At our childcare in Craigieburn, our philosophy focuses on the discovery and exploration of respectful relationships with children. We follow child-led and play-based learning approaches, where we offer children uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention. Our child-led learning programs provide exciting opportunities and challenges for children to play and develop while we nurture their individuality, helping each child to move at their own pace, in their own way.

Our architecturally designed indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to facilitate creativity, imagination and discovery through play-based learning.

Service Manager

Hello, my name is Alicia Conti and I am the Service Manager of Busy Bees at Craigieburn.

I have been working in the childcare sector for 12 years and have been at Busy Bees at Craigieburn since December 2018. I hold a diploma in early childhood education, and I am continuously learning and upskilling various personal developments that are related to children’s services.

I strongly believe that each child develops their own unique knowledge, culture, beliefs, learning styles and values when given the right tools to help them succeed. I thrive in building strong relationships with families, educators, and children — I love to know the children are in a safe, secure, and supported environment.

At Busy Bees at Craigieburn, we believe our care, quality, service, and value are at the highest standards. We are building on our community with connections to our local fire, police, library, and local businesses. We also love our families to come in and do an array of engaging activities with the children.

I look forward to getting to know your family.

I have been with the service for around 4 years and in the industry for 16 years I have never worked for a service that puts so much time and effort into the children and families. How well they support and care for their staff is amazing.

I send both my 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter — they both enjoy attending this service. The educators have great, patience and are caring. They have helped my children achieve their early academic and social goals.

My daughter is 1.5 years old and it was her first time attending a long day care service. We have felt welcomed and at home since the first time we walked through the doors. My daughter loves going to day care and the caregivers and managers are all so amazing.
