Meet us
Hello, we are Catherine and Steve, the proud owners of Bumblebees and Buttercups Childcare and Learning Centre.
We live in the Waikato and have four beautiful children. We started our childcare journey early in 2017 when we recognised the need for a Centre in the small community we live in. It felt like a natural fit for us and lined up with our family values and community focus. Steve was born in Morrinsville, so it’s really exciting to be able to provide this high quality purpose built Centre in his home town.
We are really excited about being able to offer childcare and learning services because as working parents, we understand the difference a quality childcare can make in the lives of busy families. We are also excited about being able to offer not only a lovely indoor learning space but also lots of outdoor space in a beautiful setting as we believe there are so many learning opportunities outdoors.
Meet Bronwyn
I was brought up on a farm in Te Pahu, which sparked my lifelong love for the natural world. Before retraining in early childhood education, I completed a Bachelor of Science majoring in Zoology. My home life is busy , I share it with my husband, our three beautiful children, a Toyger cat, and a Japanese Spitz dog.
I have been working in early childhood for over 10 years, and I am passionate about leadership, mentoring, and being there wholeheartedly for our tamariki and whānau. My priority is ensuring everyone feels valued, heard, and supported, while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
In my spare time, you’ll find me hiking, or spending time at the gym keeping up with functional fitness. I am very excited to be joining the team as your new Centre Manager and I look forward to getting to know all of you.
