Ekidna - Dee Why School of Early Learning
Ekidna - Dee Why School of Early Learning Centre overview
Ekidna is a family owned & operated childcare centre that is committed to providing high quality care for children. We are filled with dedicated educators/teachers who value building strong collaborative relationships with the children and families.
The children's individual needs are met through our child-led program that allows us to extend on their ideas, interests, imagination and strengths. We highly value the importance of children being offered experiences that will assist them to strive and develop to their best of their abilities.
We offer a high quality pre-school readiness program in our 3-5yrs classes, ensuring the children are given the best head start to their education. However we believe in building the children's self help skills, emotional regulation and confidence from the moment they start, transition through the classes to the moment they take the big leap to Big School.
We have a strong connection to the community. You will often see us out and about exploring, as well as engaging in exciting incursions at the service!
Our service has a passion for caring for our environment, our gardens are an attribute to the children taking responsibility and caring for them. They share such joy cooking & sending their harvests home.
We offer a nutritious menu for Morning tea, Lunch and Afternoon tea. We cater to allergies and cultural requirements. All of our food is cooked fresh on site by our amazing centre cook with the children giving a hand at times.
Included in the daily fee's are: Meals, nappies, wipes, bed linen & sunscreen.

Awful experience in the 3 months our 1 year old attended the center. Multiple reasons: - 1. Irregular staff meaning no idea on sleep... Awful experience in the 3 months our 1 year old attended the center. Multiple reasons: - 1. Irregular staff meaning no idea on sleep times and no consistency in care 2. Regular phone calls requesting to pick up baby due to suspected COVID symptoms with each time proving negative but excluded for 48 hours meaning loss of time & money 3. No consistency in using the app for photos / updates 4. Complete lack of empathy to our situation and pressure they are placing on us when excluding our child from daycare due to fake symptoms 5. Worst example was a phone call suggesting our child was having difficulty breathing. In place of calling a paramedic they called us. This is our 2nd child and by far the worst childcare center we have encountered. Highly recommend Little Scribblers in Brookvale as an alternative which our first child attended during the height of COVID where we experienced none of the issues above. Read more
