Our Story

The program at Beamish was established in response to a recognized need to support parents in navigating an increasingly complex and unfamiliar childcare landscape. The process of selecting a childcare provider, entrusting others with the care of one’s child while managing the significant financial commitment, often presents a challenging balance. Despite extensive research and inquiry, families are frequently met with long waitlists and uncertainty regarding their child’s developmental path, prompting a need for more proactive and personalized solutions.

At Beamish Academy, we have developed a highly focused and inclusive learning environment that prioritizes the identification and understanding of each child’s unique characteristics. This approach enables us to deliver a complementary early learning and development program tailored to individual needs.

Through the programs offered at our centre, we aim to provide a distinctive and enriching experience for every family we serve.

Here at Beamish Academy, our mission is to positively impact the lives of children. We take pride in creating an inclusive environment for those we service and through the use of play based education, with a purpose. Play to Learn by creating and achieving specific goals that fit your child’s needs. Through our passion for helping others and advocating for equality and inclusion, at Beamish we are committed not only to the child but also to the families.

Why Choose Beamish

Early Intervention is important to build a strong foundation for each child. We scaffold each child’s learning through concepts which are embedded in behaviour therapy principles. Every child learns in a different way and at a different pace, early intervention has been clinically effective in helping children that might not follow the same developmental trajectory as their typically-developing peers (Zwaigenbaum et al., 2015). 

Together, we can help your child build the essential skills for a successful and fulfilling life
