Occasional Childcare

At YCC, we offer high quality, affordable childcare in a happy, safe and healthy environment for children aged from 6 months to 5 years at 59 Francis Street, Yarraville. Permanent and casual places available.

Our community childcare is a fun and welcoming place for children to play, grow and socialise. We have a nurturing and family-like environment that many of our families choose as the first place their children have been outside of the family. We take this privilege very seriously and love getting to know each child while supporting children’s learning and development through the Victorian Early Years Learning & Development Framework.

Please call us to arrange a visit and tour of our childcare services.

We are unique in our inclusive care setting where our children are not divided into age groups or separate rooms. The result is a learning environment where all children are connected, included and supported.
Parents and carers may enrol for a maximum of 15 hours per week (offered as 5 hour days, maximum of 3 days) Monday – Friday.
We offer both casual and permanent positions, however, most of our children are booked into permanent places each week with the same children and carers.
The program is an indoor/outdoor program designed to allow children the freedom of choice, to explore the environment, and develop self-expression, confidence, and awareness.
Please note that our childcare programs do not run during school holidays or on public holidays.
Our childcare meets all government regulations.
We are ensuring that our services meet the Department of Education’s advice on COVID-safety.

Parent testimonials

“My twins are now 4 years old and have been attending YCC occasional care since they were 2 years old. They love the staff and always look forward to attending the centre. As a first time mum and the first experience of care for my twins, it was such a relief to meet such dedicated, friendly and kind Educators and we are so grateful for all the support from YCC.
