At Endeavour Early Education we believe that each child needs a solid foundation for school and should be entitled to a child care education program. Through our “Endeavour Academy” program, we combine the Early Years Learning Framework with our extensive understanding of how children develop and learn. We work with families to set goals so that we can deliver the best early childhood development outcomes for their children. Our aim is to ensure that all our children are prepared as they begin their school journey.

Learning Framework
With more than 12 years of formal schooling ahead, your child’s transition will be easier having had access to our high quality prep program. Our early childhood development program incorporates not only literacy and mathematical learning, but also physical and creative education. Your child will develop their social and emotional skills as well as build their confidence and self-help skills (such as using a lunch box). In addition, our children are also provided access to our language, sports and music therapy programs.
