Gummibears Childcare Centre Balcatta

Gummibears Childcare and Early Learning Centre is a family owned and operated centre which has been part of the community for over 20 years inspiring children to learn and grow through play. We (Kym and Grant) purchased the centre in 2007 and our aim is to provide your child a learning environment that is welcoming and homely. Our own 3 children were raised in childcare so we understand the importance of the relationship between a centre and your family. We aren't just a name on a letterhead with the office based elsewhere, we are here in WA and have a hands on approach with an open door policy. We understand how busy you are running a family- working - studying and enjoying life so you don't have to wait days or send an email to get an answer for those important questions you may have, our Centre Director has the autonomy to make decisions and respond quickly to your requests. 

Continuous improvement is a high priority for both us and our Educators. We are always open to new ideas and feedback from families to ensure that we can constantly grow. Our Educators regularly attend training programs to upskill and gain extended knowledge about current childcare practices which we can implement at the centre.  We hold parent nights on a regular basis to encourage parent networking in a relaxed forum outside of the busy pickup drop off times. 

We are committed to giving every child entrusted to our care the very best in early childhood education by providing a stimulating, innovative and caring environment which fosters a child’s natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. We believe that all children are creative, full of potential and learn naturally through play. Children learn best when they are relaxed and included, knowing they can touch, play and make a mess. We cater to all children and adapt to their style of play and interests by offering a mixture of play areas. From the natural areas using wood and stone to the conventional colourful cubby house. 

For many children, this will be their first experience away from family and others known to them, so it is our priority that your child feels safe, secure and content in their new environment. To ensure that the transition from your home to the centre is as smooth as possible, we believe it is necessary for all of us to work together so that your child’s learning journey is exciting and full of new experiences.

Thank you to our fantastic Educators for their dedication and commitment to Gummibears and to all of our lovely families both past and present who have supported us over the years.
