About Butterflies International Child Care Centre

"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.

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Butterflies Early Learning Centre! Our daughter has been with Butterflies Early Learning Centre for three wonderful years and this year she graduated as a preschooler. Moving from Malaysia to Sydney was a big change for our family and finding the right childcare centre was a top priority. We visited many centres and initially tried two, but it quickly became clear that Butterflies was the perfect fit for our daughter. The biggest sign was how excited she was to go to Butterflies every single day—except when she was unwell! The transition from overseas to a completely new environment wasn’t easy. She started as a quiet, observant and nervous child, but with the love, care and support from the amazing educators at Butterflies, she quickly blossomed into a happy, confident and cheerful little girl. As parents, our main focus is ensuring our child is emotionally happy, well-cared for and thriving. Rose and her incredible team truly understand and embrace each child’s individuality, creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and loved. Thank you, Butterflies Early Learning Centre, for providing such a warm and beautiful experience for our daughter. These three years have been unforgettable and we are so grateful for all the care and support you’ve given her. I would wholeheartedly recommend Butterflies to any parent looking for a loving, supportive and high-quality early learning centre.

    My daughter is in preschool. She loves going to butterflies for their friendship, dedication and caring. My daughter learned a lot from her teachers. She loves the subjects that they give in butterflies. Rose the director is also hands on teaching. She knows every child's needs and work on improving them. Eunice is a very positive person. There is one time when my daughter managed to spell a big word and got it right she was so proud and she made sure that we knew that my daughter did that so we could imprace her. Eunice and Rose are very enthusiastic people with a very detailed oriented. They know everything about the child's charts and how they improved in the past couple of months. They always work on the child's needs and work on how to improve the curriculum to satisfy all children 's need.

    Hi Diana, thank you so much for your positive feedback. It makes us feel delighted that you can notice your child's improvement as we do. We would also like to thank you for being your child's strong support and trusting us in this collaborative relationship.

    The team at Butterflies are friendly, experienced and attentive. My 11 month old has just started at butterflies, my top priority is her emotional wellbeing and this is something that butterflies takes seriously. Butterflies offered us unlimited orientation days which is unlike any other daycare we looked at. We organised 2 weekly orientations over a 2 month period where I attended also and introduced my daughter to her new environment, peers and educators. By the time her first day came around and I was to drop her off and leave she felt safe, was able to enjoy herself and fully engage in activities. This meant I could focus fully on work and feel calm knowing that she was not in distress. Thank you to Rose and the team for making an otherwise stressful experience so easy.

    Aww~Thank you for your positive feedback Nicole! Your valuable feedback makes all our work worth it. I'm sure your baby is also very proud of your effort of trying to make things easier for her~ Feeling safe is the number 1 before learning and thriving, and we know that we can achieve it together with the trust we have built!

  • Arisa Yoneyama9 months ago

    Rose and her team of educators welcomed us from overseas very warmly, and our children were happily attending the childcare within a month. The children are all international and from different backgrounds, which has a great inspiration to my children. We are glad to be a part of the community and hope many more will enjoy their childcare experience at Butterflies Early Learning Centre in near future.

    Response from the owner9 months ago

    Thank you for providing such positive feedback for us Arisa. We're glad to see how well both children are settled smoothly. With a diverse culture in our small community, we always want to make sure to acknowledge each child's cultural identity that they should feel they belong to and be proud of.
