Bambini's Child Care Centre

At Bambini’s, we believe toddlers learn best when they do, play, and giggle along the way!
What better way to explore water safety than by taking the learning experience from the classroom down to Bondi Surf Club for a Saturday morning adventure.
With families joining in, our little ones learned through real-life, hands-on fun—creating memories and life lessons that stick.
We don’t just talk about it—we live it!

Big thanks to the amazing crew at Bondi Surf Club and to Laurie Lawrence Swim School for supporting our water safety adventure with the wonderful Wise Owl books!

The winners of the 2024 Little Scientists Awards have been announced, with Little Scientists’ Project Director Emma McGarrity saying the quality of nominations this year was “exceptional.” It’s strong evidence of the genuine interest of the work your educator team at Bambini’s are doing and early STEM education more broadly.

“Nominations came in from nearly every corner of the country” she shared.
“Early STEM education is critical for young children’s development. When children are exposed to rich STEM learning experiences from infancy, they develop stronger STEM skills, like critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity, and have improved education outcomes well into high school,” Ms McGarrity added.

When a child asks what it's like to attend the ballet, we spring into action! With props, lights, and scenery ready, the only thing missing was a real ballerina. Naturally, we invited one in—after all, this is Bambini's! A big thank you to Amy from 'A Tutu Tale' for making this incredible learning experience unforgettable for the children.
