The extra programs included in the fees, like sport and music are such a wonderful addition. My child looks forward to those sessions every week, and it’s great to see them developing new skills and confidence in a fun, engaging environment.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier. The centre has such a warm and positive atmosphere, and it’s clear the team truly love what they do. Highly recommend to any family looking for quality care and great communication.

The careers/educators I’ve had have been excellent and loving
Many friendships have been formed, some that continue well into primary school.
Our family love the friendly staff, engaging activities (especially the science experiences), and the extra curricular days such as sports and music. Recently our daughter has been learning about resilience and wellbeing as part of The Resilience Project, it’s these extra educational and inclusive activities that make Endeavour Hills ELC stand out from the rest. We feel comfortable knowing our children are in safe hands with Sandra, Carera & the team. Thank you EHELC, we don’t know where we would be without you!
