About Sparrow Early Learning Bunyip

At Sparrow Early Learning Bunyip, we create a safe and friendly atmosphere where children are welcomed as individuals and feel a sense of belonging. Here, we strive to establish trusting and respectful relationships through the inclusion of cultural diversity and acceptance. Read more.

Families are encouraged to be involved with all aspects of our service including policy review, menus and children’s learning through Storypark.

Inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our educators provide a holistic, play-based curriculum with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. We celebrate each child as unique and our dedicated educators focus programming on meeting the individual needs and interests of each child.

Indoor learning spaces feel just like home and are filled with materials and resources that come straight from nature and everyday life. Activities are largely open-ended to allow children to follow their interests, use their imagination and stimulate social interactions with their peers and educators.

Engaging outdoor spaces provide further opportunities for imaginative and collaborative play, with children enjoying the unstructured open green spaces, quiet shady areas, sandpits and climbing equipment.

We look forward to showing you around our service!

Service Manager at Sparrow Early Learning Bunyip

I am the service manager at Sparrow Early Learning Centre Bunyip.

With over 12 years of holding a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge and a deep passion for children’s learning. While I’m new to the Service Manager role, I’ve been part of leadership teams for several years and am excited to support the children, families, and Sparrow team on this new journey. Read more.

As a parent myself, I value strong connections with families and strive to create inclusive, nurturing environments. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors—camping, going for bush walks, and enjoying the beach with family and friends.

Enrolment process

Our childcare centre in Bunyip promotes an open-door policy where families can visit and walk through the centre at any time during operational hours.

Once families have completed a tour, they will receive an enrolment pack with all necessary paperwork.

Once enrolled, the orientation process begins. The orientation process is an arrangement made between families and staff that supports the family’s needs.

Accessing the Childcare Subsidy

We understand that access to the Government Childcare Subsidy is an important consideration when choosing a childcare centre. Learn more about eligibility, how to access the subsidy and how Sparrow works with your family to ensure a smooth transition into early learning childcare.
