About Us

Established in 1929 on Rucker’s Hill in Northcote, Annie Dennis Children’s Centre is a not-for-profit, community-based early childhood education and care service. We provide high quality education and care for children from 6 months old to school age. This includes integrated kindergarten for children 3 to 5 years of age.

Our experienced team of early childhood educators provide caring, safe and stimulating programs in educational environments that nurture every aspect of children’s’ growth and development. This aligns with our values of connections, respect, excellence, care, creativity and learning. At Annie Dennis, children are respected as individuals and are nurtured to be independent, creative thinkers. Our educators and staff are positive role models and advocate for both young children and their profession. We welcome families and encourage involvement as an integral part of our learning community.
