Inspiring young minds
“Our image of the child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent and most of all, connected to adults and other children.” Loris Malaguzzi
At Bambini of Lilyfield, we strive to live this day by day. We are passionate about inspiring young minds. It is deeply ingrained in everything we do.
Our philosophy is to provide an innovative and nurturing early learning environment that is academically excellent, developmentally responsive and socially equitable.
Our Bambini Curriculum
We believe learning is more than academic preparation. We are firm believers that play invites learning… and play-based learning has transformed our children for the last 14 years.
We provide an early learning curriculum that is rich in the key learning areas of mathematics, literacy, science, music and creative arts and also supports your child’s language, cognitive, physical, social, emotional and creative development.
Every child is unique and so is every program or goal we offer. Across our Babies, Toddlers, Preschool and Pre-kindergarten rooms, we use our Bambini Curriculum to unpack your child’s unique learning goals and implement these four foundations:
- AQ: Adaptability and Resilience
- EQ: Emotional Wellbeing
- IQ: School Readiness
- SQ: Social and Community
Tailored and unique early learning development

We’re passionate about providing unique, innovative, engaging and flexible programs that cater to your child’s interests, strengths and personality regardless of their stage in life.
We’re better together
