Busy Bees Noarlunga Downs has been awarded the Community Vote Achievement Award at the Child Friendly Business Awards 2023.

Presented by AnglicareSA Communities for Children Onkaparinga, the annual awards are part of an initiative that recognises businesses in the Onkaparinga area who create innovative, welcoming and supportive environments for children and their families.

Those businesses that create a sense of community belonging, promote the well-being of children and provide an important influence for childhood learning in the community are recognised in the awards.

“Our team was so excited to hear that a local family nominated us to receive an Achievement Award for our personal approach to supporting families and children within the community,” said Cassandra Yerasimou, Centre Director of Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs.

“We see ourselves as an extension of the families we care for. We are with them throughout their journey – whether it’s celebrating successes or supporting them through hardship. We believe that a strong relationship starts with great communication and we value feedback from our families, which helps us support them better. We take time in researching information for families regarding additional support, learning and development, volunteering guidelines, school intake and parenting support groups.”

The Awards were attended by Ms Yerasimou and her Assistant Director, Shaye Stephens.
