Our son has been attending Endeavour Early Education for over a year now. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support he has received during this time. He has thrived in the nurturing and engaging environment the centre provides. He has formed wonderful friendships with his peers and special bonds with his educators. He loves the extracurricular activities provided such as their sports program, music and movement and cooking experiences. We love watching him showcase the skills he has learnt at daycare at home. As working parents it’s a big relief knowing he is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for throughout the day. He loves going to daycare so much that he even asks to go to “school” on the weekends! His educators have been warm, welcoming, supportive, and professional. The Centre Director Vanessa is always actively involved throughout the centre and regularly spends time in the classrooms with the children. The hands on leadership is something I haven’t experienced working at other centres and sets Endeavour apart from the rest. We are grateful to be part of such a caring community and highly recommend Endeavour Early Education Kariong to any family looking for exceptional care.

About Endeavour Early Education Kariong

Welcome to Endeavour Early Education Kariong

Endeavour Kariong is an immaculately presented modern child care centre conveniently located moments from the Kariong M1 interchange. Our leafy natural setting allows our children to explore their curiosity whilst learning through play. Endeavour Kariong caters to children aged 6 weeks and older and is open from 630 am to 6 pm.

Endeavour Early Education children are school ready, healthy and well rounded:

  • School ready through THRASS and STEM
  • Healthy through organic paddock to plate food, Munch & Move and Allied Health Professionals
  • Well rounded through extracurricular French language, music and sport
  • Happy, nurtured, loved and cared for by educators who love what they do

School readiness program

  • Literacy program employing the THRASS system that is used in NSW schools. THRASS stands for Teaching Handwriting, Reading And Spelling Skills. It is a system for teaching learners of any age the building blocks of reading and spelling. THRASS has been highly effective in schools and learning institutions since 1998 and it is the most widely used and recognised system for teaching the phonographics and orthography of English.
  • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) introduction including numeracy and Computer Gym. Computer Gym provides confidence with computer terminology and operation; and experience with coding and a wide variety of software.
  • Social skills including communication, independence and resilience

Healthy

  • All meals and snacks are provided. They are prepared fresh daily by our dedicated onsite chef. We use only the best local suppliers of organic, free range, hormone-free and pesticide-free nutritious produce.
  • Outdoor play areas have large garden beds that our children use to grow their own organic fruit and vegetables. When they are ready, our children harvest, help prepare and enjoy the fruits of their labour for their own paddock to plate experience. This encourages a child to become more curious and excited about trying new foods, and to broaden their palate.
  • Children participate in our daily Munch & Move program – a NSW Health initiative that supports the healthy development of children from birth to 5 years by promoting physical activity and healthy eating.
  • Allied Health Team providing specialist examination and support in Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Dental, Optical and Paediatric Physiotherapy
  • Kinder m8 app that parents can access anywhere anytime. Provides instant access to their child’s daily information including what they have eaten, when they have slept, nappy change details, photos and video of activities and reports based on their child’s journal. Each parent’s app portal is private and can be accessed only by them.

Well rounded

  • Extracurricular French language. Learning a foreign language early helps stimulate children’s minds and gives them a positive attitude about learning languages and other cultures.
  • Music facilitated by registered and internationally acclaimed music therapists. Music therapy is a healthcare profession and music therapy programs help to enhance a child’s developmental functions. Music is processed on both sides of the brain. When a person is engaged in musical activities, the brain is actively firing more neurons and increasing the opportunity for development and learning.
  • Sport leveraging Ready Steady Go Kids, Australia’s leading multi-sport program for children.
  • Happy, nurtured, loved and cared for by educators who love what they do, supported by family owners

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

6 weeks - 3 years

These rooms contain plenty of resources to allow little ones to learn through play, including a building and construction zone, messy art area, comfy reading corner and the home corner for dress ups, baking and imaginative role play. There are also large spaces for movement and dance programs, as well as language and music sessions.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

At Endeavour, all meals and snacks are provided. The organic seasonal menu is prepared fresh daily by the in house chef. The focus is on the fresh organic produce, with weekly deliveries from local suppliers.  

The centre’s food is free range, hormone free and pesticide free – as well as being adaptable for any intolerances or allergies. With an on site garden and orchard, fresh fruit and veg is also grown at the centre with the help of the children.

Some of the children’s favourite meals include the organic meatballs with wholemeal couscous, and the fresh lasagna with salad. Some popular snacks are the spinach and cheese scrolls, fruit smoothies, and fresh fruit with organic yogurt. All made with produce from the garden.

Children help determine what is grown in the garden, which heightens their willingness to try new things and broaden their palate. Meal times are a shared experience overseen by the teachers, incorporating self-serve options where possible. The children are encouraged to share, pass ingredients around, take turns, help each other and clear away the plates.

We have been a part of the endeavor community since 2021 and have never had any issues, in fact cannot speak more highly of the place. We have always had prompt communication from staff and always felt we've had the best care for our children. The educators that we have had have been constant and my children have formed especially positive relationships with them. My youngest now has the educators that my eldest had. Endeavour have always included family participation whether its mother's day, fathers day, easter hat parades and Christmas parties. Wouldn't hesitate to send my children here.

We've been at Endeavour for nearly 10 years, and all 4 of our kids have loved it! Vanessa is an exceptional Centre leader, and is always there with a listening ear and welcoming smile. It's a really nice sized Centre, not too big or too small, and has a beautiful outdoor play area, garden and sandpit. The events throughout the year are also a great way for parents to engage with the Centre. Would certainly recommend!

Response from the owner 04 May 2026

Dear Susannah, Thank you so much for your lovely review and for being part of the Endeavour Kariong family for nearly 10 years. That truly means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that all four of your children have loved their time at Endeavour. Vanessa will be so touched by your kind words, she is very committed to supporting families and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment. Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting us with your children over the years. It has been a privilege to support your family’s journey.
