Established in 2011, Marli Marli Daycare is a boutique childcare centre based in North Bondi, which specialises in the care and education of children aged 2-5 years. Marli Marli takes its name from the Aboriginal word for butterfly, the symbol of freedom, joy, change and colour, which also underpins our centre’s philosophy on early childhood education. We believe children should be free to explore, play, grow and develop in a fun, vibrant environment where they feel happy, safe, loved and nurtured, but which also provides them with the structure they need to prepare for school and beyond. Our educators are all highly qualified and passionate about providing high quality care, through best quality educational program. To that end, our centre accepts no more than 10 children per day, to ensure each child feels safe and secure, and receives the best possible care and attention from our educators. Our program
Research has consistently shown that the hands-on experience of playing and socialising with other children is vital to every child’s learning and development. And so, through careful planning and observation, Marli Marli has created a learning program and environment that is founded on providing children with meaningful learning experiences through play, while also adhering to the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia. By also drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach, our program provides your child with rich and rewarding experiences in an environment that is exciting, engaging and encourages them to learn at their own pace. In addition to making sure your child feels nurtured and supported as they navigate their way through the education journey, we also like to make sure our parents and families feel supported too, by encouraging them to take an active part in their child’s early learning experience. We believe that childcare should be more than just child minding. It should be a rich and rewarding experience for both parent and child, at the heart of which is clear and open lines of communication between educators and families. At Marli Marli, our educators are always on hand to share their knowledge and expertise with you, and provide you with any feedback on how your child is progressing in their learning and development.
