One educator from baby to big school

Endeavour Hills is an established suburb with plenty of primary schools, and many families need care that covers more than one age. Family day care does exactly that. One educator can care for your baby or toddler during the day and your school-aged child before and after school, in the same home, with the same routines.

Groups are small: no more than seven children, with no more than four under school age. Children get to know each other like siblings, and you get to know the one person caring for them.

Our educators are registered with our approved family day care service, regulated under the National Quality Framework. Each holds at least a Certificate III in early childhood education, current first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis training, and a Working with Children Check, and every home is safety-checked and visited regularly by our coordinators.

Early starts and late finishes

With the Monash Freeway close by, many Endeavour Hills parents commute across Melbourne. Our educators offer care from 6am to 7:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 7pm on Saturdays, each within their own hours. You pay by the hour for what you book.

Curious minds, small groups

Small groups give educators time to follow children's questions wherever they lead, from maps and animals to bugs in the garden. Learning is planned around the Early Years Learning Framework and shared with you as your child grows.
