READ NOWAssociation chair and councillor Sally Palmer said the brand name change came about because the centre had different services and was called “the DEN” by the community.
“The service previously operated opposite the Morley Galleria shopping centre for 31 years,” she said.
“In 2015, the land at Tara Street was provided by the City of Bayswater and the Bayswater Child Care Association (Inc) built the new premises, which were completed in 2016.
“The centre was named in honour of the late Derrick Ernst, his skills as secretary and treasurer for 25 years is credited for the Bayswater Child Care Association’s ability to offer the community affordable childcare.
“In 2017, we applied for a sustainability grant from the Federal Government and it’s due to receiving the grant, that we’ve been able to put in a kitchen, created the BCCA website and increase our digital marketing.
“The grants has also funded the rebranding to the DEN, including the new logo and the animals that now decorate the building.”
