At Endeavour Early Education, we believe that each child is entitled to and needs a solid foundation for school. Through our “Endeavour Academy” program, we combine the Early Years Learning Framework with our extensive understanding of how children develop and learn, and work with families to set goals and achieve the best early childhood development outcomes for children as they begin their school journey.

In addition, our children are also provided access to our language, sports and music therapy programs.
