Welcome to Papa Bear Child Care Centre

Papa Bear Child Care Miranda is a family focused child care centre on Parraweena Road, Miranda. Children from eight weeks up to five years of age are cared for by passionate, long-term educators. The multicultural background of the educators allows for cultural experiences for the children. This Christian centre places a great value on connections with the families in their care, and offers a home-like environment for children.

The large outdoor play areas offer play equipment, cubby house, large sandpit and nature garden. Inside, the centre enjoys plenty of natural light, and the older children take part in interactive workshops, regular excursions on the centre’s own bus, and lots of free play time.

Open from 7.00 am - 6.00 pm, the centre offers easy access to Port Hacking Road for commuting parents, and is just minutes away from Caringbah and Miranda train stations. It has been operating since 2014.

  • Bear ChildCare Bus Excursions: the centre has its very own excursion bus that improves learning opportunities for the older children by taking them on excursions to stimulate their creative minds. Excursions include visiting a local aged care facility, local parks, Bunnings, the library or supermarket. The children love using the centre’s bus to explore further afield.
  • Sustainability program: includes activities such as gardening, worm farms, compost bins, recycling, Return & Earn program and major recycling projects.
  • Incursions: children enjoy experiences such as chicken hatching, reptile shows, and Indigenous presentations.
  • Cooking experiences: the children help with meal prep, collecting ingredients from the veggie garden, and enjoying demonstrations from the centre cook. 
  • School readiness program: preparing children for formal education, working closely with families and local schools.
  • Munch & Move program: focuses on fresh, nutritious food for the children, as well as an outdoor physical developmental program.

What the parents say

This place is an absolute gem! My kids have the best time at Papa Bear Child Care. So many memories: interactive mini zoo, climbing into a fire truck, military combat day, hatching chickens, African drums, yoga, foreign language classes, trip to a restaurant and Sea Life. The list goes on!

Nadia - Parent

The Papa Bear philosophy is inclusive, rich in early childhood and developmental understanding and provides parents with a positive and coherent overview of your core values.

My husband and I were particularly drawn to the fostering of the Christian Ethos in daily interactions and routines at Papa Bear.  We see this in the carer's interactions with the children, and through the compassion and care they show towards our child.

We believe strong communication and respectful partnerships between educators and parents has been key to or son's positive start at your centre.
