Beechworth Childhood and Early Years Learning Centre has consistently delivered vital childcare services for the Beechworth community since 1998. What started as a group of families coming together to fulfil a need in the community’s childcare services, has now grown into a thriving early learning and childcare facility, and is today governed by a board of dedicated skilled members.
Our Centre Director Mandy has been with the centre for over twenty years. She has strong knowledge of the service and community that we live in, and if there is something she doesn’t know she will endeavour to find out.
