School readiness activities are provided each day your child attends. Although our centre name does not include the word “Preschool”, our program still includes Preschool activities. Our Educators all hold a recognised Early Childhood qualification. If you thought that you needed to send your child to a preschool the year before school, there is no need as our service will support and guide your child’s transition to kindergarten. We believe that school readiness starts right from your child’s first day at Bees Nees.

If you do come unannounced, we may need to ask you to return at another time.
