Childcare and Kindergarten
 at Epping

At Billy-beet childcare and kindergarten, Our philosophy is:

to support children’s learning and development to their full potential

Our Epping centre, caters for children up to five years old, and we offer vacation care that caters for children from prep to grade 6.

We are committed to providing a developmental and educational program which caters for each child’s individual needs, abilities and interests by following the Early Years Learning Framework. Our program will continue to develop as we use the relationships children have with their families and communities, working in partnership with parents, to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of our programs.

We understand it is difficult for parents to choose the right care for their children. The philosophy of Billybeet Child Care & Kindergarten has been developed with the involvement of both staff and families. We have an open door policy – you and your family are welcome to visit our service at any time.

If you are interested in finding out more about our childcare centre, kindergarten or outside school hourse care facility, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You are most welcome to visit and view the centre in operation – our Coordinator is more than happy to meet with interested parents to discuss the centre programs and answer any questions.
