Our story
An extension of our family
Carolyn and Michael purchased Edelweiss Child Care Centre in September 1999. Carolyn was an Early Childhood Teacher who worked for many years in the school teaching system and also in the Specialist Behavioural Unit. Her passion for working with children led her to follow her dream of buying a Child Care Centre where she could work with children everyday in a family oriented environment.
Carolyn’s eldest daughter Lisa decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps and upon completing University, joined the team at Edelweiss in 2000. After 25 years of providing quality education and care to the children of the area you will now find Lisa as the Centre Director and running the daily operations for the Centre.
Carolyn and Michael are very proud of the family environment they have created at Edelweiss Child Care Centre with both past and present staff and families.
In fact over the years each of Carolyn and Michael’s four daughters have worked at the centre in varying roles all while completing University Degree’s in their chosen fields and again when raising their young families.
About us
Empowering young minds
Walking your little one through the gates for the first time can bring a lot of anxiety and tears (for both of you). However, after meeting our staff and seeing our centre, you’ll be more than confident that your child is going to receive the care and education that will best prepare them for their school years and beyond.
Edelweiss Child Care Centre is a privately owned centre and has been operating in Mortdale for over 40 years, 25 of which are by the current owner. Our Child Care Centre caters for children between the ages of 2 and 6 years with a range of exciting educational programs and activities in a high quality long day care setting.
Your child will be in either our Early Learners room for children aged 2-3 years where they will be engaged in a play based program that encourages the development of socialisation and co-operative play skills, or our Preschool room for 3.5-6 years of age, where they will participate in our Preparation for School program. This program has been designed by our highly trained and experienced senior teaching staff, in conjunction with the Early Years Learning Framework, ensuring your child is ready for the transition to schooling.
At Edelweiss Child Care Centre you’ll find a friendly team of bi-lingual and experienced teachers and staff who are dedicated to providing a quality daily program for each and every child, with a stimulating and educational environment to foster growing and curious minds.​
Edelweiss Child Care is a long day care centre so we are open from 7am – 6pm Monday to Friday, and we are open 49 weeks of the year. We are closed on Public Holidays and for three weeks over Christmas.
Our Centre fees are $144 per child per day.
