About Our Centre:
The Educators and Committee of Endeavour Child Care welcome you to our Centre.
​
We provide care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years with a maximum of 55 children per day.
Our aim is to provide quality of care for all children. We offer them a safe and engaging environment and a place where they feel empower and nurtured to grow.
​
The team is guided by our service director, educational leader and supported by a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education Teacher who uphold the highest quality standards in educating little minds. Our staff are fully first aid certified and are either working towards their qualification or hold a Certificate III or higher in Early Childhood Education and Care.​
