Butterflies Childcare & Early Learning Centre Orchard Road is a family-owned business that prides itself on providing high-quality education and care to families in the Doreen, Mernda, Yarrambat, Whittlesea, and Diamond Creek areas. Founded in November 2011, the centre offers a nurturing environment that aims to feel like a ‘second home’ for children and their families. With a strong focus on creating a sense of community and belonging, Butterflies Childcare & ELC Orchard Road has been a trusted childcare provider for over a decade.
The company directors, a husband and wife team along with their four children, envisioned a childcare and kindergarten that prioritizes excellence in education and care. Their commitment to upholding the organization’s philosophy is evident in the recent expansion with the opening of Butterflies Childcare & ELC Mulwala Drive in January 2021. This new location, owned and operated by the same family, ensures continuity for children and families, with experienced educators from Orchard Road transitioning to maintain the high standards set by the organization.
Butterflies Childcare & Early Learning Centre Orchard Road acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which it operates, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. With a deep respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, the centre values their connection to the land, water, and community. By honoring Elders past, present, and emerging, Butterflies Childcare & ELC Orchard Road embodies a commitment to inclusivity, cultural awareness, and providing a supportive learning environment for all children under its care.
