The family behind Billy-beet Montessori

A note from our family

A family business, through and through

We started Billy-beet because we believe childcare works best when the people responsible for it stay close to it. We visit the rooms, we know the educators, and our centres carry our name. We are personally involved in each one, and we would not have it any other way.

Montessori felt like a natural fit for the same reason. It takes children seriously, from their growing independence to the quiet pride they feel when they do real things for themselves. We are proud to bring it to our communities, and prouder still of the people who deliver it every day.
