Welcome to Barfa Bear Child Care Centre.  " We believe that all children are special , individual , precious gifts from God "

Opened in January 2006, Bear Child Care strives to create a safe, warm and healthy homely environment for the personal care and education of your children. Our qualified teams of professional and dedicated staff members are caring individuals who believe in the 'Bear Child Care' philosophy and the importance of higher level personal teacher interactions. They will encourage your child to develop vital developmental skills by offering fun, creative,
exciting and challenging opportunities and activities.

Our Early Childhood and Pre-school Learning Programs are the same as those of Mama Bear, working under the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), encompassing all areas of development; Physical, Cognitive, Language, Social & Emotional. All our programs are designed to help your child develop confidence and social skills, and prepare them for their future education in Secondary School. They will encourage your child to develop vital developmental skills by offering fun, creative, exciting and challenging opportunities and activities. Our three playrooms will cater for each age group:

▪ Teddy Bears: 2yrs to 3yrs     ▪ Cubby Bears: 3yrs to 4yrs     ▪ Pre-School Cubs: 4yrs to 5yrs

As part of our Early Learning Program, your will receive a mid-year developmental report. An Annual Journal is compiled with your child’s observations & crafts throughout their year at Barfa Bear. It is a lovely reflection on your child’s progress, interests & abilities, for you to treasure and share in the future. Barfa Bear Child Care Centre is open from 7.30am – 6.00pm, Monday to Friday, approx. 50 weeks per year. The Centre is closed on Public Holidays and over the Christmas/New Years period. Morning & Afternoon Tea and a nutritious hot Lunch according to our Healthy Eating Menu, are prepared fresh daily on the premises. The only thing you’ll need to bring each day is your child’s bag with change of clothes, a piece of fruit for our Fruit Bowl (plus 3 nappies should your child not be toilet-trained) – and of-course, any special item your child feels necessary to keep with them for sleep time

Fees are due two weeks in advance at all times, and payments are made through our Child Care EasyPay direct-debit system. Failure to comply will result in a review of your child’s position. A 2-week bond is payable upon enrolment & refundable only after your child commences their enrolment, with all fees paid to date and a withdrawal notice period of 4 weeks is given. Effective July 2011, fees are:


• Daily - $70
• Enrol Registration - $100 (incl. personal pack)
• Annual Registration - $50
• Late Pick up - $10 per 5 minutes


To claim your Child Care Benefit, call Centrelink-136150. We recommend this is done before your child commences, so we can calculate fees for your child’s placement and can advise you of your exact daily rate.

Parents, we recognize that starting child care is a difficult transition - not just for your child, but for you. We strongly encourage and welcome you to spend time with your child at the centre before they officially start. This will help you and your child feel more comfortable about Barfa Bear Child Care Centre, the environment/equipment, the staff and routines. Our Orientation Program at Barfa Bear has successfully made this transition more comforting for you and your child – to give them the best start. You, the parents, are the most important people in your child’s world – we want you to feel assured when you leave your child with us that your child will be well cared for.
