A note from our family
A family business, through and through
We started Billy-beet because we believe childcare works best when the people responsible for it stay close to it. We visit the rooms, we know the educators, and our centres carry our name. We are personally involved in each one, and we would not have it any other way.
Montessori felt like a natural fit for the same reason. It takes children seriously, from their growing independence to the quiet pride they feel when they do real things for themselves. We are proud to bring it to our communities, and prouder still of the people who deliver it every day.

Why families choose us
What makes Billy-beet different
Family owned, family run
Our name is on the door and we are in the centres often. When you have a question, you talk to someone who knows your centre well, and often that person is one of us.
Meet our familyThe Montessori difference
Children who pour their own drinks, pack their own bags and concentrate deeply. Most parents tell us they notice new independence at home within a few weeks.
How our approach worksTransparent fees
Most families pay far less than the advertised rate once CCS and Free Kinder apply. We will work out your real daily cost with you before you enrol.
