Our story
We are sisters, Leah and Kathleen, and together we share a deep passion for Early Childhood Care and Education. For many years, our dream was to create a childcare centre that reflected our values – a nurturing, authentic, community-oriented, sustainable, and earthy environment where children could truly thrive.
On June 12th, 2018, we took ownership of our little centre, and this is where our dream began to take shape. With the incredible support of our dedicated educators, our wonderful families, and our wider community, Bundilla has grown into a space we're proud of – one that continues to evolve with our knowledge, passion, and purpose.
Leah has over 15 years of experience in Early Childhood Education and leads Bundilla as Centre Director and ECT. She and her husband are proud parents to three beautiful children – Mannix (7), Esse (6), and Sonny (16 months).
Kathleen brings a strong background in administration and plays a vital role in managing the operations of Bundilla, while also supporting Leah and the team. She is a devoted mum to Angelique (18), Chantelle (16), and Patrick (13), whom she shares with her husband.
At Bundilla, our journey is always growing, just like the children we care for.
