Casual and occasional care is flexible childcare for families who need childcare every now and then. It is suitable for families who do not need childcare regularly, but require childcare occasionally.
We offer casual and occasional care at children’s centres across Yarra. These centres are specifically designed for the supervision, education and care of children. They also offer services like kindergarten, long day care, maternal and child health, and parent information sessions.
The services are also licensed with the Department of Education and Training.
