A child's life is like a piece of paper, on which every person leaves a mark. - Chinese proverb That's why our early childhood educators at Cardiff Busy Bee Pre-School are passionate about equipping your children with skills for life, in a fun, caring, and safe learning environment. We are a family-owned and operated early childhood education facility, which has been in operation for more than 30 years. Many parents who are now enrolling their children, once attended our pre-school themselves. They want their children to experience the same exciting, educational experience as they did. Our pre-school grounds are something pretty special. Indoors, is bright and colourful; a stimulating environment with designated areas for story time, art and quiet time. We have cultivated an exciting interactive outdoor area full of fruit trees, veggie gardens, and pets. With us, you won't miss out on precious time with your child. We'll document their learning along the way with photos, updates to our private Facebook group for parents, and detailed documentation on your child's development. Once your child has been accepted, there is a placement fee of $120 to be paid prior to the start date. The daily rate is $97 per day, per child, but you can claim for child care subsidy and benefits if you are entitled. Our pre-school centre, located in Maud St, Cardiff South, is open from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with the exception of public holidays and two weeks over the Christmas/New Year period.
