confident they’re ready – not just academically, but socially and emotionally too.
At Busy Bees, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Through Bee Curious, every child has an individual learning journey, where we meet them where they are and thoughtfully support them to take their next steps toward school.
Every child is unique, and their learning journey should be too.
What this means for your child
Your child is supported through an individual plan and clear learning progressions that help them build skills over time — at their own pace.
This includes:
- Personalised learning goals based on your child’s strengths, interests, and development
- Step-by-step progressions that build skills in literacy, numeracy, communication and thinking
- Intentional teaching that extends your child’s learning at the right time
- Opportunities to practise and revisit skills, building confidence and mastery
What this means for your family
You’ll see your child:
- Growing in confidence as they achieve their next learning steps
- Communicating more clearly and expressing their ideas
- Building friendships and learning to work with others
- Becoming more independent in everyday tasks
- Showing curiosity, persistence and a willingness to try
You’ll also have visibility of their progress, with regular updates on their goals, development and achievements.

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 or Preschool 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.
