About Us

Dandelion Early Learning are delighted to have the opportunity to become a part of the Annerley and surrounding suburbs community. We are upgrading this existing centre which has been part of the community for over 25 years.

We will be taking our time to refurb and refresh our Annerley service so that it offers state of the art care and learning facilities for our families. We hope to be re-open by mid 2023, but welcome all enquiries before that time.

Nursery

Our nursery room has a large open airy space that enables babies to move freely in separate areas to explore or lay quietly depending on age and development. Our educators build strong connections with our earliest learners and families knowing this is often their first introduction to care.
