Butterflies is a stand-alone private owned long day care service. We were established in 2009, and has a placement of 68. Our last National Quality Rating was Exceeding, and we are proud of our team culture-inclusive, multicultural, supportive and close relationship among staff, children and families.
Because we are the only centre owned by the approved provider, it pulls us closer to our families, and our response to families request is quicker. We are also very proud of our value-"We're family, for families." As we believe most of our employees who work full-time or most time of the week spend more time with their colleagues and children than their own families, therefore, our employees are treated as family. They are respected and their voice are heard.
Part of our philosophy is:
"Values and morals drive our practice. An allegiance to fairness, honesty and respect is a cornerstone of our work. It is our passion for children to succeed and thrive which fuels our commitment to early years education and ensures that our time with children matters. Our place is a memory palace and our devotion to quality is unwavering.
When one succeeds we all succeed. A commitment to working as a team and dedication to our work ensures that we succeed. We strive to provide the highest quality of education and care by investing in the highest quality of educators. Educators who never give up, educators who are united, and educators who value the diversity evident across our team. Our people are our greatest asset."
We work with our local community and other training organizations to support our trainees to complete their study whilst working as an employee. We have supported many trainees and students for a successful career, whom always serve us for many years after their study too.

At Butterflies we believe everyone is some kind of a leader in the service. We strongly believe that if our employee is willing to take ownership in their room, they will be rewarded by their feedback from the families, colleagues and children! We are looking at providing our permanent staff a performance review and a possible salary review each year depending on the Business growth. At the same time, we are always keen to offer opportunities to assign more responsibilities to a great candidate.
Our leadership team work closely together and aim to support all our staff from casuals to permanent, students to trainees to provide them a comprehensive learning experience whilst taking their next challenge as they grow.
A permanent staff will get a 10% superannuation remuneration, 4 weeks annual leave and 10 days sick leave each year. We also offer flexible shifts such as 4 days long hours or 5 days per week depending on inidividual's needs and a balance of the service's operational benefit.
