Butterflies Early Learning and Childcare

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Thank you for the wonderful carers and educators who have given my child lots of love, care, guidance, development and learning opportunities. She made good friends and will miss all of you. 

Victoria, parent

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Winni and the nursery team (especially Jimena) for providing some more photo updates of Sophia throughout the day. I appreciate it so much and felt so happy seeing her enjoy her time at Butterflies. I really appreciate you taking the time to consider my feedback. Have a lovely Friday! 

Melita, parent

‘I am more than grateful to start my educator’s journey in Butterflies and being part of them. I always feel supported, inspired and cared by my amazing colleagues that the way they treat people with love, kindness and respect.’—Suki (Nursery Educator)

 

“My journey at Butterflies started 3 years ago. Not just as a educator but as a mum, I couldn’t be more grateful and can not put into words what this place means to my family.  Having your own child at work can be sometimes challenging for all people involved but since day one my daughter and myself have been treated with outstanding respect and care. The same care and respect I’ve seen towards each child and family welcomed at Butterflies.

In all these years they supported me professionally and as a person and no doubt I would choose Butterflies again to provide the best learning environment a child could have in their early years.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all amazing co workers, teachers and management team at Butterflies.”--Gabrielle and Julia (Nursery Room Leader and Preschooler)

 

I started my journey as an Early Childhood Teacher in Butterflies ten years ago. Back then, Rose and I were both teaching on the floor. Now, as a director, Rose has managed to nurture such a beautiful and supportive environment in Butterflies. I can see the commitment that Butterflies Early Learning has in providing the best for the children. The best educational programs, the best physical environment, the best educators. At Butterflies, educators are valued and respected for their expertise. We work as a team and collaborate extensively- ensuring that our curriculum best reflects the interests of the children. Families can be assured that we always have the children’s best interest in mind and that everyone is seen and their voices heard. I am so lucky to be part of such a supportive team who values my role as an educator. –Nikki (Toddler Educator/ Trainer and Assessor Early Childhood Education and Care)

Rose Yang is the managing director of Butterflies ELC in Artarmon NSW. She believes that each child is unique in their own way and should be treated with respect just like adults. She believes that as an early childhood educator, it is important to stand in each other’s shoes in order to understand the needs of others, no matter how young they are. 

I believe that the consistent collaboration between early childhood educators and families is vital. It is the most efficient way to achieve a common goal and to guide each child’s learning and development.

Rose Yang, Managing Director

Butterflies ELC child-centered play based learning to enhance each child’s development, learning and wellbeing. Educational programs are developed by the individual room educators and clearly outline the proposed teaching strategies and learning intentions.

The Butterflies ELC teaching and learning philosophy is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), with these guidelines remaining central in the planning of daily programs and activities.

Butterflies ELC’s educators use a holistic approach to help children continue developing in all areas, including - physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language.

Butterflies hosts monthly events for children and families as they believe this will help the educators build closer relationships with children, families and the wider community. These events include Harmony Week, Preschool Graduation, Christmas Concert, Multicultural Day, Fire Fighter Day, Grandparents Day, etc.

Early childhood program

Butterflies ELC follows the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) program to guide teaching intentions and practices. Butterflies ELC also incorporates the NSW Curriculum Framework to direct educators and ensure they are offering learning experiences in every part of the day.

Butterflies ELC believes that a good relationship between educators and children is integral to their learning experience as it builds trust, and helps the educators to have a better understanding of a child’s motivations, interests and ideas. Educators provide families with evidence-based education summaries every three months as children work towards their learning and developmental goals and celebrate milestones and achievements.

Transition to school program

Butterflies ELC Transition to School Program has been designed to ensure that children are ready for school in social, physical, and intellectual respects.

At the beginning of the year, Butterflies ELC organises a Transition to School conference with local primary school teachers to give parents insight into what children need to get ready for ‘big’ school.

Butterflies ELC arranges one-on-one meetings with parents to keep them up to date on their child’s progress and set learning goals, all with the intention of preparing children for a successful school transitioning process. 

Tuesday and Wednesday: Mandarin language program 

Butterflies ELC currently offers a Mandarin program as an extra language curriculum. This is delivered via small group experiences. Children will have opportunities to learn another language whilst playing, reading books, singing songs and doing actions, recognising Chinese charactors and practice writing whilst enjoying small group interactions with the educator. 

Toddlers

There are four concepts that define all types of physical learning through the GrowFit program: body, effort, space, and relationship with an object. Children learn in a positive environment and learn that mistakes are all a part of the process. Once competence is achieved, skills can be more refined and developed.
