Barfa Bear Childcare Beverly Hills
Barfa Bear Childcare for children aged 2-5 years
FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED CHRISTIAN CHILD CARE CENTRE
We believe that all children are special, individual, precious gifts from god.
Con & Dora Savva always dreamed of opening a child care centre – and in January 2006, their dream finally came true with the opening of BarfaBearChild Care Centre.
Barfa Bear has a real warm home-like setting. From outside the building you would not think it was a child care centre, and that’s how we like it! Barfa Bear is licensed for 36 children per day, between the ages of 2yrs-5yrs. We are open 7.30am – 6.00pm approx. 50 weeks per year, closing at no charge to families over the Christmas/New Years period.
Barfa Bear is an air-conditioned building with security intercom for parental access.
Barfa Bear has worked very hard over many years to establish such strong and respectful relationships with our local feeder schools, to ensure our Pre-School Cubs receive the best preparation for their start at “Big School”. Our main feeder schools are Regina Coeli Catholic, McCallums Hill Public, Beverly Hills North Public, St Joseph’s Catholic and Clemton Park Public. Annually we hold School Readiness Information Evenings collectively with Barfa & Mama Bear, with our feeder school Principals and Kindergarten faculty teachers always happy to discuss the best preparation for your child, always with highly impressive feedback from these schools of how well our program exceeds expectations and in particular in comparison to other local child care centre programs.
On Monday, children enjoy FREE education Learning Incursion

Barfa Bear Has Two Playrooms.
1. Pre-School Cubs Playroom
A. This Playroom is for 4yrs – 5yrs – children who are preparing for Big School.
B. Most child care centres will combine the 3yrs – 5yrs. However, we have found from our experience that a Playroom specifically programmed for Pre-School Readiness, with children whom are appropriately aged, has proven highly successful in preparing our Pre-School Cubs for the reality of Big School.
C. There will be on average 2-3 BearTeam Educators for this Playroom, being 2 qualified Educators, plus one Playroom Assistant who will hold either a Children Services Cert III or be studying a Children Services Cert III Traineeship.
D. This Playroom will have a Playroom Leader who will supervise the operations of the Playroom environment and BearTeam, ensuring that the Playroom Daily Routine, and Policies & Procedures are adhered to, in addition to preparing their Weekly Interest-Based Program and Pre-School Readiness Program.
E. Each Educator has their own group of focus children, so they can program, reflect and prepare opportunities based on your child’s interests and developmental needs, and assist in the implementation of the Pre-School Readiness Program
F. Playroom equipment is interest based and age-appropriate for the 4yrs – 5yrs age group. This is another benefit of separating the older children, 4yrs – 5yrs from the younger groups so that they may be challenged at a higher level.
2. Teddy & Cubby Bears Playroom
~ This is a combined Playroom for 2yrs – 4yrs ages
i Teddy Bears are 2yrs – 3yrs
ii Cubby Bears are 3yrs – 4yrs

This Educator would be your first point of call regarding any specific queries you have concerning your child’s development, as they know your child best!
