About Butterflies Early Learning and Childcare

"We are family, for families."

Our Program and Curriculum

Our program covers from Infants all the way to Preschoolers who are getting ready for school. These include day-to-day structured experiences, as well as extra curriculum such as Sports, Early Literacy, Mandarin, Art, Music, and Show and Tell. Alongside these fun learning experiences, we allow children to make their own choices about what they want to play, where they want to be, and how to take their own responsibilities to accept boundaries and respect others in a group environment. 

We strongly believe that School Readiness is not all about Numbers and Letters, but also about being emotionally ready and getting used to a stable routine. We hope that on their first day of Kindergarten, they will say, “I don’t want to go back to Butterflies anymore!”  

Partnership with Families

We have encouraged families’ involvement since day one via multiple platforms. The more our families are involved, the safer our children will feel, hence the more sense of belonging they will have to this local community. 

We listen to their concerns and take them into consideration when making decisions.

Dental Health, Sun Safety, Bees and Honey incursions were all contributed by our own brilliant parents.

Staffing

The best way to provide high-quality care and education is to ensure our educators have enough resources to plan thoroughly. With an experienced leadership team who started as classroom educators, and know exactly what is beneficial for the children. Butterflies provides each room with 1 day a week of off-the-floor programming time for educators to reflect, plan, and update individual portfolios. We believe that it is essential for them to conduct ongoing professional development.

Reviews for Butterflies Early Learning and Childcare

Jessica Cameron6 months ago

Such a beautiful, caring, family-focused center. I've had the privilege of having my two children attend Butterflies - one all the way from baby room up to preschool and one still in baby room - and it has been a wonderful experience the whole way through. Butterflies is lead by a Director who is genuinely passionate about what she does and supported by the most caring educators. It's the kind of place where every staff member knows your name and the name of your children. All educators are genuinely excited to see the kids in the morning and they can't wait to tell you all about the things they learnt when you pick them up. There is a huge focus on being family friendly and the educators will go out of their way to support consistent home routines or work through any issues. There is consistent staffing across the rooms and both of my children have wonderful bonds with their educators. I feel like finding childcare is one of the most stressful things you do as a parent and having trust that you're dropping your children off to a safe, supportive and loving environment is critical. Butterflies is definitely this and more - you can feel it as soon as you walk through the door.
