Great Beginnings Bunbury

Great Beginnings Bunbury child care centre is designed to be a home away from home that encourages every child’s exploration. Our state-of-the-art and resource-rich early learning environments have been carefully designed to immerse your child into a world of exploration, curiosity, and learning.  

Each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which encourages endless ways and opportunities for play! Our beautiful, shaded outdoor environments include include sandpits, Astro turf and forts for children to safely develop their strength, balance, and self-confidence through play. Our indoor spaces are well-designed with an abundance of resources that provide open-ended learning and exploration.

Our team of passionate educators and teachers make up the heart of our Bunbury child care centre. Our experienced educators are trained to deliver purposeful teaching and learning experiences through the most effective approaches in early childhood education. Our educators and teachers are passionate about helping every child succeed in discovering their unique identity and become confident, happy and resilient learners.

Play is essential to every child's learning and development. It enables children to make decisions, learn, take risks, and have fun. At our Bunbury child care centre, our experienced educators plan play-based learning activities in line with national standards. The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is designed to engage in your child’s interests and allow them to experience each day in a new way, supporting their learning in the lead-up to primary school.  

Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with:

• Real Life experiences: Children participate in fun and exciting experiences such as woodworking, harvesting the veggie garden, caring for our worm farm and basic cooking skills.  
• Sustainability Program: Each age group participates in a sustainability project that help children embed sustainable practices into everyday life. Children learn about recycling, conserving water, growing food, and the importance of looking after and protecting our planet.    
• Music and movement programs: Our music programs have been designed to help develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory and concentration.  
• Cooking Program: Our in-house centre Chef provides fun and engaging cooking experiences with the children using the veggies and herbs harvested in our very own garden!
• Community engagement activities: We often have visits from local community librarians, local police, and other community services in Bunbury to help familiarise the children with their local community

We provide children with nutrient-rich, fresh and seasonal whole foods created to please even the fussiest of eaters. For variety, our menu rotates every four weeks, with our cook catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child.  

Here at Great Beginnings Bunbury, we believe that by encouraging active participation in food preparation, such as growing & harvesting the fruit and vegetables, preparing, and helping cook the meal, children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
