Childcare and kindergarten in Beeliar, WA

Buggles Beeliar offers long day care and a kindergarten program for children aged 6 weeks to school age, conveniently located for families in Beeliar, Yangebup and Success.

Vibrant outdoor environments

Children can explore a vibrant outdoor environment featuring a bike track, climbing forts, a construction sandpit, a gated vegetable garden, a picnic table and a gazebo. These spaces give children room to ride, climb, dig, build and enjoy active outdoor play every day.

Five dedicated indoor learning rooms

Indoors, five differently designed rooms each cater to a specific age group, with natural resources available across every space. The rooms give children opportunities for play-based learning, creative experiences and quieter moments suited to their age and stage throughout the day.

Experienced educator team

Buggles Beeliar has a dedicated team of experienced educators who build consistent relationships with children and families. A Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher leads the kindergarten program, with the wider team focused on each child’s individual development across every room.

Individual Learning Plans

Individual Learning Plans are developed in partnership with families and used to guide learning around each child’s strengths, interests and goals. Educators draw on these plans to shape experiences that suit each child’s needs and stage of development.

Kindergarten and school readiness program

Our Kindergarten and school readiness program is delivered by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher and prepares children for the transition to school. Children build skills and confidence through play-based learning, routines, friendships and growing independence.

Nature walks and Happy Feet program

Children enjoy nature walks to the nearby lake, giving them regular opportunities to explore the natural environment beyond the centre. Every Friday, toddlers and kinder children take part in the Happy Feet program, with music, dancing and themed activities throughout the session.

Nutritious meals each day

Meals are freshly prepared each day by our on-site chef, with a rotating seasonal menu covering breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. Dietary, cultural and individual requirements are all catered for. Children also take part in Healthy Master Chef days, including a trip to the local IGA to choose ingredients and explore healthy eating.

Daily family app updates

Families can stay connected through our family app, with photos and updates about routines and learning experiences from the day. It gives families a simple way to follow what their child has been up to.

"Every child is unique, and meaningful learning happens when educators take the time to understand each child’s interests, strengths, and needs."

I began working in early childhood education in 2012, starting my studies in England before moving to Australia in 2016, where I continued my training and now call home. I joined Buggles Beeliar in 2022 and have developed a strong understanding of the local community, families, and children we support.

I was drawn to this profession because of the powerful impact the early years have on a child’s lifelong learning, confidence, and sense of self. Every child is unique, and meaningful learning happens when educators take the time to understand each child’s interests, strengths, and needs. This belief guides my child-centred, responsive, and relationship-based approach, with a strong focus on play-based learning and creating environments where children feel confident to explore, take risks, and learn at their own pace.

When speaking with families, I explain that early learning centres complement the important learning that happens at home by offering rich opportunities for social interaction, routine, and intentional teaching. Children benefit from learning alongside peers, engaging in thoughtfully planned play-based experiences, and being supported by qualified educators, all of which help build communication skills, confidence, emotional regulation, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a smooth transition to school.

I am proud to lead a team of dedicated, passionate educators who genuinely care about children and families. We value teamwork, open communication, and reflective practice, supporting one another to continually grow and improve. By working collaboratively, we create a warm, consistent, and high-quality learning environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Building strong, respectful partnerships with families is a priority for me. I believe open and honest communication is key, and I take the time to listen to families, understand their goals, and support them throughout their child’s early learning journey. By being approachable, transparent, and consistent, I aim to create trusting relationships where families feel valued, supported, and confident in the care their child receives.

Our innovative early learning programs

Sustainability

Children develop respect for the environment through gardening, recycling and nature-based learning. Educators also introduce the interconnected aspects of sustainability, including environmental, social and economic, through concepts like fairness, sharing and community.

Social and emotional learning

Children develop a strong sense of identity as they feel safe, secure and supported, building confidence, resilience and a positive sense of self. Through group activities, conversations and play, children learn to interact with others with care, empathy and respect, building positive relationships and friendships.

Music and movement

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood.

STEM

Educators introduce open-ended materials and invitations to explore, such as building, measuring and experimenting. Through shared conversations and investigation, children develop curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

See more I highly recommend Buggles Child Care in Beeliar! My grandson attended there until he turned 6 and started full-time school, and the foundation he got from their programs made the transition so smooth—he’s confident, curious, and ahead in his learning. Now, my granddaughter is still in their kindy program, and she’s absolutely thriving; the caring staff and engaging activities have helped her blossom socially and creatively. The team is wonderful, the facilities are safe and stimulating, and it’s been a fantastic experience for our family. 5 stars! From us

A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.

On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.

First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.

To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.

Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.

Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.

Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.

When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Learn more about our Settling-in Program.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

Buggles uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Buggles is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.

We look forward to welcoming your family.
