Welcome to Mother Duck Child Care and Pre-School - Bellbowrie

Welcome to Mother Duck Bellbowrie

Children are resourceful and inquisitive, and our Bellbowrie child care centre is designed to encourage exploration. Children are encouraged to use open-ended resources to create and express themselves. Our community of learners works together to make new discoveries, supported by experienced educators to make sense of the world around them. Our educators really get to know your child and will be sure to share with you the precious moments that happen every day.

We know that the first five years shape your child’s development and learning for life. That’s why our daily programs are thoughtfully designed for intellectual, emotional, social and physical wellbeing and development. Curiosity, creativity and exploration are encouraged in a safe and supportive environment.

This strong foundation helps foster a lifelong love of learning.

What the parents say Centre philosophy About the curriculum Meet the team

What the parents say

From the first moment I walked into Mother Duck Bellbowrie, I loved the welcoming and nurturing feeling the centre gave me. Both my children love the incredible staff and the whole team.

Jeshiela - parent

The staff are so attentive to my children’s needs and their learning. My children are so happy at pick up and always coming home with new songs or information they have learnt. We love it there!

Kellie - parent

The team at Mother Duck always make me feel like my child is safe, loved and part of a wonderful diverse family. There is nothing more satisfying than dropping your child off and watching them run off into open arms of smiling educators.

The Davis Family

About the curriculum

In the infant studio, the educators follow a flexible schedule that is responsive to the needs of the individual child. Parents are encouraged to share their home routine with the educators, as they understand how important routine can be to children of this age.

Educators work to form a secure attachment with the children, as well as building relationships with the families. Parents receive a daily log from the educators which covers their child’s feeding, sleeping and toileting patterns.

The focus for the children is on those basic first skills such as sitting, crawling and walking. Educators seek to develop language skills of the children with conversation, singing and reading.

Meet the team

At Mother Duck Bellbowrie, the focus of the educators is on reflective practice to ensure they understand all they can about children and their development; finding new and innovative ways to solve problems, engage in challenging tasks, and using information technology and print-based texts to find things out; giving children the gift of time to listen to their ideas and incorporate these into the curriculum; sustainable practices to teach the children how to be a valuable member of society; and teaching children skills beyond academics such as compassion, collaboration, empathy, kindness, grace and honesty.

The centre has long-serving, dedicated educators, some of whom have been at the centre for over 15 years. There are a number of bilingual educators who speak a variety of languages including Spanish, Korean, Turkish and Persian

My favourite part of my day is walking into the studios to spend time with our amazing children and educators. After 20 years of being an Early Childhood Teacher, I still love getting to know each child and their family and building relationships that last long after the children have grown up and moved onto school.

I am so lucky to be able to watch the children grow and discover new skills and ideas that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. I truly have the best job in the world!

Miss Cathy - Centre Director/Franchisee, Mother Duck Bellbowrie

Working for Mother Duck is not just a job - it is a career where I am inspired, encouraged, and supported to be the best Educator I can be. To enrich the lives of the children we care for and witness their inquisitive nature, resourceful attitude, and love for learning is such an honour and privilege.

Miss Zoe - Educator

I love working at Mother Duck as I get to help the children grow and flourish whilst in our care. It is a privilege to be a part of the children’s vital first years of life. Here at our Mother Duck we all work together like a family and it is amazing to know that you have made a difference in someone’s life every single day.
