About Us
Burbank Bush Kindy is family-owned and operated by Eddie and Debbie, husband and wife with over a decade of experience as Early Childhood Educators.
''Our unique experiences and values are woven into every aspect of our childcare service. With four young daughters of our own, aged six and under, we truly understand the significance of these important years in creating healthy foundations for a happy, successful life.
At Burbank Bush Kindy, our philosophy of early childhood education is rooted in the belief that a child's wellbeing is top priority. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that supports the development of healthy habits from the very beginning.
Our mission is to empower children to explore the world around them, fostering a love for nature and instilling a sense of responsibility for the environment.
Our passion for the outdoors comes to life through our Bush Kindy program, which was inspired by our own experiences traveling around Australia in a campervan with our oldest daughter when she was just one years' old. This journey deepened our appreciation for nature and reinforced our commitment to providing children with hands-on learning experiences in the great outdoors. Adventure awaits just outside the door, and we encourage our little explorers to discover the miracles of the natural world every day.''
Debbie, who grew up in the natural surroundings of Byron Bay, adopted the holistic approach to early childhood education. With extensive knowledge in healing and mindfulness, she introduces a calming presence and a strong focus on emotional well-being. Debbie believes in the transformative power of being present and offers a mindfulness program for children that includes nature yoga and meditation, fostering a foundation of mindful practices from an early age. This program helps children develop essential life skills such as self-awareness, resilience, and emotional regulation, while also cultivating kindness, compassion, and a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
Eddie inspires a spirit of teamwork and physical health through his love of sports and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. With a strong background in athletics, he enjoys teaching children the fundamentals of teamwork and cooperation. His enthusiasm brightens each day, making sure that smiles and laughter fill the air, as he believes that happiness is key to a healthy lifestyle. This creates a welcoming environment where children can form friendships and build confidence through fun experiences.
''Together, our shared values create a holistic approach to childcare that prioritizes development, compassion, and a love for the environment. We are proud to provide a space where children can be themselves, create, and thrive while connecting with nature, building relationships, and discovering their passions.''
