Welcome to Mama Bear Child Care Centre. " We believe as in God’s eyes, all children are to be loved and cared for as equals… "

We were very excited about the opening of our second centre in January 2009. Mama Bear Child Care Centre is a Christian Centre where we strive to create a safe, warm and healthy homely environment for the personal care and education of your children. Our qualified team of professional staff are caring individuals who believe in the Centre’s philosophy and the importance of high level personal teacher interactions.

What has made Barfa Bear special, is that we really are there to care for and educate your child. Your children’s well-being is our priority, and the attachments we have made with our families and children in the past is a culture we call our own – we are all part of the “BearFamily”. Mama Bear Child Care Centre has continued that culture; its personalised service and care for your child is our main concern, after all, we are family!


Whilst our Early Childhood and Pre-school Learning Programs are the same as those of Barfa Bear, working under the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), encompassing all areas of development; Physical, Cognitive, Language, Social & Emotional; we also have a special learning program for our precious Bubba Cubs, because we believe in an early start to learning and stimulating through play. 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:

Bubba Cubs Playroom (0-2yrs)      Teddy & Cubby Bears (2-4yrs)      Pre-School Cubs (4-5yrs)

As part of our Early Learning Program, you will receive a Mid-Year Developmental Report, followed by a personal one-on-one parent/teacher meeting. An Annual Journal is compiled with your child’s observations, photos & crafts throughout their year at Mama Bear. It is a lovely reflection on your child’s progress, interests & abilities, for you to treasure and share in the future.

Mama 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 (2yrs to 5yrs)
• $80 (0yrs to 2yrs)
• Initial Registration - $100 (incl. personal pack)
• Enrol 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 childcare is a difficult transition - not just for your child, but for you. We strongly encourage & welcome you to spend time with your child at the centre before they start. This will help you & your child feel more comfortable about Mama Bear Child Care Centre, the environment/equipment, the staff & routines. Our Orientation Program at Mama 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 they will be well cared for.
