Meet the Centre Manager – Ciara La Bianca

Welcome to Buggles Childcare Beldon, my name is Ciara and I am the proud Centre Manager of this service. I have been in the Early Education Sector for 10 years’ and through this time had many opportunities at all levels. I began my journey as an assistant educator and worked my way up to Centre Manager at an OSHC service and most recently Centre Manager of Buggles Beldon in 2016. I hold a Diploma of Children’s Services and a Diploma of Leadership and Management while also currently studying a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood.)

After being around young children throughout my childhood, I knew educating them would be one of the most rewarding careers you can find. Being that difference in a child’s life has been one of the biggest inspirations for me as I have formed some positive relationships with many children and families over the years.

As an educator to young children I am passionate about providing an opportunity for the children to learn through various different avenues of choice, focusing on their interests and abilities in a natural environment. Allowing the children to progress naturally and supporting them to become confident in their own abilities and gaining the much needed self-help and life skills required for the rest of their life.

As a mother myself I understand the value of a quality education and care service to be there for my children in the times that I cannot. I look forward to welcoming you to our service and providing the support you and your family need.

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” – Benjamin Franklin.

“I thank you for everything over the last few years and would highly recommend Buggles to anyone looking for Childcare. I will miss my association with Buggles and so will Holli. – you are amazing!”

• Belinda

“Buggles Beldon is a wonderful centre, all the staff are always friendly and do a fantastic job with the kids. I have looked round quite a few centres for my son and none came close to Buggles Beldon. They just keep re-affirming this to me every time he goes there, he settled in so well and this is due to the baby room staff, particularly Holly. She is so attentive with all the children and genuinely cares about them. My son gets excited going there and it really is helping him develop as a well-grounded and sociable little boy.”
