A Trusted Partner for Your Family
Family-Owned, Community-Focused
Butterflies Childcare is more than just a childcare centre; we are a family-owned establishment deeply rooted in the Doreen community.

Our commitment to being a trusted partner for families means we work closely with you to support your child's early learning journey.
Our Centres
Two Great Locations, One Community
Both our Orchard Road and Mulwala Drive centres uphold the same commitment to high-quality education and nurturing care. Explore the unique facilities and programs offered at your preferred location. We can't wait to welcome you.
ORCHARD ROAD
This elegant and welcoming center marks the origin of our organization, established in 2011. We inaugurated our flagship center and commenced welcoming families from the community—some of whom are now entrusting us with the care of their third or fourth child across these many years.
Having recently undergone renovations, featuring beautiful wood flooring and a fresh repaint, one would not discern that this facility precedes our Mulwala Drive center by 12 years.
MULWALA DRIVE
Due to an ever-expanding community and the rapid occupancy of our Orchard Road centre, we made the decision to establish a second centre, conveniently situated within the Doreen Business Hub.
While boasting its own distinctive character and contemporary design, this accessible location maintains our core philosophy and remains under the management of the same family.
Flexible Care Options
We understand the demands of modern family life, which is why we offer flexible care solutions tailored to your needs. From sick day swaps to casual bookings, our services are designed to accommodate your schedule.
Sick Day Swaps
Illness can occur unexpectedly, but we are prepared to assist. Should your child be unwell and unable to attend, we will endeavour to offer an alternate day so they do not miss out, and you have one less concern.
Casual Bookings
Unexpected life events occur, and in such instances, we are available to provide support. Our casual booking option allows you to request additional childcare days as necessary. While availability cannot be guaranteed, we are committed to making every effort to accommodate your child and ensure your day proceeds without disruption.
Funded Early Learning Program
This government-funded early learning program provides high-quality education and care, which prepares your child for subsequent academic achievement while alleviating the financial pressure on families.
Community-Centric Approach
It is a commonly held belief that "It takes a village to raise a child." As a family-owned center, we are committed not only to fostering robust relationships with our families but also to integrating them into the broader community to support each child's comprehensive growth and development.
From school readiness programs to access to speech and occupational therapists, we endeavor to connect the resources that contribute to a child's safe, nurturing, and opportunity-rich environment.

What Our Families Say
“We have had such an incredible experience at Butterflies over the years. The entire team is exceptional — so caring, supportive, and always going above and beyond for the children. Our little ones have absolutely loved their time here and have grown so much thanks to the nurturing environment and thoughtful programming.
The staff are not only kind and incredible but also very accommodating. As a busy parent with sometimes unpredictable schedules, they have always been flexible and understanding, even with my last-minute bookings! The sense of community they foster is truly special, and we’ve always felt like part of the Butterflies family.
I can’t recommend Butterflies enough. Thank you for making our time here so wonderful and for all the love
and care you've given to our little ones!”
“After checking out multiple childcare centres around the area I couldn’t look past Butterflies. We’ve been with them for over a year now and their care and service is outstanding. Both my kids are always happy to attend, their needs catered for and they always provide open communication. Highly recommend Butterflies childcare”
“I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to write a review now that we are unfortunately leaving the centre due to moving houses.
Butterflies is the BEST childcare that my kids have attended. We are so sad to be leaving and only hope their next childcare is as good as this one.
All the staff are so lovely to the kids and really care about them. They communicate about the day at every
pick up and at the end of every day I receive a group email with pictures of what the kids got up to in their room. I highly recommend this centre for anyone looking for a centre for their kids.
Thank you to all the staff that looked after Brooks and Emilie. I will always have the fondest memories.”
“I cannot fault the centre one bit. My son absolutely loves all the educators and loves being there. He has learnt so much from being at the centre. I couldn't imagine taking him anywhere else. The educators are all fabulous, they update us every day on Storypark and in person. The girls in the office are fabulous and a breeze to work with. all calls and emails are always responded to in a timely and friendly matter. I couldn't recommend highly enough.”
“My child has only been there for 2 months . He is absolutely loving the centre and is super engaged in all the wonderful experiences the educators have provided for him. Management is super helpful and very kind and always greets me and my family with open arms and a smile on their face. The educators are amazing and have a high level of supervision and are warm and nurturing. They have a high level of communication with me and I feel at easy leaving my child at butterflies childcare. I would highly recommend.”
“Butterflies is an amazing childcare centre. My one child attended since toddlers right through to the kinder
program and other one is in the kinder. A very warm and welcoming centre and the staff are second to none. Highly recommended.”
“Amazing Childcare and Early Learning Service. My 2 children attended and excelled while at the service. Caring and nurturing educators who really care about the children. I couldn't recommend Butterflies more highly!”
