Cherry Tree early childhood educators

are fully qualified, very experienced and extremely dedicated to their roles – many have been with us since it opened in 2000.

We truly value continuity of care and know how important consistency is in a young child’s life – which is why we our team is only made of of all permanent part-time and full-time educators. We employee regular permanent float educators which enables us to refrain from using “casual” or “agency” educators. This means that your child will always know and be familiar with every educator in the service!
