Welcome to Billy Button Early Learning - Now Open!

Welcome to Billy Button Early Learning Centre!

Billy Button Early Learning is a family-owned Childcare Centre, that is committed to nurturing the development of children by providing them an environment that will allow their full potential to flourish.

Our service is located at 366 McDonalds Road, opposite Westfield and next to the new Pipe Track Park, in the heart of South Morang. Our Centre is named after the “Billy Button”, a bright, joyful yellow daisy that is indigenous to the local community.

Our foundation is built on three main core values: Discovery, Connection and Respect. Through a highly qualified team of educators, our play-based curriculum nurtures children to form a strong sense of identity, that strengthens their social and emotional skills.

A home away from home, our families are ensured a child-safe environment where their children will thrive.

“Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be – the unknown person inside each of them is the hope for the future”.

Janusz Korczak.

Our Programs

Our curriculum at Billy Button Early Learning is derived from the National and Victorian Standards which incorporates the five learning outcomes: Identity, Community, Wellbeing, Learning and Communication. All our children’s development is documented on a digital platform called Storypark so that it is available at your fingertips!

  • Long Day Care - Our service is for children from the ages of 6 weeks old to 6 years old.
  • Kindergarten Program - Our 3-year-old program and 4-year-old program has Highly Qualified registered Early Childhood Teachers with years of experience working with children. They are passionate about school readiness and will work with each family to ensure their child is ready for Primary School.
  • Before & After School Care - Our service offers care for school age children with an available bus service to take them to and from school. This allows families flexibility with ONLY one drop off and pick up required during their busy schedules.
  • Vacation Care - Billy Button has School Holiday programs for Primary school aged children. Programs will be available for enrolment four weeks prior to school holidays.

In addition, we offer the following programs:

Community Connections Program - Billy Button Early Learning has a strong sense of community and nature which will continue through experiences such as community walks, teddy bear picnics at the neighbouring Pipe Track Park, Bush walks/explorations and lots more!

Dance/ music program - Dance and music give children an opportunity to express themselves in a different language that brings out creativity and imagination. Our program in dance and music is open ended and delivered within our fortnightly programs which will build into an end of year celebration concert. Different cultures, instruments and musical genres are considered in the program as we introduce all forms of music and dance to the children.

Sports program - Billy Button Early Learning has partnered with Little Sports Heroes to run the Sports program on a weekly basis. We aim to deliver a four-stage program designed to focus on increasing the level of knowledge and difficulty as the children progress. Your child’s development both mentally and physically is important to us. We believe that through active participation in a systematic approach to the basics, your children will have every opportunity to learn a variety of new skills whilst having fun. To find out more please see the Little Sports Heroes booklet attached with further information around the four-term program. (Link attached with booklet)

Buddy Program - Here at Billy Button Early Learning, we believe that children are capable and competent learners. That through peer-to-peer interactions, they can gain insights that would otherwise be missed. Our Buddy program has been created to allow for sibling interactions as well as integration between the different age groups across the service. The purpose of this is to encourage social and emotional development in all ages through empathy and respect. This is a highly successful program that brings forth confidence and acceptance in each child’s identity as they continue to find themselves.

Garden to Kitchen Program - The Garden to Kitchen program has been developed to teach children where food comes from and how it gets to our table every day. They will learn how to connect with nature through our vegetable garden and composting system as they assist in the care towards the environment. It will encourage healthy eating habits as we introduce them to food preparation and cooking opportunities with our very own Master Chef!

Parent Program - Our Parent Program is made up of a set of sessions that will give families in the community an opportunity to connect, learn and socialize together. Attached to this is our mother’s group, father’s group, and special persons group that will meet at our very own on-site Café once a month. More information to follow.
