Childcare in Bendigo
Four centres. One community. Trusted by Bendigo families since 2008.
Jenny's ELC has been part of the Bendigo community for 18 years. With four centres across Maiden Gully, Bendigo Hospital, Strathfieldsaye, and Epsom, we're woven into the fabric of this region — sponsoring local clubs, supporting community events, and building relationships with Bendigo families that last well beyond the early years.
Bendigo is one of regional Victoria's fastest-growing cities, and families here deserve early childhood education that matches that ambition. Jenny's ELC is Australian family owned and operated — which means decisions are made by people who live here, know the community, and are invested in its future.
