Childcare

How to choose services

There are a number of Children's Centres within the City of Yarra providing a variety of high quality developmental and educational programs for children 0-5 years. These centres have individual styles, activities and opening hours. Most centres offer full-time, part-time and occasional care and many also offer State Government funded pre-school programs for four year olds.

We recommend you visit several centres in order to see the range of services, talk with staff and make choices about which centres would most closely match your child's and your family's individual needs. We believe childcare plays an important part in a family's life. We hope to answer any questions which will assist you in choosing the most appropriate childcare for your family

What will I need to take? How will I settle my child?
Each centre has its own orientation program and settling in process. Talking with staff in the various centres is the most effective way to find out particular details.
