About Annabel's
Our independently-owned centres put your child’s care at the centre of everything we do.
A long history of Annabel's Educare in Canterbury
From the first childcare centre Annabel started, she knew that education, consistency, hands-on care and routine are critical components for raising well-adjusted, confident children.
Living our values
We embody the values of our centres, weaving them through every aspect of our curriculum development and our approach to fostering learning through play.

We offer a wide range of engaging activities that promote learning through play. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, children are encouraged to explore their interests and develop new skills.

We believe in building strong partnerships with parents. We provide regular updates on their child's progress and encourage open communication to ensure a collaborative approach to their education and well-being.
Engaging Activities
At our educare centres, we are committed to providing a nurturing and educational environment for children. Our team of dedicated teachers ensures that each child receives the attention and care they need to thrive.
Parent Involvement
We believe in providing a high-quality education that prepares children for future success. Our curriculum is designed to foster their intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Open-door policies
Our centres have open-door policies, allowing parents to visit and observe their child's activities at any time. We believe in transparency and encourage parents to be actively involved in their child's learning and development.
