Wonderful, caring day care. My daughter’s speech and social skills have improved so much thanks to you lot. The love, dedication and energy you put has reflected on how my daughter is set for Kindy next year. Once again, thank you for being the best daycare out there 🥰🥰

About Mama Bear Child Care Centre

Welcome to Mama Bear Childcare!

A Family owned and operated Christian Child Care Centre for infants from 0-5 years

We believe that all children are special, individual, precious gifts from God.

With the increasing demand of care for 0-2yr olds in the area, Con & Dora Savva opened Mama BearChildCare Centre in January 2009. Mama Bear is our first centre which caters for babies and is licensed for 40 children per day, between the ages of 0yrs-5yrs. We are open 7.30am-6pm approx. 50 weeks/year, closing at no charge to families over the Christmas/New Years period.

  • 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.

Mama Bear is an air-conditioned building with security intercom for parental access.

Maria and the team have provided the best experience for us from the first moment we contacted the centre. Our son has settled in perfectly to the Mama Bear family and that’s thanks to the high quality service and nurturing care from the team.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

All of the nutritious meals and snacks are prepared in house daily, following a menu approved by the NSW Department of Health’s Munch & Move program. As a Christian service, the centre celebrates festivities such as Easter and Christmas, and a Prayer of Grace is said before lunch.

The centre cooks prepare everything from scratch, such as chicken stock, fresh rich bolognese sauce, and the fruit and vegetable purees for the younger ones.  Children all bring in a piece of fruit or a vegetable to put in the basket in the foyer, to share with their friends as they learn to contribute to their community.

The children are all seated at the table with an educator and are encouraged to talk about their meal items. The children self-serve their meals, with the educators eating with the children to role-model healthy eating and manners.  The children are also then responsible for clearing their plates in preparation for compost and worm farms.

Some of the children’s favourite meals include shepherds pie, chickpea vegetable stew, chicken stir fry hokkien noodles, spinach and feta spanakopita and fish cakes with broccoli, cauliflower and sweet peas.

Morning

Evie is eleven months old and today is helping her educators plant some seedlings in the vegetable garden.

Lunch

Evie doesn’t need a nap today, so she is enjoying some quiet activities with her educators. She finds some puzzles and books that she wants to try out.

Afternoon

After lunch the children head outside for some fresh air and playtime. Evie and her friends have fun in the sandpit, making pretend cakes in the muffin trays.

Our experience with Mamabear Daycare has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first day, we knew we had found the perfect place for our little one. The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, making every child feel like part of the family. The level of communication and transparency is outstanding, giving us peace of mind that our child is in the best hands. The environment at Mamabear is both nurturing and stimulating. The activities are thoughtfully planned, catering to the developmental needs of each child, and our little one has thrived in their care. We especially love how they emphasize learning through play, ensuring that each day is filled with fun, exploration, and new experiences. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Mamabear. It truly feels like a home away from home, and we are grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our child’s growth and happiness. Thank you, Mamabear, for all that you do!
