Buttercups Childcare and Kindergarten Aberdeen Street

About us
Building Brighter Futures is not just a ‘catch phrase’.
It is our passion and total commitment to providing a warm, friendly home environment to ensure your child has the best possible start in life.

We are a family owned independent childcare service, with a focus and passion based on education, wellbeing and care of your child.

Our fully trained dedicated staff always have the time to smile and energy to interact with your child while delivering the core parts of the Early Learning Framework through education, communication, fun and play.

Philosophy
We are committed with a passion to promoting the development of creativity, individuality and self-confidence through play and learning, whilst delivering the highest standards of child care in a safe, warm and welcoming environment.

We believe each child is an individual, with unique abilities and teach our children to learn through play, shared interests and meaningful interactions with each other.

We provide a rich play based experience to support children’s learning and cater for each individual child’s development in the areas of physical, social, emotional, cognitive, creative and moral growth.

We believe in a key person approach to enable our children and parents to develop close relationships with all of our staff and educators and actively encourage parents to help and volunteer in our classes.

We are passionate and believe that all children should be treated equally, and each child’s social and cultural background will be acknowledged and respected and using this we teach how the roles of all people mix and help in a multi-cultural society and local community.

We believe strongly that good nutrition is the bedrock of lifelong health and we encourage healthy eating to stabilise children’s energies, sharpen their minds, even out their moods and shape their appreciation that a healthy diet is paramount to their wellbeing through life.

At Buttercups we take the time to get to know you and understand your child. We recognise every child has different learning development abilities, to accommodate these individualities we develop a program specific to each child attending Buttercups.

We want to get to know you and hear about your family interests, events, birthdays, cultures and hobbies. At Buttercups we encourage open communication between parents, carers and staff.

Positive communication with parents and carers, helps us to provide a nurturing and caring environment for your child. Your child will grow, be valued, rewarded with their efforts and contributions recognised no matter how small.
